Exodus is my favorite though. I love thee hell outta Hallucination Rain and the segues are hilarious. "Play me summa dem '45s ya got over there...I ain't leavin!" "Did anybody ask you what'chu know?" "Sonny T, effin' wit me, wait till he gets a couple sips of that Hallucination Rain...ain't gonna be nuttin nice, nuttin nice..." Mash Potato segue. 
And my favorite...when P starts screaming on NPG Bum Rush The Ship. stay calm and no one will b hurt  man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

but the NPG early 90's is different then the NPG albums of mid 90's. The first one was about Tony M. and the other ones were Prince behind a scarf.
Goldnigga: Can I say OK? A lot of the songs were weird...Johnny was cool Exodus: A lot better... THE GOOD LIFE Newpowersoul: NICE!!! ... was it NPG or Prince (p was on the cover) Prime aka The Kid

I remember the first time I heard Get Wild it was on the Saturday NBA show with Ahmad Rashad. He introduced it as: "He are the slams of the week along with the new song from the NPG Get wild."

I much prefer Gold Nigga to Exodus.
The title track is really dark and hypnotic and Tony M's smooth delivery on that track kinda reminds me of George Clinton on P Funk. But Black MF's In The House is my jam! I love Prince's impression of racist Texan rednecks - and fuck me it's funky! | |

Kirk handles the drum programming and horns by The Hornheadz are featured on several tracks (The Hornheadz is The NPG Hornz minus Brian Gallagher).

Chaka Khan lends her voice to "Push It Up" and "Come On." Former NPG guitarist Kat Dyson plays bottleneck acoustic guitar on "Come On." Doug E. Fresh delivers a rap on "(Eye Like) Funky Music" and appears on "Push It Up." Rhonda Smith plays fretless bass on "The One." Larry Graham also appears on the album, although he isn't credited for any specific input.

from housequake ^^ according 2 what u have said, that prince played the majority of the tracks somehow making this a "prince" record, ur quoting the liner notes from this album suggest otherwise. so either u belive what has been "credited" or not. but either way it's pointless since this is not a prince release it's strictly a npg release man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |
