 ..This is a perfect case in point about how different tastes can be, and a great reminder that just because an individual doesn't like a particular track that doesn't mean it isn't treasured by someone else. I absolutely hate Shoo-Bed-Ooh and Push It Up with a passion.  | |

I seem to remember that 1-800-newfunk and Mayte's album were also NPG records, but I don't have them here to check.
Now for the best of the NPG label... I guess it depends on what you mean by best... The best songs, collection, funk, most energetic and most fun? Exodus (possibly his best album of the 90s) The best CD to be used as a coaster? NPS (easy answer) Hope that answers the question. [Edited 5/8/07 11:45am] OK, now I've checked it out and here is the list I can gather (with help from wikipedia) of NPG releases: New Power Generation, Goldnigga, 1993 Various Artists, 1-800-NEW-FUNK, 1994 (distributed by Bellmark/Life Records) New Power Generation, Exodus, 1995 The Gold Experience, 1995 (distributed by Warner Bros. Records) Mayte, Child of the Sun, 1995 Emancipation, 1996 (distributed by EMI) Crystal Ball, 1998 The Truth, 1998 The NPG Orchestra, Kamasutra, 1998 Chaka Khan, Come 2 My House, 1998 New Power Generation, Newpower Soul, 1998 Larry Graham, Graham Central Station 2000, 1999 as , Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic, 1999 (distributed by Arista Records) Prince, The Rainbow Children, 2001 (distributed by Redline Entertainment) Prince, One Nite Alone... Live!, 2002 (distributed by Big Daddy Music Distribution) Prince, N.E.W.S, 2003 (distributed by Big Daddy Music Distribution) Prince, Musicology, 2004 (distributed by Columbia Records) Prince, 3121, 2006 (distributed by Universal Records) That is quite a list of NPG albums! I still like Exodus probably the best, with Crystal Ball nipping on it's heels for 2nd. Mavis Staples' "The Voice" and George Clinton's "Hey Man Smell My Finger" were also re-released on the NPG label.

If you notice the back of NPS CD cover, NPS was supposed to contain "the Good life - big city remix" on the ablum, but it was cut out because it contained dirty lyrics. The whole album sounds like someone threw water all over exodus's production and got this slick, clean, lame version. is that why theres no track 6 exactly -- the "good life" which is written there without a track number should've been track 6. | |

Exodus- it just feels so gritty,real and raw - i can imagine really freaking out to this in a club and the band playing their asses off.
NPS - sorry a bit to polished and mushy for me "Sometimes being a cold hard bitch is all a woman has left." | |

as for NPS, when the songs are good, they are ON FIRE....and when they're bad, OH MY GOD they're bad. wow... this album is for me the most plastic attempt with canned public to create a party album. Sounds like a c-artist imitating Princefeel (all except for the One) |
