i'm about three listens in and i did the first while jogging. it's good; I'm working my way into the finer points, but immediately i completely agree that:

lol i was def wondering if he meant this as, my fans or criticizing me, or my fans have literally been replaced by music critics

in my experience recommending Quik the latter

I have similar complaints about a couple of dick references, notably in "That Nigger's Crazy," but in that one at least he's playing to the expectations of his detractors.

It took me quite some time to get to track three because I couldn't stop playing the banjo one.

I picked three from each album and some other stragglers

didn't put too much into it but you can get a good feel for him based on that list.

ha, i'm familiar with most of it - but curious about ypur rankings, do thanks for the spotify link - there's so much good stuff but a lot of it is approximately equal imo. Rhytmalism is my favorite though.

i think the "palm trees... beautiful" also came from the same sourcewhen that anecdote first came out, i was pretty floored that he used found footage to such amazing effect. it's a mark of great artistry.

Shine is the only song on there that doesn't sound like it belongs on a Quik album.

That's crazy talk imo...
What's the (replayed) sample on "Pet Semetary"? It seems super obvious and on the tip of my tongue, I feel like Just Blaze(?) used the actual sample before

Yeah it's loads better than the Book of David which was totally on it when it hit but had a few mediocre beats and this kind of sourness to some of the tracks. This one is just terrific throughout.
― Matt DC, Friday, 12 December 2014 11:25 (nine years ago) link
oh, even more obvious than I was thinking.
half the fun of Book of David was how it determinedly bounced back and forth from goodtimes party jams (which were WAY WAY BETTER than the ones on this album) to Quik at his most prissy and peevish. The new album is some halfassed autopilot shit.

Even if that were true, Quik on autopilot is still better than many artists' A-game.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 13 December 2014 10:53 (nine years ago) link
agree with rev, only trax that really stick off this are "life jacket" and "that getter" - none of it's bad as such but it's when you go back to the book of david that you really realise the gulf in quality
