This ain't 95 no more.  And this song sounds exactly like something from that era, sounds dated as fuck.  Quik has never really been able to evolve as a producer.  Of course this forum loves him for that reason.

of course quik has evolved as a producer, this is a silly statement. nearly of all of his albums have a different type of sound or sonic quality to them. and listen to tracks like fandango, hey playa or hydromatic. these are highly experimental pieces compared to his earlier work. the only thing that stays the same is the basic groove or 'funk' to his music.

Exactly! To me Quik's sound on albums is always like a continuation from the previous album, he gives you something familiar but pushes himself to give you a little something new; I've alway heard progress in his production. The thing that sounds familiar is that still keeps using his signature funky grooves, synths and percussion sounds that we all love and expect from Quik, but with every album he puts a slight twist on it to make it fresh but still him. But a lot of great producers have a signature sound that you can't mistake, for example Battlecat, Dj Premier, Jermain Dupri, Neptunes, etc. whether you like them or not they all have a signature sound to their production. His sound isn't dated, his sound is HIM (and he's been in the game 20+ years now), if someone thinks Quik's sound is tired then maybe they're just tired of listening to Quik and need to move on. Trauma is a dope album, sonically on another level than all his other albums, he still gives us some of that classic Quik on songs like Pacific Coast and Jet Set with a little of that g-funk but then most of the other tracks sound new, different and updated but still contain some classic Quik elements in them. I think it's actually harder to keep sounding fresh and new without losing your sound (your identity) than it is to just say f*ck it and totally change your whole sound and try and go for what is trendy at the moment, and that's why I think Quik is the best, he always gives us something new and fresh but still manages to make it sound like something classic that has always been there.

So back to this new track "Luv Of My Life", it's banging, another great Quik song. I hope the album's sound is consistent with tracks like this one here and "Nobody" with Suga Free and that "G-Shit" track. I hope he stays away from too much experimental tracks like the second half of Blaqout (most of the first half was on point but the second half was trying to do way too much). Keep doing you Quik, keep your unique sound intact (can't nobody f*ck with it), if we had more artist like you rap music as a whole would still be dope and sounding fresh.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Good post.  8)

anyone who claims Quik hasn't evolved or anything stupid like that obviously has no ear for music at all. you wanna hear quik do wack ass 808 beats now like everybody else? he did a few of those and they are easily among the worst songs he's ever done (ie: "whatcha wan do"). he's kept his signature style while doing something extremely fresh on all his recent albums ("Ev'ryday", "Ladies & Thugs", "9x Outta 10")

like i said in the other thread...you fucks are never happy. a bunch of spoiled fuckers that have had your musical tastes catered too by the internet for far too long.

yall are mad at dre for not staying the same and mad at quik for not switching it up...nothings good enough for yall.

word!

what does it matter if a quik beat sounds like a dre beat? I'd rather have it the other way around.

so what was the point of your argument? lol

what argument? i was pointing out it had 'dre-like' production in the hope it would make more people check it. nothing to do with me liking it more/less for that reason.
