well De La were new artists when the album dropped and it seemed to build slowly with "Me Myself & I" being the third single

oh, I forgot "sampledelia" was a thing. I guess in that context Paul's Boutique is psychedelic. but, pretty much none of my (admittedly limited) experience with psychedelics is evoked when I listen to Paul's Boutique

Things that are psychedelic about Paul’s Boutique:-“A Year and a Day”-Late-period Beatles samples throughout “Sound of Science,” and the beat-less section between the song’s two main parts.-The “dubby” feel of “3-Minute Rule”-The heavy breathing laid over the Eagles sample in “High Plains Drifter” -Maybe the “chorus” of “Shake Your Rump” (the squelchy bass sound after the title sample is played)-The “Shadrach” video-That underwater photo posted above
That said, I don’t think psychedelia is the dominant thing on “Paul’s Boutique.” As balls said, it came out at the same time as PE and De La were also creating these “chop up the past 30 years of music” sample collages that were far denser than the rap music of 3 years earlier. Psychedelia is in the mix just like funk, soul, and hard-rock records are, but it’s far from the only thing there; it’s not like “Hey Ladies” is reminiscent of listening to Barrett-era Pink Floyd.

This is somewhat obvious, but there's a clear similarity in the careers of the Beasties/Beck/Eminem. They begin as clowns/novelties (not an aesthetic judgement--those early records are my favourites by them), release a second album that critics write about very seriously, and after that, it's up and down.

Forgot this, on the psychedelic tip: "59 Christie Street" has the Hendrix sample, and "Car Thief" as a whole has a certain elements that I think qualify it.
Again, I think psychedelia is just one element in the mix, but I think it's there.

Things that are psychedelic about Paul’s Boutique:
and the riff at the end of "looking down the barrel of a gun", and overall, randomness embraced as an aesthetic approach
LTI was a good alb for drinking, but I know when my friends and I started listening to paul's boutique, certain substances made it a much richer listening experience, as good as spacemen 3 or monster magnet or w/e we were jamming at the time
so in that sense, if it wasn't psychedelic it was at least psychedelic-friendly
