lol i was def wondering if he meant this as, my fans or criticizing me, or my fans have literally been replaced by music critics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

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.

oh man personal top 25 I guesssss

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
13. 9X Outta 10
14. Fire And Brimstone
15. Jet Set
16. Buck Bounce (8ball & MJG)

20. Down Down Down
21. Pet Semetary

25. I Don’t Wanna Party Wit U

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!

Yeah I've heard it and still...

"Pet Semetary" and "That Nigga'z Crazy" are the ones I've kept. The rest are good but aren't sticking...?

yea the new 1 didn't really do much for me :[

thats a good top 25 by spottie

'fuck all night' is awesome

i like this album a lot more than book of david

had it dropped in summer i wouldn't have stopped playing it i think

this hasn't stuck with me either, i also suspect winter of killing it - it's good when i play it but it's never exactly what i'm craving right now

loved book of david, love this one

what sisi said

Yeah don't give up on this one!

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

"Life Jacket" is the only track that's stuck in my head

I like this more than Book of David too, such a fun album front to back.

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_DLD7OMUns

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.

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.

1. "Fire and Brimstone" David Blake DJ Quik 3:47
2. "Do Today" (featuring Jon B. & BlaKKazz K.K.) Blake, Jonathan Buck, Kelton McDonald DJ Quik 4:21
3. "Ghetto Rendezvous" Blake DJ Quik 3:34
5. "Babylon" (featuring BlaKKazz K.K. & Bizzy Bone) Blake, Bryon Anthony McCane, Jr., McDonald DJ Quik 3:38
6. "Killer Dope" Blake DJ Quik 4:50
9. "Hydromatic" (featuring Gift Reynolds & Jon B.) Blake, Buck, Jim Jacobs DJ Quik 2:57
11. "Nobody" (featuring Suga Free) Blake, Dejuan Walker DJ Quik 3:37
13. "Flow for Sale" (featuring Kurupt) Blake, Ricardo Brown DJ Quik, Dr. Dre 2:54
14. "So Compton" (featuring BlaKKazz K.K.) Blake, McDonald DJ Quik 3:39

^^^^9 songs better than any song on the new album

The new album is some halfassed autopilot shit

Even if that were true, Quik on autopilot is still better than many artists' A-game.

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

man i couldn't agree any less with that assessment -- all the best stuff on the album is the autopilot stuff! when it gets bad is when he tries to do stuff that isn't in wheelhouse and/or lets his son rap

yeah these are v uncharitable views on this record, which is great, i've just had trouble returning to it

new quik song w/ sevyn streeter on the new game album

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vqCOsp9m5s

although he mentions ed hardy so maybe this is an old leftover track

on the other hand he says "im in the pussy doing kegels" so it's worth it

awesome. can't believe game is releasing 18 more tracks

Game sampled my friend (and sometimes ilxor) once!

can u link it?

The Game album is good
