Published on November 18, 2004
On their 1999 debut, So...How's Your Girl?, the faux-stylish studs in Handsome Boy Modeling School (aka super producers Prince Paul and Dan "the Automator" Nakamura) emptied their imaginations and Rolodexes, creating an alternate musical universe with room for everyone from Mike D to Father Guido Sarducci. Yet while the follow-up, White People, is even more diverse--RZA, meet The Mars Volta; Pharrell, this is Julee Cruise--paradoxically, it sounds more coherent, dominated by several tracks (including "Greatest Mistake," an R&B duet between John Oates and jazz whiz kid Jamie Cullum) that are songs first, production showcases second. It's also no comedy record; aside from the skits by Father Guido and ex-SNL-er Tim Meadows, a wistful feeling runs through White People, beginning with the bleak, reggaefied single "The World's Gone Mad."
