oh man, i’ve been reminiscing about good music and i had a flashback to HANDSOME BOY MODELING SCHOOL, a collaboration between DAN THE AUTOMATOR and PRINCE PAUL. the first album was my favorite and i JUST realized ROISIN MURPHY was on one of my favorite tracks featuring J LIVE. i loved her even before i knew who she was!
according to the wikipedia;
“Handsome Boy Modeling School is a conceptual hip hop duo that parodied and acted as a commentary on vain, consumerist, materialistic, and self-absorbed members of upper class society, such as supermodels and people from old money. The pair often satirized upper classsnobbery and perceived beauty”
if there is a god, she will make them reunite and bless us with MORE!
pre-GNARLZ BARKLEY they were also having fun with costumes and get-ups.
*their second album, titled “WHITE PEOPLE”.
the name HANDSOME BOY MODELING SCHOOL came from an episode of “GET A LIFE” and the first album sampled some of the dialogue…

On behalf of the curiously lazy side of me: Thank You. I’ve always wanted to know where they sampled HBMS content. Back when parody rap wasn’t so consumed with pop culture (read:eminem). The good old days.. Thanks!
