The original version of “The Gas Face” was recorded on 4-track cassette tape and started out as mistake. Paul wanted to change the beat after he realized the pattern wasn’t what he wanted but MC Serch and Pete Nice convinced him to keep it. The song was recorded on the 4th of July.

According to Paul, he originally proposed the idea for A Prince Among Thieves to Russell Simmons in the early 1990s but Simmons was not interested. While describing his goals for the album in an interview he said, “I wanted to make a movie on wax. I wanted to make an adults’ kid album.” To prepare for the album he watched many B movies and tried to use scenes from various films as inspiration. In addition to the extensive list of rappers on the album, Paul reached out to Vanilla Ice to perform on “Handle Your Time” with Sadat X and Xzibit. He also reached out to The Notorious B.I.G. about playing a role on the album and was supposed to meet up with him the night he was murdered.
