DJ Quik- Under The Influence

[d-nice]

What did you guys think of the album? I was going through my albums and decided to throw this in the ride. It was good, a bit of a different sound compared to his other albums but solid. 50 Ways, Put It On Me, Trouble and of course Quik's Groove 6 are all bangin cuts off this.

I love it. Like Quik said he went back to sampling James Brown wich made the drums real raw on this record I also like the people featured on this. I actually think it's better than Trauma, looking back now. Trouble is also a monster how did that not become a major hit? Probably politics.

Was a little disappointed by it.

Something was missing from that album. Not to say I could not enjoy it because I did, but it was not as melodic as his other albums. Sounded more stripped down.

[Teddy Roosevelt]

And the album is Under Tha Influence.

True that.

Meh it was alright, fair fairs, at first i liked it because it was quite a change but now that i look over it there's no real tunez to keep me coming back to bump it again and all. Safe + Sound was the one for me.

[WestCoasta]

don't know why people don't like this, it's one of my favorite Quik albums and there really isn't a pair of bad songs on it


Trouble, Come 2Nyte....etc there are ton of 5/5 tracks scattered throughout

What about 50 ways? That's one of the deepest tracks Quik ever did.

Yeah 50 Ways is dope as fuck. I remember he got a Hip Hop Quotable for that. When Quik gets in that storytelling mode you really feel the emotion when he raps. I had forgot he recorded this shortly after Mausberg was killed.
