07.18.07 Prince Paul Tribute

so funny i put the a prince among thieves clip on my page yesterday and today hear about this tribute to Prince Paul (aka ppdiddy aka pablo picasso). for those that don't know he was the DJ for STETSASONIC (the first hip hop band), produced DE LA SOUL'S first three records (word) inventing the hip hop skit along the way, produced CHRIS ROCK'S comedy album (no sex in the champagne room y'all), formed the GRAVEDIGGAZwith Rza, Fruquan, and Too Poetic, recorded the first hip hopera/ a movie on wax, ' a prince among thieves,' (which by the way i am working on for my master's thesis on Theft- well, a positive reformulation of theft and hip hop aesthetics- but more on that later), and recently appeared as a judge on Ego Trip's the White Rapper Show.

he continually makes some bugged out good soundin shit and has given much to this thing we affectionately call Hip Hop.. plus how often to we get to pay tribute while folks is alive (i mean he aint that old or nuthin but does joke bout retiring soon..)

yeah so i gotta get my ass out of jersey and get there.. i dont know most of dem underground cats performing (i's old and can barely keep up with hot), but the juggaknots is the truth, so imagine its gonna be a nice evening.. get there if you can!
