So just because we arent feeling the more mainstream vibe they used on this album all of the sudden we're childish? Im 29 bro I don't wanna hear no playful beats with meaningless rhymes. I want rhymes that paint pictures in my head and beats that sound raw. Aint even gotta be 90's quik beats cause i was totally feeling under tha influence n trauma. Fact of the matter is I think westcoast rap is horrible right now and has been for the past few years and and some cats are just willing to take whatever they give us and call it great just because thats all we're getting from them.

No. It's not an issue of whether people feel it or not. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. It's this whole "hyperbole" mentality that a lot of you have and I'm not necessarily saying it's you. Cats build this record up in their head like it's going to be the biggest album ever or on par with this or whatever and then when it isn't the record they wanted or expected, their disappointment goes into overdrive and it becomes the "most terrible, shitty album of all time". The reviews are more about your unmatched expectations for the album than the actual quality of the album.

I'm sure the sound won't be as basic as the Fixxers stuff.And let's be honest, anyone who thinks this will be Safe + Sound crossed with Dogg Food is in for a disappointment.

actually rapsodie there are westcoast cats that paint pictures in your head listen to suga frees on street gospel and even on sunday school and you'll get images of the stuff he be talking about and the comment you made about 90's stuff being playufl i wouldnt necessarily call it playful i would call it funky...big difference.

Kurupt keeps on repeating the same rhymes over & over and its like he dont even put any time into making dope lyrics anymore like the Dogg Food days . Blaqout was a big dissapointment . They fell of hard . I'll admit the production on some of the tracks were questionable, but lyrics were decent enuff..

Blaqout was a low budget album , it sounds like they made it in 1 week with no effort put in . Quik and Kurupt havent dropped anything dope in a long time . i guess thats why it flopped pretty bad 10,000 copies sold . crazy stuff
