" Prince Paul Speaks "

I'm quite sure all of the BATTLEFIELD readers are well versed regarding Prince Paul's music accomplishments and contributions, so there is no need to go into a long introduction....

The man is a fuckin Hip Hop genius....STRAIGHT UP....Instead of looping up James Brown breaks like the majority of cats were doing in the late 80's, Paul's sampling palette was diverse and he wasn't afraid to take risk by flipping samples from other genres that many producers of the time were scared to touch...

Not only is he dangerous with the production, he is a riot when it comes to comedy......I honestly think Paul could be a better stand-up comedian than half of these clowns I see on stage these days......SERIOUSLY....

Anyway, Nerdtorious. Com recently caught up with Paul to chop it about numerous topics......

PEEP....

"Speaking of new vs. old, talk about Gil Scott’s recent passing and how his work struck someone of your generation.

It’s crazy because you don’t even have to be in that era to know how great it is. You could put on Michael Jackson for a 1-year-old and they’d be happy. This is the same way. It’s just so good and there’s so much to get out of his music. Besides the obvious ones like “Bottle” and “Whitey Moon” the compositions and everything was so thought out. Today everybody is very carefree with their music unlike the ‘60s and and 70’s where you have so many social issues weighing on you daily so obviously the music reflected that and I think, in a way makes it better. Gil was simply so intelligent, so slick, and so thought out."
