His production style on De La Soul's 1989 debut <I>3 Feet High and Rising</I> drew from a wide variety of musical sources. The album was the first to expand the depth of sampling capabilities, perfectly mingling sounds not usually associated with hip-hop. It was also one of the earlier examples of skits on records, a trend followed by practically every hip-hop artist in the 1990s.In 1994, along with the RZA, Fruitkwan and Poetic, Paul created the Gravediggaz, a conceptual supergroup whose experimental sound was soon dubbed "horrorcore." He closed the '90s by dropping his solo debuts <I>Psychoanalysis: What Is It?</I> and the cinematic <I>A Prince Among Thieves</I>, while also hooking up with the Automator (another superproducer) and a gang of cutting-edge artists for the genre-bending Handsome Boy Modeling School's <I>So How's Your Girl</I>. With work on over forty albums under his belt, Prince Paul has consistently changed the rules of hip-hop, furthering its evolution with his startlingly original vision and sound. - Brolin WinningIndie Rap/Hip-Hopen720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 06:36:55 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.69117&rws=%2Fprince-paul%2Fmusic-videos.rss An extremely innovative producer with an astounding discography behind him, Prince Paul is the mad genius behind some of hip-hop's most landmark work.
