wutz good w. dj quik

'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

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

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

off of King Tee's aftermath record that got delayed for years. this is basically the precursor to "Medley for a V"

the shift at 2.11 is lovely

Yeah weird salsa breakdown in the middle of a gfunk song

"So, his celebrity supersedes his talent right now? Yes. Come on, he's a Kardashian now, what the fuck. What he gonna do to me? Beat me up? It's Kanye. See, this is a challenge. This ain't a diss, it's just a challenge. Make your best music, because fans aren't stupid. They're just not."

He sure comes off a lot more reasonable in that interview than on twitter

yeah he's all over the place on social media.

cool to hear him talk a bit about production, Rosecrantz EP sounds great, and come to think of it the sound quality is probably part of what drew me to Quik

def

is there perhaps some history of quik not getting proper acknowledgement of contributions? his phrasing re "In Da Club" percussion kinda seems like it:

Right. They don't even know why they like that song "In Da Club" by 50 Cent. They just know that they've heard it more than any other song, and it never gets old somehow. Well, it's because I helped Dr. Dre with the drums. I gave him those claps, and that kick. He acknowledges that now. I used to say for years, "You guys don't understand! I gave Dr. Dre those drum sounds!" "Yeah, yeah, okay David." And now when I go into the studio with Dre, he'll tell his people. And I'm like, Dre, that right there is worth more than any advance you could have ever paid me, any royalty or publishing. Acknowledgment like that from you? I'm good.

i've always thought that beat was very quik-esque!

He's also why all eyez on me sounds so great. Don't think he got full credit for that alb

Didn't know he did stuff on AEOM besides "hearts of men"
