MC Paul Barman is a rapper from Ridgewood, New Jersey, who attended Brown University.

Style

"Enter Pan-Man," from his self-produced 7-inch Postgraduate Work (Househusband Records, 1998), attracted the attention of Prince Paul, and the two collaborated, releasing the It's Very Stimulating EP in 2000 on Wordsound. Paullelujah! followed in late 2002, with production by Prince Paul, MF DOOM, MikeTheMusicGuy and Phofo. He has appeared on records with Deltron 3030 and Masta Ace, and has toured with Del tha Funkee Homosapien and Blackalicious. One of his most memorable works was the song “Housemate Troubles,” released on Matador Records, a scathing commentary on the modern social pressures of co-habitation.

Innovations

Va-Jay-Jay

In 2000, MC Paul Barman invented the word "va-jay-jay". ^{[citation needed]} Its first use was featured in his song, "MTV Get Off the Air, Part 2" from the "It's Very Stimulating" EP, released February 15, 2000. Since coining "va-jay-jay", the word has been weaved into the American lexicon and reached widespread popularity in 2007 when the word "va-jay-jay" was used by Oprah Winfrey on her television program. This use inspired the recurring segment, "Oprah's Va-Jay-Jay" on E! Network's The Soup.

Palindromes

MC Paul Barman was the first to rhyme in palindromes^{[citation needed]}. (See "Bleeding Brain Grow" from 2002's Paullelujah!, produced by Prince Paul.) Selected palindromes from Paullelujah! include: "I’m anomie. I, mon ami"; "Ma, origami magi roam"; "Rev. Love Evolver"; "Cormega, Cage, Mr. O.C."; "Kosovo's OK". His longest and most impressive palindrome is the following name check: "Mika, RZA, Evil JD. Nasir is Osiris and J-Live, AZ, Rakim".

Morse Code

Among his many contributions to the art of rhyme, the sport of wordplay, and linguistics, MC Paul Barman was the first to rhyme in Morse code.^{[citation needed]}
