I'd say all of Prince Pauls records were concept albums. Pyschoanalysis and Politcs of the Business, but I'm sure many would/will disagree.

no, i totally agree mike g. i wasn't feeling pollicks too much, but i understand what he was trying to do...he was going out of his way to make a commercial sounding hip hop album (like 'nerd'ish kind of stuff) but even his de la projects and gravediggaz or paul barman stuff to his teaming up with automator on handsome boy...all pretty much have concepts. that dude needs to keep releasing stuff...dude is a concept genius!

Sgt. Peppers sort of inspired a musical/story. I guess that wasn't their intention though.
- mike_g0
Yes agreed. Even his house (hip-house) beats are pretty fly. I was gonna put Gravediggaz down on the one hit wonder list, but just couldn't bring myself to do it! It was too good of an album.

DJ Shadow + Cut Chemist - Brainfreeze

i was reading about psychoanalysis and prince paul's take on it, and it was a hard time for him apparently, so it was really personal. i think he should collab with mf doom or madlib, and get back in the game and revive followers. people still need to feed this trailblazer respect.

what's the concept of brainfreeze? is that the one about "gas"? and about cooking or something?
anyhow might as well say handsome boy modelling school while we're here.

for metal fans, all the King Diamond stuff.
favorites: "Abigail", "Them", "VooDoo", and "House of God".
for 25 years this guy's been knocking them out and he hasn't lost a step.
