Prince Paul - Parting Ways With De La Soul Pushed Me To Work On Myself (247HH Exclusive)

[@DerrickLovelace]

Prince Paul gave me my big break in this music industry and I will always be grateful for what he has played part in my musical life ..

[@franklunna]

Prince Paul needs his own radio show.

[@RayzorBlade]

HD Word!

[@AJWise]

He used to have a XM radio show called the Ill out show.

Prince Amongst Thieves!!! Prince Paul a legend!!

[@1993ladyangel]

NOC FORMRUNNA that was a very good cd

[@matthewsierra314]

That album is a classic... it’s basically a movie on wax

[@jjowee]

Most slept on hip hop album made.

[@77Creation]

Excellent concept album. Solidified him as a top 5 producer in Hip Hop.

[@dogsandyoga1743]

Man...when he said he's been 18 since he was 18, he was speaking literally. My man looks 30 years younger than his age!

[@damienwiley2312]

A Prince among thieves was brilliant and great for the culture..

[@lordrhys5237]

Crazy how Prince Paul produces three De La Soul albums, 6 Feet Deep with the Gravediggas and works with Stetsasonic and from the sounds of it still had no credit to his name in the industry. From that alone he's an absolute legend, in retrospect if you were rapping in the 90s Prince Paul should have been a man you come begging at his feet to produce an album with you. This man is hella underrated.

[@akimsmyer5254]

As the child of a creative, I have learned that Ordinary people rarely understand the mind of a creative such as yourself...the beauty is being sure enough of yourself to give no F's - being who you're destined to be👍

[@SouthSideFrank]

I would love another De La/ Prince Paul album.

[@DigitalOdyssey3001]

It's hard for some producers to let the artists grow and have control of their sound after they helped create their initial success. Same thing happened with Quincy Jones and MJ & RZA and Wu-Tang Clan.

[@DJKeytronikzTV]

Grand Theft Auto needs to use Prince Paul as a radio DJ/host

[@IllDawgable]

I like how he admits to his sense humor being stuck under the fountain of youth, 'cause I can relate

One of my favourite producers of all time. Such a legend.

[@elvinsolano6177]

I loved Pyscho analysis that album is Gem.

[@ibramblebush]

Back when Hip Hop artists actually considered and called themselves ARTISTS, now we got a bunch of RAPPERS running around.

[@Tobra1]

The background beat is fire!

[@bruceskillis2323]

Psychoanalysis is amazing, such a dope album

[@jamaicalion1]

[@therealliveguy]

Beats on Psycho-analysis were stuuuuuupid dope, man. Would have loved to hear Pos and Dave over them beats with Maseo on the cuts.

[@247HH]

+liveguy Agreed!!!

[@eddiethetruhead]

[@phillytnoize]

I always thought MF DOOM would be ill over those beats too.

[@charleswas0419]

Gravediggaz, 6Ft Deep & The Pick, ThevSickel, & The Shovel!!! Classic

I'm huge fan of his beatz

They got to do another LP together because he sharpened them as steel

[@MFgabesylar3030]

I Would love to see Prince Paul and DeLa get back together to do a track just for old time sakes.

[@bluelyon9927]

RZA’s best lyrical flow imo

[@BOZACKSKY]

Stakes is high was hands down the best album produced by De la Soul

[@meyou5789]

Good Thing De La Soul did Stakes Is High without him, because thats the first De La Soul album that I could really play around other people😂

[@TheLuvrat]

If you can’t play “GHETTO THANG” “KEEPING THE FAITH “ “BREAKADAWN”” and lots of others from their 3 albums with Prince Paul. Then you need to change the people your around.

[@JEFFMAN90]

What a stupid comment smh

[@77Creation]

De La’s whole point is “be yourself”.

[@BOZACKSKY]

Stakes is high was de la's maturing

[@DJ--ALLDAY]

🔥🎵Beautiful Night🎵 off Psychoanalysis 🔥 that record would cause REAL problems today (it will never get radio play), but U GOTTA GIVE IT A LISTEN with an open 90's PRE cancel mind 🤣

[@teodelfuego]

I love De La Soul, but from Buloone Mindstate to Stakes Is High, is like stepping off a cliff. Prince Paul was a huge part of De La Soul's success. I haven't bought at De La record since the disappointment of Stakes.

[@box5bastard277]

Stakes isn't disappointing but out did sound like a regular record. My favorite group sounding like regular rappers did throw me off a little bit yell

[@dogsandyoga1743]

Wow. To each their own. But Stakes is a bonified classic my G. Real spit. It was a tad bit bloated, but I've NEVER heard anyone say they didn't like Stakes. Well...until now I guess haha...

[@dogsandyoga1743]

BOX5 BASTARD I mean, they grew up as well. It was inevitable. That might have been part of the split.

[@ldman906]

After steaks is high what would have been the best rap group of all times fell off But my problem is them boys didn't get paid enough

[@elijahstraight402]

For me, De La's sound fall off immensely after Stakes Is High. Without Prince Paul manning the boards, the tracks sounded pretty mediocre with exception of the collabos with Mos and Def & Common. And the title track of course. I'd had that album on CD for over 20 years and maybe only listened to it twice. Straight doo doo. Dumb decision not to include Prince on that. I get that they were trying to evolve their sound, but Stakes just didn't have the same feel to their original blend

this is great for a ketamine infusion.

So basically he attempted to roofie a chic : (

[@kenn_k]

No, roofies make you blackout. This was a prank and I'm sure if the rapper hadn't drank it, he would have told the girls after getting a few laughs. If the rapper is a real 80's thug, I wouldn't admit it either, lol.
