I just don't get the hate - dood is harmless and occasionally funny. There are SO MANY worse "white dude appropriates black culture" musical acts out there who are painfully bad (Matisyahu anyone...?)

I couldn't really listen to his album after two spins, but I'll admit that a couple of his rhymes are permanently lodged in my brain. Like his throwaway answer - cited in an interview - to KRS-One's couplet "my English grammar comes down hard like a hammer": "My babble gavel scatters the pieces of your Travel Scrabble."

I saw him ad-lib (er "freestyle) a bunch of "Cock Mobster" lines live once and that pretty much sold me on him. He was just taking celebrity names from the audience and coming up with filthy rhymes for each one... arrrgh I wish I could remember his Madeleine Albright line...

The first EP had some really great Prince Paul stuff I thought.

but aside from the great Barman debate...what did happen to him? does he still do music?

i haven't listened to pallelujah! in a while, but i thought it was pretty funny and would probably still think so.

plus also, hating him seems so silly. and i'm 4 years late with this, but ...

I think any serious look at him has to reveal that he's essentially just pushing at the limits of exactly what kinds of content we expect from hip-hop, what we expect to be said.

... nitsuh otm.

one month passes...

i was just listening to the mr. dead album 'metabolics vol 2: dawn of the dead', and paul barman appears on the track 'chemically imbalanced', which is a pretty goddamn great track until he shows up and ruins it.

ethan is just another one of those indie boys that like to tell the rest of us how hip hop should be. paul barman makes me laugh and raps good.
