i'm coming around on can u werk that, i'd like to know what rtc was gonna complain about now! its def a song that gets better when hammered thru repetition.
Tim, I think you'd really like the Rhythmalism album if you haven't heard it.
yeah i mean beardo only mentioned cuz that was the context in which moonship was talking about grown folks disco. a similar point of comparison, more locally for me, would be steppin. Sort of the grown 'n' sexy dance music vs. the kids ghetto house/ rap music.
but yeah MAW is an interesting comparison point actually, except i hear more INTENT in MAW's disco to be 'taking it wayyyy back.'
I was talking about this in some other thread, how i wish dudes would make more dance/hip-hop blends - ethan started talking about the blade 2 soundtrack as usual but i'm thinking more like a lot of what Quik does - beats up in the 112 bmp area, rappers who sound comfortable over what is essentially house music.
Tim have you heard Suga Free's "Pimpin in the Year 3000"?
I finally copped Skanless, the Hi-C album, and yeah tremendoid was right its pretty amazing...I like old school Hi-C way more than the modern incarnation, the Eazy E comparison is on point.
― deej, Sunday, 20 May 2007 19:21 (6 years ago) Permalink
to elaborate on the dance/hip-hop blends comment - it seems like a lot of the 'real dance' dudes are 'real rap'-phobic, passing on a lot of great shit that would probably fit really well in dance sets; the only way you can hear something vaguely combining the two is trashy post-hollertronix djs who just mash up, like, justice and lil jon
― deej, Sunday, 20 May 2007 19:29 (6 years ago) Permalink
ha yeah, i'm still whatevs about it but as soon as i wrote that i did think to myself "bet this'll turn out to be one of those underwhelming nothing tunes that'll rule the world in 6 months" a la jim jones or mims etc, and then vahid only made me surer.
saying that tho, in terms of those kinda tunes you only get a feel of that sort of intoxicating social energy in a v shitty fake 2nd hand way in england, if at all, and i'm not about to wear out the mp3 play button desperately failing to recreate that. ldn has enough dsouth hipster dickheads bumping gucci mane or whatever as it is.
anyway fucking hell man if it says quik on the record i'm expecting to hear quik! someone else can be the fixxers.

the story behind 'werk that':
What do you feel is wrong with music?QUIK: Right now I think it's just away from the growth of music. It sounds like it's snatch and grab. Coming up with a ]catchy hook and an 808 beat and people keep doing the same thing over and over and over again. And that's OK.

Yeah, sometimes I listen to current hip house revivalism - "Touch Your Toes" or whatever - and wonder why its supporters don't just listen to uptempo hip hop and R&B (Mya's "Free" alone is a better urban/dance fusion than anything else any of us listened to this week). But kudos to Van Helden I guess for not using a corny rapper.
That said (incl. the bit about corniness) Deej you might like Studio R ft. Capitol A - "A & R (Llorca Remix)".
I'll track down your recommendation.

its great but imo probably not the best at translating what makes his stuff 'work' -- as w/ a lot of rap producers his collaborative stuff is part of the story too -- plus his albums (and the quikstrumentals, the fake reggae joints, plus the fact that his early career sounds so diff from his later stuff, and bcuz imo Trauma is one of his best records and that was post 'best-of') most ppl are better off getting a big picture view of his catalog --

Great thread, nice takeover deej, you’ve basically channeled most of my thoughts on Quik.
I got Rhythm-al-ism at a Sam Goody after reading the review in The Source in 98. iirc it got 4 of 5 mics, which mattered back then or something. I bought that album + Twista & the Speedknot Mobstaz 'Mobstability" at the same time and those two albums basically sound-tracked my junior/senior years of high school.
Rhythm-al-ism is a perfect album, a complete joy to listen to. As reverend stated; "listening to Rhythm-al-ism on headphones was a revelation and a half." This is what’s given it such a long shelf life imo. The songs are immediate (especially the front end), which hooked me from day one, but as I aged and began to appreciate the more intricate qualities of music production/sound is when this album really opened up to me. Sitting just ahead of Voodoo and Superunknown; it’s the most pure sounding album I’ve ever owned, I still use it test new headphones/speakers. Listen to We Still Party, there’s like 25+ layers in there, all blended seamlessly. The point xpost about Organized Noize is an interesting one, I’ve always thought their strength is in the way they layer their beats similarly to Quik. It lends well to repeat listens, there’s always something new to discover and appreciate.
Some highlights:The bass-lines. El Debarges fluttering vocals throughout Hand in HandEvery single one of AMG’s verses. The poignancy and triumph of Youz A Ganxta. The random reggae smokers ballad. The family feel to the whole affair epitomized by the tracks Medley For A “V” and Get 2getha Again. The humor/story-telling on I Useta Know Her.The stellar PSA style intro.The sexy smoov of the Whatever U Do –Thinking ‘Bout U – El’s Interlude trifectaThe album coverThe Eddie Hazel-esque guitar work on the final track (Medley For a “V” Reprise)
As a teen I would usually pass over tracks like Whatever U Do, but now I love it. Specifically the second half when the vocals drop out for a while and we’re left with this smooth jazz cut slathered with aural textures (flute!), then El Debarge comes back in to add the perfect touch and bring the track home.
I’ve followed everything he’s done for some time and he ‘s really the only musician I stan for. I could probably go on about all his albums like this, but Rhythm-al-ism is truly special to me, my love for the music plus all the memories tied to it make it such.
Tldr. Probably shoulda chopped that up into 20 posts like deej.

Nah, s'good post. I've been playing Rhythm-al-ism non-stop since people were enthusing about it in the rap poll thread. You've pretty much nailed it there, but yeah it's so enjoyable how there's always something new to pick up on with every listen. I'll definitely be voting for it now.

From today's Jason Collins piece:
I had a happy childhood in the suburbs of L.A. My parents instilled in us an appreciation of history, art and, most important, Motown. Jarron and I weren't allowed to listen to rap until we were 12. After our birthday I dashed to Target and bought DJ Quik's album Quik Is the Name. I memorized every line.
