Goldnigga
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Goldnigga is the 1993 debut album by The New Power Generation (with much
input by Prince). It was only made available for sale at some concert venue
merchandise stalls on tour in 1993, through Prince's 1-800-NEW-FUNK
telephone retail outlet, and at Paisley Park during the 2001 Celebration. It is
long out of print, thus very scarce and can fetch high prices second-hand.

The track "Guess Who's Knockin'" referenced Paul McCartney's "Let 'Em In"
without credit. Probably to avoid any legal difficulties, the track was removed
from second and subsequent pressings, making initial copies of the album
even more highly sought after.

The album presents hip hop in the setting of a live band. Vocalist Tony M. raps
on most of the songs and a variety of segues throughout the album provide a
humorous storyline about the recording of the album, as well as Tony M.'s
sexual exploits. Many of the themes are about racism and other ills in the
black community. Prince plays a background role in the album, though he sings
in character on the songs "Black M.F. In the House" and "Johnny". Both songs
were played live in concert by Prince several times during this time period. The
track "Call the Law" is older than most of the songs, being considered for
release on an early version of 1991's Diamonds and Pearls and later being
released as a B-side for a track from that album, "Money Don't Matter 2
Night". Indeed, Rosie Gaines provides backing vocals for "Call the Law"
though she left the NPG long before Goldnigga was compiled.

The New Power Generation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

When Prince began his formal dispute with Warner Bros. and changed his
stage name to an unpronounceable symbol in 1993, the NPG became a side-
project for Prince, allowing him to release music outside of his contract. The
NPG was intended to appeal to a more urban audience than Prince's
mainstream material.
The NPG's debut album, Goldnigga, featured Tony M. as lead vocalist/rapper.
The album relied heavily on rap, while the music itself was reminiscent of
1970s funk. Prince participated heavily in writing and performing the music,
while Tony wrote and performed raps. Prince provided co-lead vocals on two
songs, "Black M.F. in the House" and "Johnny", and the two were often
performed by him in his own concerts and aftershows.
