While he may be best known for his work with groups like de la Soul, Stetsasonic and Handsome Boy Modeling School, it is often his solo work that fans turn to when craving that unadulterated Prince Paul sound. Released in 1999, his sophomore album, \"A Prince Among Thieves, \" has since become an undeniable classic amongst hip-hop enthusiasts and record collectors alike. Featuring an all-star ensemble of Golden Era MC's like \u003cstrong\u003eKool Keith\u003c\/strong\u003e,?\u003cstrong\u003eSadat X, Xzibit, De La Soul, Biz Markie, Big Daddy Kane, Everlast, Chubb Rock, RZA, Special Ed\u003c\/strong\u003e and more, this ambitious piece of humorous hip-hop storytelling is like an odyssey of 90's rap, even earning praise from music essayist Robert Christgau, who called it \"The closest thing to a true rock opera you've ever heard.\" What lies beneath, however, is biting satire that plants listeners right in the thick of the struggle, the hustle, the rough underground from which great hip-hop is so often inspired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe concept follows the story of an aspiring young emcee named Tariq, played by emcee \u003cstrong\u003eBreezly Brewin of the Juggaknots?\u003c\/strong\u003ewho needs to collect money to record a demo tape before a meeting with \u003cstrong\u003eWu-Tang Clan\u003c\/strong\u003e leader \u003cstrong\u003eRZA\u003c\/strong\u003e.
