With or without Prince Paul De La is dope. Grind Date, Art Official Intelligence Stakes Is High are all great nearly flawless.

I saw De La live at South Street Seaport and they said they were working on and album with Premier and Pete Rock. Is that also this album?

This is the album Prince Paul was heavily involved with, right?

We might get another Infinite

would be my guess at this point, its just going to get more light shinned on it as a mass appeal release and Nas helping

Confirmed for November

 

[Stir Fry]

One of my favorite hip hop tracks of all time. Just a beautiful track all around.



Might have to run back Prince Among Thieves soon.

I don't know if I agree with De La not being great outside of Prince Paul. Those Art Official Intelligence albums were highly underrated and had bops in their own right and the Grind Date was another near classic. Yes the sounds were more traditional but it really speaks to their versatility as a group

Paul doesn't get mentioned enough as one of the GOAT producers. He's always been in my top 5. The catalog is crazy and spans so many eras and styles. He's always been more leftfield than guys like Premo and Pete, and hasn't really been a go to for hire producer working with the biggest names since the early 90s, so he doesn't have them joints with Nas, Hov, Big etc that people go back to. But in terms of crafting a project from beginning to end, very little are better.

And not just the Stetasonic, De La and Gravediggaz work. But his solo discography is very underrated too. Plus Handsome Boy Modeling. Even that Paul Barman EP had fire beats.

He does have a joint with Jay but this was back when he was rockin Hawaiian shirts

He also brings fun and charisma to the music. Maybe it's me, but I always associated De La with being a more fun group. After Paul left, those albums were pretty dark and didn't really feel like De La to me.

True. When we were kids, that's how we saw them.

Paul always said in interviews that the group's direction and vibe on the first three albums were basically his vision and experiences. And that he's always liked to work from concepts and then build the music around that concept. So we could definitely hear the difference once he was gone. He was the leader and said since he was a little older than them, that they trusted him to lead the group.

So when Stakes Is High dropped, I loved the album, but wasn't really into the new direction it took. They definitely seemed bitter and almost mad on that album, and were saying a lot of things that I think changed their own trajectory with their fans.

I got a lot of heat for saying this in an old thread about that album but for as much as I liked it, they sorely missed Prince Pauls vibe. They came across as hectoring grumps and complainers instead of just making good music to counteract the bullshyt going on at the time.
