RZA + Paul Banks (Banks & Steelz) talk NWA, Elton John, Prince, Phife Dawg, Kool Keith

[Deltron]

Banks and Steelz - a musical collaboration between Wu Tang Clan's RZA and Interpol's Paul Banks sat down with Hard Knock Tv's Nick Huff Barili for an in-depth interview. In part 2 of the conversation RZA and Paul share how Elton John, Leonard Cohen and John Frusciante inspired him. As the conversation progresses both artists recall their memories of Prince, David Bowie and Phife Dawg from Tribe Called Quest. Part two takes us back to Paul's childhood and how he was introduced to hip hop through N.W.A and later was influence by Deltron 3030 and Outkast's Stankonia. Much more to come!

I used to tell people Deltron 3030 album was an all time classic not only in the Underground

I think EVERYONE needs to listen to that album

Speakin of Paul...A Prince Among Thieves is another all time classic...love watching interviews like this because it reminds me of all the dope music i've forgotten about...i got another playlist to make

edit: it also makes sense for Paul to like 3030, 3030 and APAT are both conceptual albums...we need to bring back concept albums regardless if its main stream or underground

"When he was playing the Bowie"

RZA'S speech impedement is hilarious
