Hello Nasty wasn't as great as those other two, from a top to bottom standpoint. But there are two songs on there, Body Movin' and The Move, that are both some of the best songs they've ever done.

Man I'm going to miss them.

no way, Paul's is really superior from a creative and production stand point. I want to say the album was largely dismissed at the time of release because people didnt "get it", it was way ahead of its time. I didnt buy the album until after Check Yo Head was released which was kinda a mini comeback. Dust Brothers just did an incredible job with the beats and production especially with the sampling. Beasties even though still juvenile with some lyrical content, were much better at their craft from license to ill. they had grown up alot. Plus those cats were experimenting with sh*t not only with hip hop and sound but with drugs which gives the album psychedelic sound along with the influnces of 60s and 70s funk and soul. Pauls to me is a landmark in Hip Hop...paved the way for rock/rap sound but also said...hey hip hop can be
"this"
