this blows...this is what happens when im outta town for a few days...i wish i had the time to read the whole thing, but to answer the question, its like the question "whats ur favorite movie?" or "whos ur favorite sports player?" or "whos the best baseball player?"...there are just too many fucking tight albums to pick just one, and this new quinn album, while it will be a classic, is not the single best bay album, and if anyone says it is, they havent heard shit out of the bay area.

damm alkohol i agree...This is a competitive game.....I think this is Quinn's best material to date. His style has been mastered to a perfect Quinn flow. People who say he was harder back then can't recognize growth as an mc. He was hard then.... a bit more angry on the mic..but that was when niggas spit angry always he was 17 then. We was all angry niggas at 17. My nigga has grown and got other things on his mind. Life changes and flow and style progress with the person. One of the best cd's outa of the bay in a long time. Glad it was quinn. Everyone has been waiting for this one for so long. Wanting to hear the niggas voice on back to back tracks. me myself..I was getting tired of all the same bay shit...40's tight as shit..one of the best in the world..but is that all we had to look forward to 2ice a year in the bay is wait for 40's new shit. New niggas don't get a good chance out here..so quinn was in the best position to do so. He did his shit too. So I think people in the bay expect too much always from a human being..and alot of people out here just will never be satisfied with anything out of any coast. But ask them can they do better?

We need to start all making our spaces as artist in the bay. Like playing your part on a hoop team or whatever. Look at new york back in the day. You had Nas-lyricist, Biggie-Mob/party lyricist. wutang...ect.. all them got they own sound and spot. there own role they play from their coast as a rapper. That's what we need to be thinking about. Recognizing what roles a Quinn, a 40, a keak, a hiero, a frontline, a Celski, an Alkohol bring to the table. There is difference in all artist i've just mentioned. We need to not make as many comparisons to each other and to other bay albums. Lets start fresh. I think the title of the tread brung alot out of people in the forum that didn't need to be put out there at this time. The cats album just dropped and it will get more shine..this is the beggining...and that's here in the bay. What happens when all other coasts and more promotion and distributions gets put into this Quinn album and what happens if it is well recieved by many other states and he actually blows up bigbig...niggas would still be saying they ain;t feeling it? or will they be like yeah nigga..Quinn shit's hot as shit? He from the Bay. Alot of niggas make artists wanna move away from this place. And go to a place where they will love your shit to death no matter what.

I read earlier that people didnt think this album had some bay area flavor to it. Maybe Im trippin but I thought "Northern California," "The Hardway" "The Pop Off" "Lavishness" "Real Playaz" "Sav Boyz" "What You Made Me Do" and "Gangsta Touch" all seemed to have some bay area flavored beats. I think just cause and artist wants to expand and do different beats and different flows doesnt mean he lost it or his shit is wack, a lot of people DISS anything new because it aint what they like, like theres only one style of bay area music and only one flow Quinn should stick with. Quinn kept his hard spit style on "The Hardway" and "Deep End" and "High Light" but experimented with a slower flow on songs like "Thugs." He did the gangsta shit on "Mask Cracked" and "Goin all Out," while he did the shit for the hoes on "Butterfly" and "Lavishness" and the family orienented and religious shit on "Greatness" and "Daddy song."

I think this album is Quinns most well rounded yet. "Live N Direct" was heated but I feel like Quinns flow was a little too undeveloped compared to where he went on his next albums. "The Hustle Continues" was also heated but I feel like some of the beats seem outdated now and theres quite a few songs I skip toward the end of the album. Explosive Mode was nice all around but I think Quinn is a better rapper than Mess, and its not really a solo. "The Mighty Quinn" was very underrated and didnt get much attention. I liked it a lot but felt that it seemed like Quinn was doin a lot of songs just for the radio appeal and wasnt really spittin about the street shit that made him more popular. Now hes a more polished MC, the beats slam all the way through (regardless of being a fan of the 'chipmonk' style or other east coast styles you have to give Tone Capone PROPS for those beats) and hes rappin about damn near everything. Not just that, but IMO I think the only song that seemed made for the radio was Butterfly, and the radio has been pickin up other tracks on its own. Everyone I talked to in person was feelin this, when Im out of town I had people stoppin me at parties and askin "whose cd is this" and yesterday someone asked me to pull over at a light so they could write down the name of the cd. I think this is a great cd and to call it "wack" is definitely an insult to Quinn.

Click to expand...
that says it all right there! this cd is a great cd, no doubt about it.

to the people that aint feelin it: since there's 18 full songs, which ones did u not like??? i find it hard to believe that yall aint feelin: northern cali, going all out, the hard way, butterfly, THE POP OFF, mask cracked, lavishness, number 13, i could say the whole album but those are my favorite songs. to the ones not feelin it: keep listening to psycho loc or some no name dude that supposadely has talent, or keep thinking that your own shit is hotter than quinn or messy or 40 or frontline.
