4.0 out of 5 stars Quik Does it One Mo Gin', May 19, 2000

DJ Quik seems to get better and better with each album. I was skeptical since this album came out so soon apart from Rhythmalism, however, it was nice to know that Quik didn't let his fans down. I'm sure most Quik fans love this album, and for good reason, this cat's production skills are as tight as they come. Am I the only one, or would we all have bought this album just for its instrumental tracks. Hanging around the likes of Saddiq, and El DeBarge have helped Quik develop a growing and unique style that sets him apart in WC hip hop not only as a rapper, but as one of the best producers hip hop has ever seen. I'd love to see Quik expand into other genres of music as it is evident that even he has grown up and grown tired of the "gangsta era." Over the years Quik has evolved from a "DJ" into a full fledged "musician." If you have followed Quik from the beginning, you understand what I am talking about, if you haven't followed Quik, I suggest you get this album so you'll know waaaasssuuuppp!

Peace~

5.0 out of 5 stars GOTTA LOVE THE "QUIKSTER"!, May 17, 2000

I can see it now. Hanging out in the heat of summer with "Roger's Groove" eminating. Quik's delving into his true confidence with this cd. His combination of real music, and naturalistic, previously unexperienced grooves combined with rap, has been elevated to another level (done with imagination and vision I haven't experienced since Rhythmalism) and his skills are still in their infant stage; he's stuck in a pattern of continual musical evolution. His productions skills are to rap what Quincy is to R & B. For those of you sleeping on Quik, better Wake UP! I could elaborate, but why? Balance & Options is EVIDENT! Quik if you should see this, tell the company you CAN'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT YOUR BAND, you're out there with so much more than "two turntables and a microphone."

5.0 out of 5 stars Getting Better With Time, June 7, 2000

D.J. Quik has always put good music out for his folks. Anyone who has not noticed that he is one of the best in the business when it comes to producing beats, should not even consider themselves as a West Coast music fan. He has the ability to go beyond rap music. He produces tracks made for the summertime. If you have ever felt the California vibe, you know what I am talking about. His musical capabilities have been established. What is most refreshing about this CD is that his flows have been refined. Quik is one of the few people who have maintained their luster over the years. If you like laid back tracks to ride to, GET THIS CD!
