rolling 2007 deej thread

― deej, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:32 (6 years ago) Permalink

deej i like most of your assessment but glossing over Way 2 Fonky is a no-no. Jus Lyke Compton bitch! Not to mention maybe the best quik's groove and a bunch of nasty ass shit. He kind of deferred to the 2nd II None ethos over a lot of it(they were already broken by then iirc?) but his beats are all on point pre-Chronic wild hard funk hooks, love that style but it didn't get much of a heyday before g-funk came in.
u also forgot that one single by Juvenile Committee, though the rest of that album was butt-acious.

― tremendoid, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:48 (6 years ago) Permalink

skanless is a must hear. hi-c is like, ignorantly ignorant when it comes to women and his flow comes and goes(i should say his flow always fits his voice, he had the eazy style 'pleasant scream' going on that could be off-putting) but the beats are almost all dynamite with a couple of duds. Got a classic quik-stable posse cut too. Haven't heard his recent stuff.

― tremendoid, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:53 (6 years ago) Permalink

i dont know why i thought skanless was hard to find, amazon's got it for 10 bucks

i agree about way 2 fonky! - its great too. was that the one that chris rock put in his list, or was that safe + sound?

yes, chris rock put way 2 fonky on his list.

as far as AMG, i know 'bitch betta have my money' is considered a classic but i had trouble getting into it when i first checked it out

― deej, Monday, 14 May 2007 22:38 (6 years ago) Permalink

Listening to the 'Quik's Groove II' off way 2 fonky right now, i really wish he'd release a dj shadow/rjd2 style instrumental album like this. Good lord, perfect summer weather music.

― deej, Monday, 14 May 2007 22:55 (6 years ago) Permalink

Wow, I'd never connected the dots between "Let's Get Down" & "Smells Like Teen Spirit", probably because I never heard the later 'til well aftfer the fact. Interesting. I absolutely love "Lets Get Down".

The live album is really good. I wouldn't quite put it above Jay-Z Unplugged, but its pretty damn close. But that's the only Quik thing I have. What would you advise for a second Quik purchase?

― The Reverend, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 01:59 (6 years ago) Permalink

I always loved his song in bust a groove.

― forksclovetofu, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 02:46 (6 years ago) Permalink

Ha deej I almost understand why you mentioned beardo but the Quick I've heard always makes me think of Masters of Work more - relaxed svelte disco. Although actually it's more commercial than that. Like, that "Break Bread" song. He should have produced Will Smith - or did he?

I hadn't heard "Hand In Hand", thanks for posting that.

― Tim F, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 06:23 (6 years ago) Permalink

i have nothing to contribute to this thread except that this new conversational turn towards talking about grownup relaxed svelte disco makes me think of snoop ft nate dogg "crazy", which i was kicking back to today and thinking about how it would totally sound great if they did a remix with peabo bryson and grover washington jr. then i listened to some madlib.

"Chromski A.K. Gattlington"?? ELLI$?

― moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 06:43 (6 years ago) Permalink

also the mobile DJs that spin in the quad fridays during lunch play "can u werk that" almost as much as they play the pack.

― moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 06:47 (6 years ago) Permalink

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.

― r|t|c, Sunday, 20 May 2007 19:59 (6 years ago) Permalink

the upshot of this "bloghouse" / "fidget house" thing is that there is going to be a new wave of street-rap-meets-house over the next year or so, mark my words (cf. "hit me on my beeper")

^^^^^ this is a really good post

― and what, Sunday, 20 May 2007 20:12 (6 years ago) Permalink

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.

― deej, Sunday, 20 May 2007 20:39 (6 years ago) Permalink

that is a terrific quote. haha like, not insomuch as it makes a great case for anything, but just the peaceful quikian zen generousness of it either way!! ilx 3.0 should totally force all posts to have "and that's ok" at the end of them.

― deej, Sunday, 20 May 2007 21:08 (6 years ago) Permalink

you know who else deserves a thread like this? fucking DJ BATTLECAT. it only recently occured to me that i don't think i ever heard a battlecat beat i didnt enjoy, yet how comes i never felt that need to really spend time really thinking about him?? or is that just me?

― r|t|c, Sunday, 20 May 2007 21:09 (6 years ago) Permalink

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.

possibly the best song to skate to of all time. you can just feel it all through your body and you just FLOW across the floor. i used to skate all night long to this song in my dreams as a teen in Bmore, especially in the summer. we lived and breathed skatin'. that's what these kids are missing today. we need more skating and less hanging out at the mall spending money.

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.
