Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Prince Paul has already proved himself as one of the best producers in hip-hop (De La Soul, Cypress Hill, Dr. Octagon, Chris Rock). Psychoanalysis proves he's also totally ill. (Er, that's a good thing.) The disc is more of a producer's sketchbook than a reliable album and is composed of scratches and skits mingled around a bizarro-world mimicking of nearly every style of urban music you can imagine, from Miami Bass ("Booty Clap"), Delta Blues ("The Bitch Blues"), and R&B ("You Made Me"). Tracks like "Beautiful Night" are so deeply twisted that it might take repeated listenings before you're in on the joke. Psychoanalysis feels familiar all the way through but is also deliberately alien, perhaps recorded just so Prince Paul can imagine the expression on your face during playback. --Todd Levin

Prince Paul is the man.......2006-07-09

Psychoanalysis: What Is It? is the debut album by the most brilliant rapper/dj/producer of all time,Dr. Strange aka The Undertaker aka Prince Paul. Incase your not familiar with the most iconic yet underated producer in hip hop Prince Paul has produced for Stetsasonic,De la soul,Big Daddy Kane,Gravediggaz,Chris Rock,Handsome boy modeling school and many other big names in the buisness. This album may not be for everyone but Psychanalysis is a very great album by all means and I recommend this classic to anyone who loves good humor,Brilliant and dope beats and good real hip hop.

Not what you're expecting, but great.......2004-03-24

This CD is a trip. The beats are funky. Super creative topics are all over the map and they are completely realized. I haven't heard anything like it. If you have a sense of humor and like great music, get this album. If you are conservative and are afraid of your own thoughts, you might want some other album.

I know "they don't understand it", so what!.......2003-04-14

As in the case with "Prince amongst Thieves", Prince Paul has made another important album\cd which will problably be ignored largely. This is testament not to the music and content of this work but due to the fact that much of american taste is derermined by the Lowest Common Denominator(lcd). Our music is awash in songs about cellphones,beepers,'ho's,weed,guns,and general low life subjects that make no mention of just how irrelavent this all is. Prince Paul deals with hate,depression, homicidal maniac's, and that's just to name a few of the characters that inhabit this world. Guest appearences by Dan the automater and kool keith round out what is one of the best cd's to come along, in a long time in any era.

I'm a changed person forever........2002-01-28

Whoa. this album is up there. way up beyond the stars and planets. I have to say Prince Paul is one of the most talented(and sickest) producers out. Period. If you don't have this album and you wanna here some real funny and twisted stuff, get this album now. After listening to this track by track, I finally realized how crazy Prince P. is. It's kinda like an autobiography, i guess. More like a trip in the brain of Prince Paul. Please buy this album.

Prince Paul has lost his mind.......2001-08-19

My jaw dropped repeatedly while listening to this album, even though I had been warned that Prince Paul wasn't serious about everything. Hooks like "it's a beautiful night for a date-rape/it's a beautiful night for a kill," made me hurt myself laughing, while the parody of Schooly D's "PSK: What Does It Mean?" has become my current favorite song. This album is [messed] up from start to finish, and deserves your attention.

some of the best art of the 1990's.......2002-02-07

this album is spectacular, the best of the sound collage records that came out in the 90's, reflecting sound-bite media, the ridiculousness of modern life, and pig-headed misogyny, all while mocking nearly every kind of urban music from the best hundred years. the editorial review here on amazon is right, however -- it might take a few listens to catch on to the joke. most are poignant, most are hilarious. the beats are also funky, the sampling layered, the production sophisticated. i've never heard the tommy boy rerelease, so i can not speak on it. this record here, however, is pretty close to perfect. tommy boy would be foolish to tamper with it too much.
