The Genius of Prince Paul - 2007




Paul's new album Baby Elephant 'Turn My Teeth Up' with Bernie Worrell (act like you know!) is out soon. They didn't create some weak throwback nonsense. Paul didn't jump on any retro-funk bandwagons. Its not some sad homage to how great Parliment/Funkadelic once was, athough it doesn't hide from the past. It is instead a fearless, mad biography.

Billboard called it 'acid funk' but that doesn't really get the essence. As soon as you think you have a handle on this thing, it turns left. Again and again. What else would you expect from these dudes?
