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

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

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)

lol i was def wondering if he meant this as, my fans or criticizing me, or my fans have literally been replaced by music critics
― deej loaf (D-40), Monday, 20 October 2014 00:14 (nine years ago) link
in my experience recommending Quik the latter

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."

"You can let yourself out."
Which, out of what? His car? the VIP booth? No idea.
― RAP GAME SHANI DAVIS (Raymond Cummings), Tuesday, 21 October 2014 00:51 (nine years ago) link
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.)
― longneck, Sunday, 23 November 2014 20:00 (nine years ago) link
on which album?
― no but seriously im not a dick like that (Spottie), Monday, 24 November 2014 02:34 (nine years ago) link
Lol, make it a top 50 then.
― longneck, Monday, 24 November 2014 09:52 (nine years ago) link
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.

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.

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

'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
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Wednesday, 3 December 2014 16:14 (nine years ago) link
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

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