it only takes sixty dollars and a dream


Dan the Automator and Prince Paul, aka Handsome Boy Modeling School, created one of the coolest albums of 2004 with their release, White People.

The album follows where "So...How's Your Girl?,"their 1999 debut, left off. Bringing together all corners of the musical spectrum: hip-hop, rock, roots, alternative and even jazz, HBMS have put together a seamless cast of players that include: Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington (Linkin Park), RZA, Jack Johnson, Alex Kapronos (Franz Ferdinand), Mars Volta, Pharell and more.

The results are a lot like an intellegent mixatpe, fun to listen to, challenging to comprehend but really great overall.
