NPG FUNK

Return of the Bump Squad is a ridiculously funky song. do you guys think that Gold Nigga and Exodus are funkier than
all of the Prince or symbol albums?

Just happened to have played the live version from NPGMC and I was thinking the same thing. I dont feel the NPG stuff is that much funkier than Housequake, Irresistable Bitch, 1+1+1 is 3, Undipsuted, or Billy Jack Bitch

I don't compare them too much, but i love the funk of 'Goldnigga'. Especially "Johnny".
I heard P play this back in '93 in the Erotic City room in Glam Slam and I started chanting the chorus 'Uh oh oh, uh oh oh' and the people around me thought i was on crack.
The album(GN) came out about a month or two previously, but no one there had heard it.

After P jammed on it for a while and then started singing, I was redeemed.

"Tell me, tell me, tell me what am I suppose 2 do
I never had another granny look like U
Every time I see U, girl, my Johnny get hard
Harder than the handle on the rake in my yard
Harder than the brownstone brick on my house
If I ever, ever, ever get U into my mouth (Yeah)
I'll drink U like a 40 in an alcoholic's hand
Baby, can't U understand?" -- prince

while I don't care that much about "Gold Nigga" (maybe because I don't have it on a CD) I am simply in love with "Exodus". I love the funky songs "Return of the Bumpsquad", "Big Fun", "The Exodus Has Just Begun" and really enjoy the haunting atmosphere of "Hallucination Rain". Also, I should admit that I don't care that much for "Get Wild". But some of the seques are too much fun - especially the Mash Potato Girl story. - I was so mad I bought this joint.

Anyway, in spite of what I said earlier I really enjoy "Johnny" - this shit is great, as would Sonny T. say (at least I think he would).

Goes without saying smile I'd say that, just Madhouse was his outlet for jazzy meanderings, NPG was his outlet for straight up dancey funk tunes. I love Exodus, easily one of my favourite Prince albums.

Ditto to all of that. Somebody (from this site) "stole" my "Gold Nigga" CD in a trade agreement rip off. I don't really miss it.

The Exodus has begun!
