Psychoanalysis: What Is It?

A murky, satirical descent into the psyche. Prince Paul crafts a surreal hip-hop tapestry of clinical skits, dusty trip-hop grooves, and unsettling humor.

June 25, 1996 · Tommy Boy

A murky and satirical descent into urban neurosis that balances dark humor with genuine sonic dread.

Moments Worth Listening For

The jarring transition from clinical narration into the heavy, distorted bass groove of track 2.

The way the 'Beautiful Night' beat feels like it's dragging underwater before the drums snap into focus.

The unsettling use of laughter and environmental noise that bleeds between the diagnostic interludes.
