Paul Not Paul - Witty Unpredictable (M-Phazes Remix)
Artist: Paul Not Paul
Featuring: M-Phazes
Producer: M-Phazes
Album: Promo Single
Label: Diamond Music Group/Pyramid Builders
As you might guess from the duo’s collective stage name, Paul Not Paul are all about contradictions: their mission statement as laid out in their MySpace bio is “[to push] hip-hop forward by taking it back where it started,” and, though both rapper Paul Lewis and Monsters Ink. beatsmith Jon Numonics hail from Florida, their style incorporates Northeastern as well as Southern influences. What’s paradoxical on paper (or on a computer screen), however, makes perfect sense pumping through a pair of headphones. This remixed promo single finds Lewis showcasing his Witty Unpredictable rhymes over M-Phazes’ retro-informed blend of strings, piano, and chopped Chipmunk vocal samples. This revamp is mellower than Numonics’ brassy original but equally ear-pleasing, and Lewis’ alliterative, uniquely-flowed braggadocio is sure to get lyrical heads nodding along. This track has yet to be attached to any forthcoming project, but fans should watch for Paul Not Paul to drop a new EP off Diamond Music Group and Numonics’ own Pyramid Builders imprint in the near future.

 Unlike most genres, the title for a rap song far too often has NOTHING to do with the actual record. On this Paul Not Paul record, "Witty Unpredictable" couldn't be a more appropriate title.
The M-Phazes is very enjoyable, especially when it changes up at the chorus.

I wanna be like M-phazez when i grow up!
Good music lives in south florida, I learned that over the past few months and its time for the rest of yall to learn that as well. Get with Paul Not Paul cus they're dope and if you don't, then Paul Lewis will visit you in your sleep and try to sell you an old dirty chinese restaurant. Shouts to the homie Numonics for doing what he does as well! |

Feelin the production as bizarre, lush arrangements, vocal samples float around the track in strategic places and the minor details make the song sound great ...
Lewis' delivery/flow sound a lot like QuESt spitting well constructed verses ... Rotation fa sho! |

Dope track! Tight lyrics, ill beat, nice concept. The first time I heard it was a clip on iTunes and I copped it to hear the full thing. DL came with both versions. Both versions are dope but IMO the numonics version is a bit tighter. Peace to paul, numonics, M phazez and djbooth.Net!

Hey Paul! I love the song. Wow, you sound so different from high school. I'm a slow jam, old school kinda girl and if I do listen to rap, especially underground rap, the artist has got to come with it. This doesn't sound like basement music with people's phones ringing in the background so that's a big plus. Very talented indeed.... so proud of you!
