quik & kurupt - HEY PLAYA!

I've never really listened to either of these fellas before. Where do I start? (Stuff that's easy to get hold of preferably.)

dammmmn tim this after simey calling the nuum australia too, you must be having a time of it

a hoy, I'll leave the Kurupt recos up to someone who knows better, but as for Quik, start here:

^^^just leaked

And to think I was listening to Arcade Fire when I opened this thread :S I really need a proper education on west coast hip-hop, I'm loving everything here. I pretty much got as far as being turned off by 2pac at 13 and never really cared for anything that wasn't a Dre or Snoop album.

rhythmalism is still one of my favorite albums ever made -- burned out for awhile but just played the 'we still party' youtube & its all rushing back

now whether or not i be drunk offa gallon moet
i can still make the beat stink like some salmon croquette
go to the hood & get all the kids that i can fit
in the limo take em to the store and buy em some shit
give em a demo of my new shit cuz its the shit
and let em know that they the shit and they can make hits & it aint shit
i gotta keep the cycle goin
baby doll whichever way the wind blowin im goin

I pretty much got as far as being turned off by 2pac at 13

speaking of pac this is a pretty cool quik remix:

also

'late nite' is such an underrated track

AMG's verse kills too

lmao when quik hopes her fav condom flavor is 'nutty peppermint'

Can definitely cosign on Rhythm-al-ism - picked that up this year on deej's reco and have been listening to it heaps and heaps.

oops turning this into the letz talk abt dj quik thread

Well ILM needs to be schooled :)

wutz good w. dj quik

kinda like 'bacon & eggs' more than some of these other tracks -- def one of the best kurupt performances here

Jon Caramanica in the Sunday NY Times:

DJ Quik & Kurupt

“We the West,” scream the T-shirts in the video for “9X Outta 10,” by DJ Quik & Kurupt: a riff on DJ Khaled’s “We the Best” catchphrase but also a statement of presence. After all, the Game notwithstanding, where has Los Angeles hip-hop been for the past decade? But rather than revisit worn-out gangster-rap tropes like the rising rappers Nipsey Hussle, Jay Rock and Clyde Carson, these old-timers — Quik is an underloved G-funk architect and Kurupt a recharged veteran of the early Death Row days — reclaim the scene by looking forward. “9X Outta 10” is a small art piece: cyclical raps by Kurupt, a skeletal, jagged soul arrangement by Quik. It’s one of several vibrant futurist reads on Los Angeles hip-hop on “Blaqkout” (Mad Science/Fontana/Universal), out next month, though the duo is still keeping an eye on those who’ve followed them. “You see me in a sea of people/But I’m not equal,” DJ Quik raps on “Cream.” “I’m the prequel/I’m the subject in the peephole.”

We make it storm
Or make it rain
Make it hurricane
Typhoons
Tycoons
I assume
Delusions
Illusions
Like mushrooms
Get it now or pretty soon
Radiated mushrooms
Radiate entire rooms
Go bananas
Baboons
Just
STOP

Cannonball run em up
Run em up
Runnin up
Summon up
The whole confrontation
Waitin
My patience in achin
I sum it up
Comin up
In such a way
The impatience
Dumb enough to fuck it up
Look
I sum it up
Just
STOP

I BE IN RARE MOTION

haha i love how pretend-experimental his verse is

not sure what i think of that other leaked track tho

lol yeah the badass nonsense of it all only dawned on me once i started typing out, it's great.

...reclaim the scene by looking forward. “9X Outta 10” is a small art piece: cyclical raps by Kurupt, a skeletal, jagged soul arrangement by Quik. It’s one of several vibrant futurist reads...

didnt wanna bring the vybe down earlier but, indubitably dope though it is, i will be real madd if this tune ends up getting all the album shine from undead clipse dickriders.

not to mention antipop consortium, haha

the question is, does the think its better than the asher roth record he was praising a few weeks ago?

clipse fans have the clipse's non existent new album to fret about it, so i wouldnt wory

'whatcha really wanna do': just like with 'hey playa', praise be to quik mastering ladychoruses that make you chuck boring timbaland retro tinged observations out the window. also yknow, good rapps too

the question is, does the think its better than the asher roth record he was praising a few weeks ago?

who is 'the'?

already listened to that quik album recommended upthread this morning and really enjoyed it. and now i'm currently listening to 9x out of 10 for the billionth time in a row.

The is he is caramanica

so am i the only person who likes "hey playa" way more than "9x" or what

Kurupt is way better on 9x but I don't think as songs they're that far off

But kurupt is better than either on 'bacon and eggs'

NEW VIDEOOOOOOOOOOO

this is by far my favorite beat for this album yet

fukkin soul 2 soul sample in the chorus lmao

nationality matters / i like them outta towners who come from the copa cabana / this beat is bananas / it hits your antennas / cuz dj quik is more gifted than santa
