The ENTIRE album Gold Nigga by NPG is absolutely incredible on many levels. Musically, with Michael Bland on drums, he provides the backbeat that anchors the grooves. A stunning album. It's also got many funny moments. Hilarious and so so funky.
I don’t blame you. I was known to pay crazy money to see Prince perform live but for a cd???? That’s a no.
I agree with you big time on this one. When I started to look up Prince's discography. I saw this particular CD listed. So I did the same thing you did researched it and no luck anywhere. Checked, Tidal, Spotify, etc, etc. But nothing. And I am a big time Prince fan and when I saw how much that you found it for, my mouth hit the floor. There is more way that I would pay that amount of money unless I have money falling from the sky. So hopefully that whoever is in charge of handling the music for PRINCE, that they will release it. Take care, AND MAY YOU LIVE TO SEE THE DAWN!!
I did eventually get it digitally. Go check out my review cause it was really good.
I love the song 2gether on the album...♥♥♥
I have it . Bought it at a concert and honestly I've never listened to it going to today though.
Many "times" when "they" over price a piece of art. There is a reason, behind it. Those u have that album have said, musically it's phenomenal. I would venture 2 say; the reason they made the price so high is because; they...don't want U 2 hear, what is being Said.
Hi Prince’s Friends my husband download Goldnigga for me years ago and also NPG Exodus. Both CD’s of NPG were funky and off the chain and I wanted to buy the originals for CD covers, but the CD’s cost two much money or hard to find. I just glad I have both of download CD’s. Maybe Prince estate will release them that would be cool. 😎😊
What other “bootlegs” or albums that you have heard about that you don’t have? I might can send over some from my collection
I have it. You're not missing much though. Exodus was an awesome album by the NPG though.
I did a review of GoldNigga and was pleasantly surprised.
Agree...like Exodus more❤
Worth every goddamn cent..
💯
The “The Gold Nigga” CD is 🔥
Funny title for a album.
I think I got mine at Asylum Records in St. Petersburg when it 1st came out. Call the Law and Johnny make it worth it!
It’s amazing completely amazing
I agree. I did eventually get it and review it!
@@PrincesFriend it’s easily the best prince/npg side project in my opinion. I love exodus and 1 800 and of course nps but this is honestly a bit more my taste
@@PrincesFriend I will check out ur review 🥰👍
I own this one.
Slept on it for years, because of my dislike for all things Tony M. related ( probably the only 17 year old, not into hip-hop in 1993). Listened to it years later, because of hearing live versions of a few of the track's. Definitely worth listening to, at least once!
I love Prince & I liked hip-hop in 1993 BUT I never ever liked Tony M at all...I get that Prince was all about crossing genres & mixing multiple aesthetics for each album BUT Tony M was wack.
I’m glad I’m not the only one. I would’ve rather had Prince rap. I absolutely hated Tony M. It got to the point just hearing him would be an auto skip.
my friend bought Gold Nigga when it first came out, maybe I can rip you a copy
+CausalObserver74 I ended up getting a copy. Thanks so much!
This video appeared in my feed today. Surely you've heard in by now?
Yup!
Prince's Friend where'd u find it?
Randomly got a digital copy (not physical)
"Goldnigga" is the first studio album by the New Power Generation. 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. - I got this from Wikipedia.
Do you own The Family’s 1985 album on CD or vinyl? That one is expensive to find on CD too.
Yup! Great music!
This is very hard to find, have an version of it, with remixes, Prince, is rapping on it, found it hard to find, with the prices sky-high, Apollina 6 , is hard to find, got on CD with remixes, also, got the vinyl for 1.00, gold nigga, was only gave away at concerts, Prince did, another one looking for is War, by Prince and N. P. G., only given away in cassette form, too at concerts
Price difference is the 15 or 16 track version. Have both 😅 together single release is also rare
I cannot recall what I paid, but it was certainly not over $200.00. And I only listened to it once.
im sure you will see it one day. i have seen it in a shop before. it was expensive but not insane. i think it was around £50
cool hair dude😁😁
1 awesome hair Johnny is my fave from that album. Had it years ago but lost my copy. If I had known it was going to be so valuable...Great one though. I liked it. Hope you get your hands on it. ✌🏿
I eventually did 💜👍🏽
I bought Gold Nigga back when it was released on the Online website of Prince's years ago. I love the song "Black M.F. in the house. its so funny. worth getting a copy. but dont pay 100.00 or more. just keep looking someone will have it at a better price.
Ive Got Goldnigga On My iTunes
Found It For Download On Reddit
Its A Very Good Album
hey, do you have the files?
I'm Prince's biggest fam and I never even heard it!🤩
😂 check out my review since I have it now (this is an older video)
@@PrincesFriend For sure
The band sounds sick! A record that gets way too much hate.
agreed
I bought the second pressing of NPG-Goldnigga cd album (the one without "guess who's knocking") along with NPG-the good life(1995, released before the Npg-Exodus cd album) cd maxisingle, and Prince-Purple Medley cd maxisingle(1995) directly from 1-800-new funk (Prince's official mail order store) in 1995 when i was 15 years old!🤘🏻💜
Npg-Exodus cd album i bought it in 1995 when it came out, on cduniverse (an online cd store) it was a German import. That album was never made in the Usa.
Prince's 1991-1995 was his best era, Npg-Goldnigga(1993) and Npg-Exodus(1995) are 2 of his best albums.
Npg-newpowersoul(1998) sucks it's a fake Npg (the real Npg is the one that recorded the 2 Npg albums Goldnigga and Exodus: Sonny Thompson, Michael Blend, Tommy Barbarella, Morris Hayes, Levi Seacer Jr, any other people besides those, are not real Npg members) album, one of Prince's worst albums.
I love Prince & I liked hip-hop in 1993 BUT I never ever liked Tony M at all...I get that Prince was all about crossing genres & mixing multiple aesthetics in each album
BUT Tony M was wack.
Watch my goldnigga review. That album changed my mind in Tony M
I have my limits, this is about it🤪 like..... It's not a Prince album. He may be on it but that's a hard easy no for me 🤦
Bro, it's all over torrents since forever
I hear ya, but, it seems eventually you got it (it's still the only one i've never heard) BUT-- thoughts on Newpowersoul, and, shouldn't that "NPG" album, at least, be available on streaming services (for obvious reasons)...
I have it & tbh its the one I'd listen to the least, as it only has like 2 songs with his vocals on' Exodus is so much better as an NPG album' even Newpowersoul'
Agreed. It's one to own as a completest.
It’s sad I could of had that one back in the day but didn’t get it/Playboy
If you can work with torrent-files you can grab it in MP3, 320kb overhere :

found a legit site that has it for $60. Im sure you've heard it by now, but don't know if you own it.
I do and thank you so much
First off... I'd like to simply say Hi Friend from another... I had a bunch of bootleg P stuff shared, but had my channel ended despite only sharing stuff that was never released. I won't get into that much, but I'm no longer sharing anything in an effort not to challenge them at all this time around... I'm loving what you're doing... and I will be your next subscriber looking forward to each review even though I have different opinions about several things... a lot of times our favorites have been the same... To my review...
01. Goldnigga Pt. 1 - Clocking in @ 3:11... this is the longest and possibly best version of this jam. Tony does a great job.
02. Guess Who's Knockin' - This is a raver track that actually uses a very tiny snippet from Paul McCartney's Wings song "Let Em In" during the chorus of the tune. It's the first of the album to feature the horn section.
03. Oilcan - 42 seconds of jazz used imo to settle the listener for what's to come...
04. Segue - 16 seconds because the oilcan stayed hot...
05. Deuce & A Quarter - My favorite track on the album, although I love them all... "In my Deuce & A Quarter, feelin' funky funky fine, and I'm rockin' that stupid shit"... Michael B.'s drums on this are perfect as well as Prince's background vocal work, the horns, everything. The title refers to the Buick Electra's nameplate which references the length of the car. (225 inches)
06. Segue - 21 second phone thing
07. Black MF In The House - Prince's rap @ the 1:07 mark... "Don't U hate it when a niggas in the house, He ain't been in the club 5 minutes b4 6 or 7 curse words flyin' out his mouth, hand all on his erection, makin' rude jestures in the girl's directions, and don't you hate it when they get up and dance... U don't watch Soul Train, Boy, U ain't got a chance, what the hell they gotta come in here 4, next time we need a big white sign on the door that says no black mf's in the house." Funky.
08. Goldnigga Pt. 2 (2:52) is a conversation type track between gf and goldnigga.
09. Goldie's Parade is a N.P.G. Jazzy Jam full of exstasy. A carnival ride.
10. Segue
11. 2Gether - "What are we if we're not 2gether?"
12. Segue
13. Call The Law a slammin' song... Tony M. at his best in my opinion with an awesome Prince guitar and funky bass and drum.
14. Johnny, opens with a comedy skit before breaking into a great jam.
15. Segue
16. Goldnigga Pt. 3 (2:38) Outro jam
Eye got this Imported when it came out and still listen to a number of these tracks over and over from time to time. Eye would also highly recommend "Exodus" and Mayte's "Children Of The Sun" not to mention "The Undertaker" but eye guess I just did. Hope you are able to acquire this and dig this short review... it's a favorite of mine along with Exodus as N.P.G. greatness. I wouldn't sell my original copy for $1,000. I'm just sayin'... my collection wouldn't be complete without it. It's simply that good.
Peace, Love, & Happiness, May U Live 2 See The Dawn, ... ReaLDeaL
+ReaL DeaL yep I have all those albums and they are on the list for review. Thank for your thoughts. We'll see if they coincide when I get to that one. Sorry to hear about your channel. I had some challenges when I started mine too, but I'm happy with the format we have right now as it doesn't get us in trouble. Lol
Why?? I was going after the Gold Experience that is $93.00 for the CD on Amazon. Who is driving this???
Hahahahah 😂
Have you heard it yet? Cause I think I’ve got it
Yup! I have it now. That was one of my first videos lol.
It’s my case too. 🙃
Did you ever get a copy of this? If not, I'll send you MP3's of it tonight.
Exodus is excellent but gold N is a no thanks
LOVE THIS ALBUM, it kills! i got it fr $20 when prince was still with us. if u want a copy, dm me an address!
jivesideproductions dude how much
dude, i'll copy it fr the cost of a mailing address. jiveside@gmail.com hollr!
Are u still sending copies?
Pshh you don’t want to be an MF DOOM fan then .... 🤦♂️
I didn't get a chance to watch the whole video but just to let you know...Try Discogs.
At the time I write this comment (10/19/2017), there are two for sale on Discogs from $236 and one on eBay for $195. Yeah, very rare but at least there are some floating around still.
I have it. Did you find it yet?
Yup! Even did a review of it
Ok. Good.
Did u found a format 2 listen 2 it?
I did! Thanks! It'll be in the lineup fo reviews when we get there. :-)
Prince's Friend Great!!! 90s is my favourite era for Prince's era
www.discogs.com/The-New-Power-Generation-Gold-Nigga/release/526337
Because its terrible
Personally, I've always felt that it was a complete disaster whenever Prince rapped. It just doesn't sound effortless like it does when he sings rock/pop or arranges or just jams. I've heard this and I'm not a fan. It's a little too gangsta without merit. JMO.
I have it, just send me a private message, and I'll get to it asap.
Or I can send you a link to where you download it.
I sent you a direct message through CZcams.
Prince's Friend, my curiosity has been piqued due to an attack on my taste by a Prince stan: I have been watching your reviews and enjoy them alot, but is there any Prince work that you absolutely hate? I was a huge fan of his but personally think after "Gold Experience", he fell off in terms of creativity. Your thoughts?
I can't think of any that I hate, no. There are a few that aren't my favorite, but I "got" what he was trying to do with them. On the whole, though, I don't hate anything Prince did. Hate's a strong word anyway, and not one I like to use.
What is your favorite Prince era?
I'm a 90's kid, so slave/emancipation era was my favorite. :-)
Do you think to the contrary of what most critics, myself included, that "Emancipation" would have benefited from editing? While I loved the excess when I had bought the album, ("hey, the more Prince, the better", I then thought) I personally think there are many b-side songs, too many, and because of that, "Emancipation" suffers, with the exception of about 1/3 of the opus, as a forgettable piece of work. B-sides don't have to be throw-away songs, but I think "Emancipation" is overwrought with them.
+Valentino Miller I would say yes, I disagree with that idea
Yeah, I have the less rare CD, but it's very forgettable and cringe. There are a few funky instrumental segments, tho'.

It is ok.
Gold Ni99a SUCKS!!!!! If you haven't picked it up DONT!
got it and already reviewed it. I was pleasantly surprised upon listening.
@@PrincesFriend Wow.... That is one of the worst albums ever put out by Prince beside the one from 8 yrs ago it was online for previewing and he eventually shelved it. To each his own taste. Ice Cream Castles... I will comment on that on your review. ✌ 😃
I think I still have a digital copy of this. I'll trade if anyone had the studio version of *electric intercourse*
I am pretty sure the album is nothing special. I wouldn't waste your money. All it is going to be is Tony m rapping. I wouldn't lose sleep over it.
I eventually got the album and reviewed. It was way better than o could have thought. Go check that review out.
I have it. It sucks.
Unlike you, I'm nobody's stan and can be objective. I do not love EVERYTHING that Prince produced. Most Prince fans and stans love him because of "Purple Rain". I actually prefer his music post Purple Rain. I have "Goldnigga'' and it sucks balls, mainly because Tony M. takes the lead with his sub-par rapping abilty. If you don't like that, too bad.
If it helps, the album is pretty shitty, bombastic nonsense with a lot of Tony M rapping and generic I wanna be a gangsta rapper nonsense.
