I think there's gonna be a fight...
SONIC
In all honesty. I can get down with a track or 2 but overall?
Blah.
cosign.
I celebrate their entire catalog.
Some of my fave cuts:
THE DIG.

Mid-City Fiesta
The Next Step II
San Francisco Knights
July 3rd
Blowin Wax
Get Ready
I'm not starting it, and maybe it's too early in the morning here in the states for it to jump off, but there always seems to be a fight on this board whenever PUTS is mentioned.
I got no problem with them as a group or Thes, in fact I have an abnormally large number of PUTS records that I enjoy and which have escaped many, many cuts in my hip hop collection.
Just trying to be cute and use my "beef ESP" with the warning.
Deep beats and deep crates,

"Thes One put the arthritis in your tone arm"
Simple drum loops. NOt bad, but nothing to write home about.
Right man. Sure your shit's the hottness.
oh god man. NOt one of those guys. So,let me get this straight.
Since I do not produce, I cannot have an opinion about the group that you dickride?
So, since i make NO music, I can never express an opinion on any music?
SInce i do not make films I can not express an opinion on any movies?
since i do not write novels I can not express or have opinions on books?
I am a technical administrator for a group of surgeons. So, the only thing I am qualified to form opinions on are other Technical administrators job performances.
Thank you. I was lookin pretty dumb there.
I like how you cant counter what I said other than that shallow response.
P to the U got grooves for days
doc you got some suspect taste
id be curious to know what isnt "blah" to you
Basically just Thes one is the producer. Double K does some as well. Yes soem of the beats are nice.
check out www.tresrecords.com . that is their new label or soon to be new label. Thes runs it and produces a lot of the groups on there. PUTS has an album coming out soon called "Stepfather"
But MCdoom..like your shits is any better.
Their beats are actually far more complex than you make them out to be. Often, fine auditory nuances are lost on the untrained/unrefined ear.
Definitely.
I've come across some of the originals now and again and realized how creative PUTS went with them.
I know what you are saying. But, what I mean is that they dont do anything TOO GREAT with that. It isnt anything where you go "OH SHIT LISTEN TO HOW THEY FLIPPED THAT BREAK! OH MY GOD" its more like "Oh yeah, i see what they did there"
Plus the content of their digs constantly stand out from the crowd. I think they come a little more unique than most in terms of their choice of styles and samples.
Spent an evening with them once. they were nice.
Barely, but......
AY YO!
Haha... damn doc. You got called out for having "suspect taste."
Anyway, I tried to like these guys but yes they are boring and bland.
hahah damn. I missed that one. That shit is great.
But yo AI, Looks like you got some suspect taste as well then!
In this case my taste is GUILTY AS SIN.
Hip-hop is dead.

So let me address it. It would be rather futile to list what is not blah to me. A lot of things. Do you want my none blah list of all time, my current top 5 non blah singles? current top 5 no blah albums?
Come on man. Just cuase i express an opinion doesnt mean i have to start listing shit to back it up. I didnt ask anyone to defend their like of the PUTS.
Hip Hop post Scroll down for my post. It will show a few things im feelin right now. Nothing to exciting. just a few things.
Non-Blah? DIPSET!
I like 'em. OST was probally one of my fav. albums in the past few years. When I listen to one of thur records or check out a new release I know what exactly what I'm going to get (no club bangers , next level production or some off-kilter blip-hop mess) just real straight forward cali rap music. I can understand though why some people think they can be bland or repetive, they aren't the most amazing rappers and they aren't really rapping on a wide range of topics, but that's pretty much ALL of rap music.
Doc Bizzle:
You wheren't feeling the production Thes did for your boys? That "kick clap" beat was ridiculous.
Yeah man that was a banger. They do have their bangers.
"Hang Loose"
"5-Day trippin"
A few off of Question in the form of an answer.
But,like you said, gets boring and repetitive.
But who are the 5 Deez? MF Doom? Count Bass D? What's a Fat Jon beat?, and what's an ample soul physician anyways? J Rawls?, nah never heard of him. Gift of Gab, nah that dude can't flo. And let's be as honest as a hater can get, this Madlib dude just sucks, in fact everything Stones Throw related is mad suspect. I mean, shit, who's this old timer Pete Rock? When's this guy going to give it up, when he's collecting social security? Molemen? Is that a cartoon? Daedelus? That's straight looped! Wu Tang Clan? Sorry, I don't like Chinese food. J Live? Yea, right. Monster Island Czars? Rjd2? Come again?
