I was on rateyourmusic.com a couple of days ago, lookin for Carried Away.
And this cat commented about how seriously dated the P are, they're stuck in the past and how they just don't deliver
That's just such bullshizzle man, the P just make music, keeping in mind the music they heard back in the days, which they fell in love with.
Timeless, good music that just doesn't get old.

Checked it again.
It's even worse than I thought, this guy really is full of sh!t.

Just looked at those comments... d*mn. Yet again, I respectfully disagree with people who don't really make a solid point. How can both comments even compare PUTS with Dilated? The whole aura of the two bands is different. That's like trying to compare Run DMC to Eric B & Rakim or the Fat Boys with KRS-One.

Yeah, that review was written by a blowhard ass clown. I hate reviews that don't attempt to set the stage for what they are going to say. I don't know if he's a fan or not. At points, he sounds like he may dig the P, but it's not getting him laid by saying so. It's cats like that who give the internet a bad name. I'm going back to Twitter where the retarded comments fly by like fallen leaves.

Yo Deli, I agree with what your saying, Next Step, OST and Question are my favorite P albums in that order, and three of my favorite albums ever, and I don't like Stepfather and FUN as much, so I totally see where your coming from. But on the other hand i absolutely love carried away, i think it's harking back to the first three albums in terms of its style and messiness. But we're all entitled to an opinion, that's what the forum is for right? PEACE

last 3? hmm STEP above both, but fun over carried cuz samebeat puts it over. i love em all diff days. and fridays r always for tha p.

yeah, QUESTION is defly one of my faves of all time, which leads to this...y take a diet pill when u can enjoy AYDS?

Wow.

Damn dudes. I get off the plane and all hell is breaking loose.

All in all, i think a discussion like this is healthy and appropriate for this forum.
I won't participate, as we're talking about, what, like over 140 songs i have made and made beats to most of them over those seven albums. That's a lot of work we are talking about and i was there for all of it, so i don't think one is better than the other.

Couple of points (facts) i can add to this discussion for your ponderance:

1) When OST came out nobody liked it. FACT. We had an album release party for it at a club called elements here in LA and nobody came. FACT. It took YEARS for people to start talking about, oh OST is the sh!t, etc. So what people are talking about the new album right now, means not a whole lot to me, because, you see, all the albums are part of one greater body of work - you guys just can't see the whole picture yet. These are just chapters which will reveal the whole to you all at a later time.

2) The sound on Carried Away is most simiar to Next Step because both came off of tape, although the next step came off of an 8 track tascam cassette porta-studio.

3) Two beats on Carried Away were made in 1998. FACT

4) The Song Carried Away is my favorite song we've ever done.

5) If i had to pick, I would say ?ITFOAA is my least favorite album in terms of sound quality, and that's because it was done on an O1V which i promptly got rid of after i finished the album.

6) I hated Midnight MArauders when i first heard it (i of course now rate it top 5 of all time)

7) Some people say we're "to old school" some people say we're "not old school enough" - as far as i can tell, we're mike and chris and it's the same old sh!t.

I'm not making an argument for or against Carried Away, i'm just saying - it's cool to have a favorite album, maybe it takes you to a certain place because of good memories or you like the melodies, but to us it's all apart of one body of work - one that, at least in my opinion, is about as consistent as yall could expect us to be across TWO DECADES.

Bonus beat: still sampling the rare, sh!t, probably the rarest records of my career. The originals to songs like Much TO Much and My Boy D are impossible records, trust me.

PS - I have songs that I'm impressed by (like fine wine) and songs that I just get a charge from (like Red Bull, tho I never drink that sh*t)... My Boy D and Much Too Much are my Red Bulls right now... they took the mantle from Step Bacc...

To know that you used über-rare beats makes me sorta feel like someone poured some wine in my Red Bull... gonna have to check them out again tomorrow morning.
