fuuuuuqq *clears schedule*

too much shit this weekend: Ware, Angaleena Presley, this thing.

quik's son should.... not be on this album

"bacon's groove" is gorgeous

'bacon's groove' and 'fuck all night' are my favorite on the record

'fuck all night' is a timeless quik anthem imo

i really like the banjo one

love this record

very surprising i know

huh, I forgot Midnight Life was the name of the leaked Fixxers album. I guess he just really liked that title.

forgot that too!

This album makes me so happy.

Quik is so present.

"El's Interlude" (which sounds like a Here, My Dear outtake), "Puffin Da Dragon," and "Pet Semetary" is an awesome sequence.

El's interlude sounds more like an i want you outtake imo which is how the first one sounded on rhythmalism too

omfg this albun

Good Sunday afternoon listening, ain't it?

(not for you, Tim, obv, but give it a try)

Just so bumping throughout.

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:

quik's son should.... not be on this album
― snrub goin up on a tuesday (J0rdan S.)

"bacon's groove" is gorgeous
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson)

"Puffin' Tha Dragon" is one of the lushest beats I've ever heard

cyber gangbangers
internet gimmicks
how did all my fans get replaced with critics?

First rap ALBUM I can fully co-sign in 2014. (First rap mixtape I could ride with was Shyne Coldchain II.)

lol i was def wondering if he meant this as, my fans or criticizing me, or my fans have literally been replaced by music critics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

'fuck all night' is a timeless quik anthem imo

co-sign

aoty confirmed

fuck all night is pretty amazing but my gal has taken a distinct dislike to it
"why is he talking about how big her pussy is? I don't get it"

"Don't Facetime at night / That's Blair Witch" makes me laugh so hard

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.

"Hip-hop needs a banjo."

"A banjo?"

"Yeah. A banjo."

year's best exchange

"You can let yourself out."

Which, out of what? His car? the VIP booth? No idea.

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

What would be your top 10 Quik songs, ilxors? (I'm too lazy to do a poll.)

on which album?

Lol, make it a top 50 then.

I picked three from each album and some other stragglers

http://open.spotify.com/user/theshipment/playlist/2mi07tsTqfj0zYDeO9KofT

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

Read through this too, for sure

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.

1. We Still Party
2. Lets Get Down (tone Tony toni)
3. Youz a Ganxta
4. Pitch In On A Party
5. Tonite
6. Cream In Ya Panties
7. Dollaz + Sense
8. So Good (the Fixxers)
9. Hand In Hand
10. Whateva U Do
11. Safe + Sound
12. Summer Breeze

That's excluding all the incredible Quik's Grooves, Interludes and Reprises

The bit about the Moroccan Blues sample I did not know

http://www.thefader.com/2014/10/29/beat-construction-dj-quik

i think the "palm trees... beautiful" also came from the same source
when 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.

The bit about the Moroccan Blues sample I did not know

crazy

I keep forgetting he dropped an album this year.

it's good!
