kinda think the thing i love most about this is quik in the middle of the westcoast/morroco storm-in-a-teacup seeing fit to go vaguely whodini horrorcore throughout. zombies! vampires! tales from the crypt! "the voice of great antiquity"! so excellent.

"9xs outta 10" has this mean swagger that really only comes when the only thing you have to fall back on is that you know that you are dope as fuck - you know you aren't going to sell, you know critics aren't going to give a fuck, you know nobody is going to care about the video so you don't do shit but just stand there and rap with your boys and yet it's so singular, so confident, so hard, so nasty, like they can't be bothered to care about the viewer and yet it's such a vibrantly grimy video and song - i'm drunk but shit

Jon Caramanica in the Sunday NY Times:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/24/arts/music/24play.html
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.”
