| |introduction = '''2 The Wire (Creamy Instrumental)''' is the fourth track on the maxi-single of [[Single: Cream|Cream]], the second single from [[Prince]]’s 13th album [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]] (the first album to be credited to [[Prince and the New Power Generation]]). While loosely based on the song [[Cream]] and one of the other corresponding tracks, [[Things Have Gotta Change (Tony M. Rap)]], this can be considered a song in its own right. While labeled an instrumental, the track features several samples of lyrics and phrases, from [[Cream]] and [[Things Have Gotta Change (Tony M. Rap)]]. | | |introduction = '''2 The Wire (Creamy Instrumental)''' is the fourth track on the maxi-single of [[Single: Cream|Cream]], the second single from [[Prince]]’s 13th album [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]] (the first album to be credited to [[Prince and the New Power Generation]]).

| Specific recording dates are unknown, but it is likely that recording took place in September-October 1991 (along with [[Cream]] (N.P.G. Mix), [[Things Have Gotta Change (Tony M. Rap)]], [[Get Some Solo]], [[Do Your Dance (KC’s Remix)]], [[Do Your Dance|Housebangers]], [[Do Your Dance|Q In Doubt]] and [[Do Your Dance|Ethereal Mix]]). The song uses some samples that were used in [[My Name Is Prince]] (recorded [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September 18|18 September 1991]], indicating that the recording of this track was around the same time), but as these are samples taken from elsewhere, the use in [[My Name Is Prince]] should not be considered a sample of this track. | | Specific recording dates are unknown, but it is likely that recording took place in September-October 1991 (along with [[Cream]] (N.P.G.
