A true rock opera: Prince Paul "Prince Among Thieves" [video]

A while back I reviewed New Rap Order's "Order To Asymbol" and praised the producers for their Wu-Tang-like ingenuity. If you're curious about concepts that predated that, check out this video/trailer to Prince Paul's classic concept album, "Prince Among Thieves", which (surprise surprise) features a protagonist trying to hustle up demo-tape money before he meets with a scheduled one-on-one meeting with Wu-Tang's legendary RZA. Although the album was written in a format easily translated to screenplay, a corresponding feature film was never made (hint, hint, filmmakers).
