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

[Get It Off Ya Chest]

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

I really dig Fuck Y'all too

i agree. 2 of my favs from the album

[YSH]

fresh album.. fresh sound..luvin it

[kuruptDPG]

8 out of 13 traks were good and yes it was the best westcoast album so far. its a shame kurupts lyrics werent in their along with quiks dope production

[Paul]

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

SH had some great beats on it


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

Nah it didnt. Production let it down big time

[Episcop Cruel Cvrle]

Bang!! 9 times outta 10 !!!

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

good point, but i'd like to see anyone who disagrees making a case for presumably another album that sounds better. the sound quality on blaqkout far surpasses anything else this year.

the lack or complete absence of alternatives in this thread pretty much proves the point.

There was some nice production on Blaqkout, but there was also weak production. The Madlib album was far better sounding.

[.:Hercy Buggz:.]

yeah an album mixed and produced by Dj Quik is always good

[Chamillitary Click]

i've always been more of a "banger" guy than a "smooth" guy & even though it had a few bangers; Relapse had some great production.

but for pure sound, it might be Blaqout.

[Matty]

i'm still noticing new sounds every time i listen to this cd. it definitely comes down to musical preference, but if you wanna hear something crisp, clean and funky sounding then there isn't any competition.

relapse might be a good comparison because it is pretty much produced entirely by a WC producer, but i don't think dre really pushed the envelope on there. it didn't have the warmth/life/bounce to it that the best stuff on blaqkout did

[Triple OG Rapsodie]

like I said before, Madlib's tribute to dilla is way better than Blaqkout.

like I said before, Madlib's tribute to dilla is way better than Blaqkout.

gonna check it out. probably not gonna be up my street as much as quik's sounds but the other madlib stuff i got is straight. and dilla

[CHUCK KNOXXX]

i'll take fashawn's 'boy meets world' album over blaqout in terms of production, taking nuthing away from quik tho', i just enjoyed exiles production much more

[G-Funk]

Well. It's the west coast release I enjoyed more than the others.

I wanted to buy the CD first, but I instead listened to a leak of it and quickly put it on my iPod then I bought myself a copy (I also embedded that into my iPod as well since it's quality was higher than the leak )
I had that shit on repeat all day. After a few weeks it lost it's replay value. But I enjoyed it.

[Matty]

random but it makes great background music for playing mario kart
