"This was a demonstration of the versatility of Resident Alien. We wanted to make a song that embodied spontaneity and a classic feel. Extra vocals were provided by Derrick Lovelace, who was just a guy "hanging around' the studio. He said he sang, so we put him to the test and he has been around from that point on."- Prince Paul

Prince Paul Appreciation Week: Day 3- Flattery and I Want You (I'm an 80's man)

This post was a tough one. I wanted to keep the rule one track per post, but I love both of these tracks so much, I couldn't. Both are so musically sound and funny, I had to break my own rule. Please buy Itstrumental, you can find it for super cheap on Amazon and it's well worth your money.

Prince Paul Appreciation Week: Day 1- Beautifully Absurd

I'm working on a writing project about Prince Paul and I've accumulated mountains of interesting interviews, stories, and quotes. As a result of said research, I've been inspired to devote the next seven days of my life to sharing some great Paul tunes with you. The idea here is very simple. I'll post a song, a quote that is related to the album the song is taken from, a link showing where you can buy the full album, and a photo of Paul. Hopefully you'll enjoy his music and insight as much as I do.

"Just remember the future of hip-hop is in your hands, watch what you support and don't support. Record sales are like votes, it all counts. Your purchases have the power to change the course of the music being made and sold. Either take action or stop complaining about what you hear on the radio and TV."- Prince Paul
