Blaqkout is easily the best sounding release from the Westcoast in '09

[Matty]

forgetting about the subject matter of the songs etc this is musically and production wise on another level to anything we've heard this year. by a long way. quik remains a genius at work.

[OG Hack Wilson]

Slaughterhouse if that counts  (since Crooked is west coast)




my fav westcoast release is THE ULTIMATE DEATH ROW COLLECTION box set lol   - but Re Lit was tight too

[Matty]

im pretty much only talking about the production. the SH album wasn't great in terms of the beats at all.

and re-releases/relits don't count. just new music

[Action!]

is there an instrumental?

[Matty]

i wouldn't say the vocals really get in the way too much. it mostly fits with the fun kind of vibe. only instrumental is for hey playa.

Yeah Kurupt didn't really have it lyrically but the production was great, banging from beginning to end

SH had some great beats on it


the one, cuckoo, sound off, salute me, cut you loose etc.

[D-Nice]

I dig Blaqkout, but more for the mixing and mastering. There was really no beats for me that just had me awestruck but as a whole it was a very cohesively produced album.

man are you serious with this thread ?  blaqout had the first 3 songs were cool then the rest sucked

[Chamillitary Click]

i would agree, but seriously; what else has dropped as competition?

[Dogg Ly Dogg]

Agreed! This album is musically the best record I've heard in years...
DJ Quik tried a new direction wit Fixxers and it wasnt all that but this time he makes something incredible!

[J-FUNKTION]

LOL laughable..rhyming was subpar..and some production was good..but nothing amazing..broaden your horizons...just cause 2 west coast vets make an album together dont mean its gonna be good..

[IbblesAndBits]

i agree but i think this album could've been damn near classic if they took their time with it. it was rushed and you can tell....i remember kurupt saying it didn't take them long to make it.....imagine if they did.


still, "blaqkout", "tha appeal" & "cream n ya panties" were excellent. too bad the whole album didn't sound like those 3 songs.

I'm with this guy. Kinda let down with the album as a whole.

[eazye]

Oh! has an amazing beat  Can't stop bumping that song

I really dig Fuck Y'all too
