Who's playing on 2 Nigs United 4 West Compton?

Heard it again today for the first time in years. Love that song and that album. It's such avant guard funk. Wish Prince were so adventurous now.
Who are all the musicians on it?

The Black Album is a funk beat-down, and 2 Nigs is the blood soaked steel-toed boot. The rhythm section, and especially the bass line on this track is a whirling dervish of everything that's cool about Prince's ability to stank up a song.

An album of 2 Nigs style instrumental jams would have been pure bliss.

I think its the best song on the album, so funky. Its like one of them tunes u can really sink ur teeth into its like a starter main course and dessert then sex just leaves u satisfied and feeling good.
Love the intro.

Pro-You lying f***ing zebra!
Live and let live

the black album al2gether is so funky and dark it respresent whats music from music now the fun the darknrss and funky so many elments that prince captures ands xplodes on. this cd is just a example of how prince has so many levels 2 his talent

glad you raised this.....

recently-i came into Foefur stuff-man i can't stop listening to this album again-i have very decent audio equipment anyway-so the original cd sounded good-but this remaster is amazing-AMAZING-and 2 nigs was always my fave-alomg with superfunky.....

man i'd love to hear some of these tunes live-except Bob George of course-if you take out the searing-theres only a couple of words left lol

Being someone who has always loved instrumentals 2 Nigs was my #1 when I got this in 87

Real stripped raw
This album was dangerous with even being in your face dangerous, nothing really 'evil' about it but it had an unrestrained feel to it despite it musically being really stripped

Man we sure did miss out on Black promotion for this: what would the look be, videos? tour or aftershows...I bet some of the photos we see from the Lovesexy era were originally for the Black album

Superfunkicalifragisexy #2 Bob George #3 Rock Hard In A Funky Place #4

i always thought it was just sheila and p. thus, the "2 nigs"

...i L-O-V-E THAT SONG!!!..

When I heard "The Jam" by Graham Central Station I kind of wondered was 2 Nigs inspired by it. Nonetheless a awesome track.

Love 2 nigs, but why oh why did prince feel it necessary to add that annoying high hat through most of it!? i would like to hear an undubbed raw version!
