Basically, If your not into good hip-hop like Ugly Duckling, Pharcyde, Lewis Parker etc., Than you shouldn't really buy this...Stick to Nelly, 50 Cent and Eminem. But if your like me and you got good taste, BUY THIS CD, WITHOUT HESITATION.

P.S: The Next Step, O.S.T and Or Stay Tuned are all classics as well.

'93 hip-hop + '73 funk= a beautiful lp
Two years after the not particularly well distributed "The Next Step" LP, Thes One and Double K give it another try, hoping that people catch on to their vibe. Their first album is my favorite hip hop album of all time, which points to the fact that I like their style. Aside from "Suite for Creeper" every song on this full length lp follows their recipe for hip hop, positive messages portrayed through mellow beats. Their soothing sound is a nice change from the rough mainstream hiphop of DMX and Juvenile, just to name a few. Dont get me wrong, PUTS doesnt speak the knowledge of Common or have the wide appeal of Eminem, but they know how to reminisce about the golden age of hip hop in funk,and put it all in a nice album. A few standout tracks: Youth Explosion-addictive beat, fun Sterns to Western- Kid Lex isnt that great,but a funny song (listen to the chorus) Code Check-mellow guitar, nice sampling Blowin Wax-in your face rapping, impressive Yehaw Partystyles-a fun song E Business-mellow ATCQ-esque beat July 3rd- Think of the 4th of july and the beat matches that feeling We'll be there-beatiful positivity

Turn off the lights, close your eyes, put on the headphones, and chill out. A soothing musical work of art.

If u gots mad love for the ol' skool game, buy this, fool.
Words can't describe how utterly dope this album is. Mad beats, rhymes, funk. All you want to do while listening is put your right arm in the air and wave it like you just don't care. Head bobbing like no body's bizness, lips puckered, neck weaving, knees bouncing. Damn, I haven't felt like this since '86. Why PUTS ain't blown up huge makes no sense. These cats kick some crazy joints, spitting lyrics and keepin' it real. BUY THIS ALBUM. Probably the best pure hip hop album I have bought in 20 years.

hip hop heads galore
PUTS is quality gold ish! everytime i introduce cats to the PUTS sound, they scoop up every album they have. hey its only 3 but dang man, its all instant vintage! they remind me of the old school liks, they talked ish, and had some of the most classic one liners. i mean, thesse dudes dont care, and they put out what they like and on top of that diss everyone doin ish for money and fame. if i ever hear PUTS at a party its on! if i ever hear PUTS downtown in some yuppy bar that plays b2k and calls it hip hop--ITS ON!! if i ever hear PUTS bumpin loud ina NSX--ITS ON!! pull out ur duckets and scoop question in the form, its definately better then next step and OST. but those are all quality too... this whole album is tight, and i gaurantee u'll like it and the rest of PUTS ish. oh yeah, scoop my man MOKA ONLY. hes on the whole contemporary rap vibe. pick up LIME GREEN, and his new joint FLOOD--if u can find it you new wave freak!

detectives on the beat, every mission complete.

Greatest Hip Hop album I've listened to
These guys are better than the old school Emcees. This album is the edifice of everything good in Hip Hop. I'm glad these guys could stay real and not produce brain dead MTV Rap. This should go in the Hip Hop Hall of Fame.

Tracks like "E Business" and The Cat bring the old school style like nothing of today. Preemo album I say.
On People Under the Stairs' sophomore album, after 1999's The Next Step, debut producer and MC Thes One promises in the liner notes, "We'll keep making that '93-style hip-hop with that '73-style funk till 2033." Trying to fulfill that guarantee, on Question in the Form of an Answer PUTS digs up obscure funk loops and breaks, staying true to an underground tradition that emphasizes neck-breaking beats and high-caliber lyricism. The formula is transparent at times, perhaps a little too obvious, but it's hard not to like their new-school influence, whether in the form of puff-chested braggadocio ("Yehaw Partystyles") or superfunky spy fantasies ("Suite for Creeper"). --Oliver Wang
