This album is a West Coast masterpiece. I have been a fan of Quik since "Born In Raised In Compton" and he has not slacked up in the beat-making department. This album bangs from start to finish. My favorite tracks are We Still Party, So Many Wayz, I Used To Know Her, Get 2getha Again and You'z A Ganxta. This album most definitely proves that Quik is one of the best producers of all time. I am clueless as to why he has not gotten the credit he deserves because he is certainly at the top of my list of favorite producers. Buy this album, and if you are like me, the infectious grooves will keep Rhythm-al-ism in heavy rotation for years to come!

Some slick West Coast funk February 23, 2000
Format:Audio CD
This is the best West-Coast album to come out for a while. Not since Snoop's "Doggystyle" has there been an album this funky. DJ Quik's bouncy sound is centered around lush instrumentation not heard since the days of Marvin Gaye and Curtis Mayfield. And while Quik doesn't exactly croon like the afore-mentioned soul slingers, his laid-back, high-pitched flow will get anyone mellow. There are rarely any slow or dull moments on this disc. Sometimes Quik lets lower-key grooves ride out a little too long, but most of the time it's almost as satisfying to just cool out to the instrumentals as it is to hear Quik and his usual brethren (2nd II None, AMG, Playa Hamm) spit West Coast player-ism. The best songs have to be "We Still Party," whose infectious guitar lick on the chorus is painfully bounceable, "I Useta Know Her," which utilizes a vocoder as good as Roger & Zapp ever did, and "No Doubt," but that's because of a private joke my friends and I have about MGD. Anyway, if lush party jams is what you're lookin' for, get this album now.

RHYTHMALISM is without a doubt one of the greatest west coast albums to ever be released. Why? Because of the unbelievable instrumentation in the production...Because of Quik's melodic flow...and Because its almost impossible to hit the skip button after the CD is inserted in the player. What sets this album apart from previous Quik releases is his dramatic departure from the straight gangsta sound of the previous release Safe and Sound. On RHYTHMALISM David Blake has a new outlook, a refreshing touch on the production boards and experimental tendencies that make this record a definite classic. Straight from the gates the album heats things up with an adrenaline packed intro followed by what may be the best track "We Still Party". As Quik puts it, "life is much to short to not be fly." This motto is emphasized on pimpish flutes and playalistic keyboards that the Compton DJ plays himself. This album is home to at least LA anthems including "Down, Down, Down", "Hand in Hand" and "Medley for a V" which features Snoop and Nate Dogg. Versatility in tracks is also shown when Quik goes from rapping about a lost love on "Thinking Bout U" to spittin on the reggae flipped `Bombudd II". Overall change is what pushed Q up to that next level. As he puts it on "Youz a Gangsta"...."there's a difference between being a thug and being down." He might not be a murderer or criminal but he'd definitely down with the streets.
