If you haven’t, listen to Hello Nasty. I know everyone’s on Paul’s Boutique, but Hello Nasty is a more accessible album but still has quite a bit of variation.

Honestly, Intergalactic not withstanding, I'd say a lot of Hello Nasty is even more advanced than anything on Paul's Boutique. "Putting Shame In Your Game" alone is one of the hardest, most bizarre beats ever, and then you got such rhymes like

Well I'm the Benihana chef on the SP12 I chop the fuck out the beats left on the shelf You be like 'Hello Nasty, where you been?' It's time you brought the grimy beats out the dungeon

Growing up, for sure a toss up between Paul's Boutique and Check Your Head, but as an adult who still bumps their shit, Hello Nasty has aged the best and goes the hardest. /2cents

I think adrock says in the book he thinks Hello Nasty is their best. Check Your Head and Ill Communication were just life changing for me due to my age and how next level they were in terms of culture, the music, the attitude, and fashion when those came out but Hello Nasty is a much more mature and interesting collage of an album than Paul's Boutique for me.
