This upcoming Saturday, Moneytown migrates to DC9 for a very special edition (of the always good dance party) featuring PRINCE PAUL (of Handsome Boy Modelling School etc fame).
Its going to be awesome. Use this quote from RAZOR & TIE as a motivation:
Fellow innovator Steve ‘Steinski’ Stein called this man “the closest thing hip hop has to a genius”. By the age of ten, Prince Paul’s pals were comparing him to Grandmaster Flash. He had to convince them otherwise, and has been challenging people’s preconceptions about hip hop ever since: from his scratches in Stetsasonic to his groundbreaking production with De La Soul and Handsome Boy Modelling School, as well as his solo productions. Heads should take note that rebellion and money were never the focus – even hip hop itself wasn’t the focus. “The focus, that was always the music.”
NOW-WE HAVE A PAIR OF TICKETS TO GIVE AWAY TO THIS JAMMY JAM AND YOU, QUITE NATURALLY, WANT THEM.
TO WIN-Just leave a comment telling us what is your favorite Prince Paul produced track, whether that be solo or De La Soul or Handsome Boy Modeling School, Gravediggaz, Stetsasonic etc., and why
We will notify the winners by Friday 9am.
Cool?
my favorite track is off of his solo album A prince among thieves, the track with Big Daddy kane is funny, and the intro is so hilarious the track is called Macula’s Theory…

August 12, 2009 at 10:33 amI’m a huge Prince Paul fan. I’ve been a fan of everything from the Gravediggaz (fave track “1-800 Suicide”), Stetsasonic (”In Full Gear” was my sh*t!), De La Soul (ALL of “3 Feet High”) and Handsome Boy Modeling School (hard to choose, but I think both of the albums were hilarious). If I had to pick a favorite Prince Paul song, it would probably be “Pen and Paper” by Stetsasonic. Stet was one of the earliest “hip hop bands” (if not the first) and made a huge impression on me as a youth. There would be no Roots if it weren’t for Stet!

Prince Paul is one of my favorite DJs ever. He DJed one of the best parties I’ve ever been to. It was like 7 or 8 years ago in NYC, and I still remember it. Me Myself and I is probably my favorite track he produced. I can’t explain why. It is just hip hop goodness.
