I'm thinking about buying the Gold Nigga CD and I wanted some feedback from orgers who've listened to this album, such as best/worst songs, etc. Thanks.

It's a CD but the segues might get on Ur nerves after a few listens

I like Black MF in the House and 2gether

Johnny is mah fave.

Careful which version of the disc you buy -- the original pressing has a track called "Deuce and a Quarter" that was removed from subsequent pressings due to (I believe) a sample that they didn't have the rights to use.

wasn't it "Guess Who's Knockin?" that was removed?

Yes it was because it stole the lyrics from a Paul McCartney song so he would have been entitled to a song-writing credit and royalties!

ufoclub said:

That's right, some Paul McCartney sample.

The album is basically one of the old incarnations of the NPG, with Tony M singing lead vocals. Prince only appears in a co-vocals way on 2 tracks. The album is a Prince-take on gangsta-rap and there are a few segues about getting paid.

Great CD, the instrumentals are brilliant, Deuce & A 1/4 is great, Black MF too. Everyone likes Johnny of course.

Call The Law, 2Gether, it's really only the title track/segues I'm not too fond of.

Could anyone who has the original cd please post here the credits of each track (writers, producers, musicians..)? I'd like to know what exactly is Prince's involvement in this album. Thank you.

The album only credits the whole album - 'All songs produced, arranged and performed by The New Power Generation', listing Tony Mosley, Levi Seacer Jr., Micheal Bland, Sonny Thompson, Kirk Johnson, Damon Dickson, Tommmy Barbarella, and Morris Hayes. The NPG Hornz aren't mentioned although they appear on nearly all of the tracks. Despite the ambiguous credits, Prince was heavily involved in the album, coming up with the basic ideas for most, if not all, of the songs.

'Call The Law' was previously released as a Prince song on the b-side of Money Don't Matter 2 night'.

i think this is the only side-project/protegee project i've never heard.

well, that's not true. i've never heard the dale album or the good question album.

i've never had shock treatment therapy either.

love black mf in the house and duece and a quarter

Dale -- good lord. What a train wreck. I'll admit I still have the CD.

Just one thing - don't pay any more for it than you would any other CD. It's nowhere near worth the price that is often demanded for it.

Haystack said:

Uh, yeah, I was watching it on Ebay and it sold for over $80 bucks!!!
BTW, thanks for all the input.

Doozer said:
