Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
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 fulfil 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 emphasises neck-breaking beats and high-calibre 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

People Under The Stairs are the kind of hip-hop act who are very difficult to be introduced to as they are so underground. You'd never hear them on any radio station let alone on TV. The only way you could be introduced to them is if you came across them by luck on the internet, or if someone you knew owns a cd. They are also the kind of act who when you first listen to them, you think it's good... but the more you listen to it, the better it gets! As they do in this album, PUTS use old funky jazzy samples to produce old skool style hip-hop tunes in which they rap positive rhymes from smoking blunts to getting laid (which is a breath of fresh air when all you hear nowerdays is rappers rhyming about guns, money and chrome rims)! This album is perfect for chilling out or cruising to, and you can literally go through the whole album without skipping a single track. I guarantee you if you like hip-hop, you will like PUTS as it is actually impossible to dislike this album (I am yet to come across anyone who doesn't like it). Although I would give all 4 PUTS albums 5*, my opinion is that Question is the best, so if you are new to PUTS, get this album.

The second, and hopefully not last, album from a dope as hell band! They have created another dope album mixing cut's from all over with one of the best rapper's around,''Thes One'' Mixing up the fat tune's that show all angle's of hiphop is the turntablist ''Double K''. You must buy this album for ''give love a chance'' and ''Get Drunk'' alone!, but the other beat's are still fat as a greece discus thrower! This album is another master class layed down by P.U.T.S and is a do with, than a do without! Buy it quick! so you can buy the first album quicker if you do not alredy have it! It's so worth it.

This like the first lp from the PUTS boys provides an original mix of 70s funk and early 90s hip hop. This goes together perfectly,providing you with 22 great tracks. Songs like 'Youth Explosion' and 'July 3rd'are worth buying it a lone. Buy this, and buy 'the next step' (the first offering by the duo)its packed with quality songs with that original sound!

Well worth it if you're into jazzy hiphop
'Questions' is a perfect continuation from `The Next Step'; the beats are still laced with funk and jazz samples, if a little darker in their construction (but still nowhere near... Read more

I give this record five stars, not because it's original, not because it's groundbreaking, not because of the lyrical content (OK but no Rakim or Pharaohe Monch). Read more

Dope rhymes, beats and cuts
This album has a definite fresh sounding vibe that is well worth a listen for the price. Similar to A Tribe Called Quest but it includes their own PUTS style. Read more
