This review is from: Way 2 Fonky (Audio CD)

I went crazy when i went into the record shop and saw that this was out after having quiks first album getting played non stop at home. I picked it up straight away and as soon as I got home I put the tape on and I turned the volume hiigh. As soon as ''americas most complete artist'' came on I knew he had pulled off another heavy album which would be tight from start to finish. I wasn't dissapointed one bit as I was chillin thinking ''Oh my god!!, he has made this sample sound mad!!''. He stepped up his level a bit from his last album and he was sounding more funky and melodious in 92, even after hearing hi-c's album and what he did on that and penthouse players, this was sounding like the best tracks I had ever heard aswel as the rhymes going over them. His beats are always on point with nice basslines, quality mixing and mastering and the tightest flows around because he had the voice for it. He went at mc eiht again which I really liked even though mc eiht couldn't even get quik a quarter as much as he got given. No disrespect, but Mc eiht was so wack compared to quik. He could not even diss vanilla ice he was that bad lol. And so quik put him in place with tim dog too. Once again quik had made another classic album covering many different aspects. He had proved that he really does mean business and he is the one in control. Much respect to one of my favourite producers/rappers ever again for this album. 1992 got stepped up and this man was responsible for the good things that evolved in these years and and onward. If you haven't got this, wake up!!!.......and order this sh#t now!!! Peace!

Just when some east coast rappers were taking shots at the west coast for killing each other over colors, sporting jerry curls and dissing the city of Compton, The "King of the Underground" bounces back and makes sure that his presence is felt.

This is DJ Quiks follow up album to the west coast classic, "Quik Is The Name." Although this is probably everyones least favorite DJ Quick album, he still manages to display his fonky style in production and spit some of the baddest west coast lyrics laid on tracks. The album starts off with Quik crowning himself as "America'z Most Complete Artist," which he has shown worthy after dropping only two albums. No other rapper on the west coast, at that time, had made an impact on not only rap, but music in general. Songs like "Quik'z Groove II" and "When You're A Gee," which features an amazing guitar solo by Robert Bacon and a verse by PPC's Playa Hamm, showed his love for playing/making good music. Other strong tracks include "Mo' Pussy," "Jus Like Compton," and the hit "Way 2 Fonky," where DJ Quik retalliates at one of the Bronx so called finest, Tim Dogg, for making a song about DJ Quiks beloved hometown, Compton. Of course, DJ Quik would be triumphant in this battle telling the story of how the beef started and how it ended within one verse. However, the beef does not stop there. "Tha Last word" is the start of the feud between two of Comptons big named rappers on wax. DJ Quik being one of them, the other being MC Eiht from Comptons Most Wanted(CMW).

Other tracks include "Me Wanna Rip Your Girl," which once again displays Quik's love for reggae music, "Only Fo' Tha Money," where Quik is joined by 2nd II None, and the loving ballad, "Let Me Rip Tonite," where Sexy Leroy and the Chocolate Love-Lites take over the vocals to put a spell on the ladies.

Last but not least would be the title, "Niggaz Still Trippin'" where Quik is reunited with AMG, Hi-C and 2nd II None. Also appearing on this track would be the newcomer never to be heard from again, JFN, The Fonky White Nigga. This would be the follow up to the ever so tight "Niggaz Trippin," which appeared on the classic debut album of 2nd II None.

Although this album is still not yet recognized for what it's worth, it is still truly a classic album and is probably one of the best albums produced musically. I would highly recommend this album, as I would any Quik album, to rap fans of any kind.

This review is from: Way 2 Fonky (Audio CD)

Quik sure gets his funk on with "Way 2 Fonky." He draws on from what made "Quik Is The Name" so great: elaborate P-Funk samples. This album may not be on the same level as his 1st, be does have surefire hits. The title track and "Amerika'z Most Complete Artist" are awesome with nice beats exploring what it takes to keep it real and funky in the rap game. "Jus Lyke Compton" is where DJ Quik synthesizes his experiences touring in other cities, and how they are not that much different from his birthplace, all over a deep bass beat with jingle bells adding to the funky feel to the song. He also has his fair share of dirty, naughty songs like "N---az Still Trippin'" and "Mo' P---y." This album is an essential addition to your G-Funk set.
