Fuck it...
I thought it was weak..
Considering Quik's talent and catalogue this was disappointing.. the lyrics were bland, NOT personal or deep.. him rhyming "benevolent" and "relevant" was on some simple shit... the beats dragged too..
"Trauma" shit all over this....
On a good note, the jams with Cube, Suga Free & Kurupt were dope.. but for the most part it was a contrived, almost-forced, west coast album..
And doesn't BlaKKazz KK sound A LOT like AMG?
Fuck is that?

You know thats dude from 2nd II none dont you?
@EXPLicit cop this album or download a cd quality version burn it listen to it in the whip or system and soak it in this shit is crisp as hell and one his best albums since early 00s. this shit groovin he killed it with the beats and he flowing. This album gotta grow on u its summertime music.
i remember when rhytmlism first dropped mass people said it was soft & weak then after a while they was callin it a classic. Quik is ahead of his time
it was kind of strange to me at first listen cause that first song just really throw you off.those double snares and off timing kicks isnt what people want from quik.they want that "Nobody" sound all the way through the album. i just dont get why he dont give his core fans what they want.the quality is their and i like the album but i was hoping he said fuck mainstream and just made a whole old school dj quik sounding "way 2 funky/born and raised in compton 2k" type album.
I did bump it.. I sat and listened to the whole thing.. (no skipping) then I took it to the whip and bumped it.. The jam with Ice Cube and "Babylon" with Bizzy are my favorites.. and Kurupt spits a killer flow on "Flow For Sale".. I'm not saying I hate it entirely.. just disappointed...
My complaint is that the beats themselves, fail in comparison to his last album and the ones before it.. I agree that there are worse Quik joints than this.. but I listened to the whole thing and it was just missing something.. it didn't have a definitive Quik classic like the other ones had..
Even playing "Trauma" when you heard the joint with Jodeci it was over.. or on "Rhythm-al-ism" where you had TONS of classics.. As you stated before, you have to soak it in..
But if an album is that dope, you don't HAVE TO soak it in.. the joints are just there...
Oh.. and I didn't know that was the dude from 2nd II None.. got me on that.. but homie STILL sounds a lot like AMG.. just sayin'..

this is a good cd to throw on during a bbq out at the park. i even listened to this with my Dr Dre headphones! and i still wasnt getting into it. i guess its alright but for Dj Quik "a legendary total packaged musician" its a bigg let down to me.
he should stop fucking around and give us them old kits he was using back then. safe & sound, Rhythm-al-ism, and balance & options. where them bass lines at?
