“Psychoanalysis: What Is It?” – the first, full-length solo project from the critically
acclaimed producer famous for his work with Gravediggaz and De La Soul.
“Psychoanalysis” puts the listener in the room with Prince Paul and his
psychiatrist, a concept album which delves into the oft-psychotic and
mutli-faceted layers of his psyche. Each song on this album relates to different
forms of mental conditions, such as schizophrenia, hypothalamus, escapism and
various manias. The production of each track on this album plays highly
experimental and avant-garde; closely aligning with the mental disorders from
which they are inspired. Prince Paul truly pushed the envelope with
Psychoanalysis and admittedly was taken aback by the stream of positive reviews
that accompanied it’s original release in 1996. While many were accustomed to his
creative fluctuations between darker work with the Gravediggaz and more
famously his lighthearted and influential pairings with De La Soul,
Psychoanalysis proved that Paul could successfully combine his multiple
personalities into one cohesive landscape.
