Prince Paul – Psychoanalysis: What is It? (Reissue CD) (1996-1997) (FLAC + 320 kbps)

From George Clinton and De La Soul to Ornette Coleman and Frank Zappa, a lot of great artists haven’t hesitated to be self-indulgent. It’s a question of how self-indulgent an artist chooses to be, and on Psychoanalysis (What Is It?), Prince Paul is much too self-indulgent for his own good. Known for his membership in the group Stetsasonic and for producing De La Soul, Queen Latifah, and others, Paul has an impressive resume. But this unfocused, incoherent CD wasn’t his finest hour. Though it contains a few worthwhile rap tunes (including “Psycho Linguistics” and “J.O.B. — Das What Dey Is”), Psychoanalysis isn’t a rap album so much as a collection of soundbites, samples, and dialogue played over tracks. Overall, the album is pointless and serves no purpose other than Paul’s desire to amuse and entertain himself. He may have gotten a few laughs out of it, but listeners will be left out in the cold and find themselves asking if there is a point to all this.
