Jon Caramanica in the Sunday NY Times:

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.”

'whatcha really wanna do': just like with 'hey playa', praise be to quik mastering ladychoruses that make you chuck boring timbaland retro tinged observations out the window. also yknow, good rapps too

so am i the only person who likes "hey playa" way more than "9x" or what
― some dude, Monday, 25 May 2009 19:36 (fifteen years ago) link
Kurupt is way better on 9x but I don't think as songs they're that far off
― autogucci cru (deej), Monday, 25 May 2009 21:02 (fifteen years ago) link
But kurupt is better than either on 'bacon and eggs'

what the hell is quik on about on "hey playa!"? I swear his verses have zilch to do with anything else in the song.. like kurupt gets it, but quik is all like "I'm going to rap about damnation!"
nb: song is prob all the better for this dissonance
― The Reverend, Friday, 5 June 2009 06:13 (fourteen years ago) link
other great thing about "hey playa!": what goes with morrocan blues? why of course drunk new orleans horns shit makes perfect sense
