Episode 3: Blockhead/Prince Paul

Welcome to Episode 3!

We sat down with Blockhead to discuss hip hop and sample legend Prince Paul! Prince Paul is most famous for his work with De La Soul and made some immense strides in the way sampling was handled in the 80’s/90’s. In this interview we break down what changes happened within hip hop to get where we are today. We also talk about sampling then vs. now. Blockhead is a super knowledgeable person about the history of hip hop. This interview is so informative and covers how we approach the ever changing landscape that rap music has experienced. And what better artist to discuss this with than someone who cranks out some of the most unique and intricate sample based beats. Blockhead has worked with a multitude of people from Illogic to Aesop rock. This NYC based producer is not afraid to let his weird style shine through. From the multitude of different albums he has released it’s easy to see the range this man is capable of. These are two similar artists that still maintained their own lanes in their art form. We also get into Blockheads previous projects and groups to see where the style that inspired him bled through the most. From the Music Scene, all the way to his newest album, Free Sweatpants, Blockhead has entertained a multitude of genres while still having a distinguishable sound. We can’t thank Blockhead enough for sitting down and chatting with us fresh off of his European tour. Stay tuned for our minisode to find out who our next guest is!
