quik & kurupt - HEY PLAYA!

I would say I wish quik rapped on it, but why fuck with what you got when it's this good

I feel like when I first heard "Grindin'"

cause it sounds just like grindin? sweet beat rapping needs a little pop intensity tho

imo the rapping on this is the shit & this track is one of the best out right now

I love how Kurupt's rap is so structured, but in a v. unorthadox way

This is like top three of the year for me.

"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

also the production is saturn's rings bonkers

quik beats make you feel stoned even when you aren't

i want a "I BE IN RARE MOTION" tattoo

people are really trying to fuck with this? shit

FOURTEEN 350s
AROUND THE CLOCK POP AROUND THE BLOCK
AROUND THE WHOLE CIRCUMFERENCE
IN ABUNDANCE FEAR LIKE TED BUNDY

BOUNCE BACK LIKE BUNGEES

THROWN AWAY LIKE SPONGEES

are arabic/rap blends coming back in style again? i sure hope so.

^^^just leaked

And to think I was listening to Arcade Fire when I opened this thread :S I really need a proper education on west coast hip-hop, I'm loving everything here. I pretty much got as far as being turned off by 2pac at 13 and never really cared for anything that wasn't a Dre or Snoop album.

rhythmalism is still one of my favorite albums ever made -- burned out for awhile but just played the 'we still party' youtube & its all rushing back

now whether or not i be drunk offa gallon moet
i can still make the beat stink like some salmon croquette
go to the hood & get all the kids that i can fit
in the limo take em to the store and buy em some shit
give em a demo of my new shit cuz its the shit
and let em know that they the shit and they can make hits & it aint shit
i gotta keep the cycle goin
baby doll whichever way the wind blowin im goin

I pretty much got as far as being turned off by 2pac at 13

also

'late nite' is such an underrated track

AMG's verse kills too

lmao when quik hopes her fav condom flavor is 'nutty peppermint'

Can definitely cosign on Rhythm-al-ism - picked that up this year on deej's reco and have been listening to it heaps and heaps.

oops turning this into the letz talk abt dj quik thread

Well ILM needs to be schooled :)

wutz good w. dj quik

kinda like 'bacon & eggs' more than some of these other tracks -- def one of the best kurupt performances here

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.”

We make it storm

Typhoons

Get it now or pretty soon
Radiated mushrooms
Radiate entire rooms
Go bananas
Baboons
Just
STOP

Cannonball run em up
Run em up
Runnin up
Summon up
The whole confrontation
Waitin
My patience in achin
I sum it up
Comin up
In such a way
The impatience
Dumb enough to fuck it up
Look
I sum it up
Just
STOP

I BE IN RARE MOTION

haha i love how pretend-experimental his verse is

not sure what i think of that other leaked track tho

lol yeah the badass nonsense of it all only dawned on me once i started typing out, it's great.

...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...

didnt wanna bring the vybe down earlier but, indubitably dope though it is, i will be real madd if this tune ends up getting all the album shine from undead clipse dickriders.

not to mention antipop consortium, haha

the question is, does the think its better than the asher roth record he was praising a few weeks ago?

clipse fans have the clipse's non existent new album to fret about it, so i wouldnt wory

'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

Id check up on Trauma before Way 2 Fonky, and I'd check out Street Gospel by Suga Free before either.

And Safe & Sound! I shouldn't answer these kind of things cos I get all emotional and just end up like GET IT ALL MAN JUST DO IT.

But for real.

i love blaqkout and book of david to death and yet STILL haven't bothered going through quik's back catalogue. really must do that.

'cream n ya panties' sounds amazing on a good car sound system

Gargantuan, cannon cocker BLAKA BLAKA BLAKA

Love when Quik comes in on 9x Outta 10 matching Kurupt for 1.5 bars of his 3.5.
