[Sccit]

Been slappin under the influence this past couple days .. I always liked it, but I'm startin to think it's actually towards the bottom of the list. Midnight Life >

How y'all got em ranked?

[bigpimpin20]

under tha influence is underrated, i like it cuz its so different from usual quik style, im glad that he tried some new things on this one also it always sounded to me very ''dre-ish'' like it could have came out on aftermath

Exactly .. Extremely dreesque, which is cool, but much diff than typical Quik.
I like it, but u can tell he was goin for the Dre sound a lil too much.

UDI & Trauma are actually the only DJ Quik Albums I do not like. I think the mastering is shit on UDI.

The rest of Quik's discography doesn't exist to me.  Actually, if I had to narrow it down further, I wouldn't have a problem taking out 4 and 5.

It was my first quik album too I remember thinking I was the man smashing my first girl friend and playing mo pussy haha it's so hard to narrow down tho I'd have to listen to them all and really think about it I just literally love his whole discography

[Sccit]

Yes! There's a couple joints on there towards the end where the vocals are way too low in comparison to the beat. Threw me off like a mufucka when I slapped it in the deck a couple days ago.

True, he really don't have any bad or sub-par albums .. But way 2 fonky is towards the top for me

I feel like his first 2 were great and went with the time he made them in,same with safe and sound I just feel like after street gospel,so from 97 on he came into his own more and made music that was more experimental...way 2 fonky is dope tho it might even be better than quik is the name if we romoved the nostalgia/legacy factors and peeped them without any other knowledge cuz quiks groove 2 is pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Quik's first two albums are classic, but just objectively speaking, they're nowhere near as good as his music from Safe & Sound onward. Everything changed with that album. From that point forward, Quik became much more consistent.

I'd consider ranking Book of David above Safe & Sound. Sonically, BOD is the far superior album, but I just love Somethin 4 The Mood and Summer Breeze so much.
