Really enjoying this podcast. Paul is such a down to earth, good humoured dude I could listen to him talk ad infinitum.

Man this is my new favorite shit. So many gems, Paul rapping Rza's Gravediggaz verses in Japan, meeting De La, and this week the idea that Paul wanted Biggie on the Prince Among Thieves record as True.

Yeah, I didn't know how much I needed this to happen. All three have been dope from intro to outro and laced with fun facts, as Prince Paul calls them.
Like Eazy-E wanting to sign Gravediggaz, Q-Tip writing for Paul on De La's first album, why Paul felt the need to create skits (as well as their original title as “bug out pieces”).
Super happy for Mike since I know this is another dream of his realized. Since what we've heard was seemingly recorded last year, I hope we eventually get to the less celebrated output Paul's touched on, like Psychoanalysis, Politics of the Business, even the unreleased album by Resident Alien from his days running Dew Doo Man records.
Also:
As far as the Chris Rock episode, it can't be Buffy from the Fat Boys recording for Roll With the New in '96 because he died in December of '95. So I wonder what Paul is thinking about there.

they say prince paul invented the hip hop skits.
i say the last track on LL Cool J's "Bigger and Deffer"["on the ill tip"] is a skit.
that can't be the first rap skit, though. i'm sure there's something that predates that.
^ nice. Props for shipping the vinyl as soon as the real release is out. Hate having to wait months after the release....because usually I won't listen to it till I have the vinyl.
