DJ Quik took a huge step backwards with The Book of David

[D-TalkX]

I think it's a pretty cool album so far...although i'd be much happier if they took Bizzy off and replaced him with AMG but anyways ha.
The production is pretty crazy, there is a lot of stuff there that's impressive. it's a good album, not a great album but better than most as of late. It's missing one or two of those "WTF!!!!!!??? that's sick" songs for sure but there's some cool stuff. He shoulda used that beat at the end of "Nobody" though!!!!!!

Trauma was a good album, but I thought BlaKQout was the worst he's ever done but that's just me.

[Nutty]

Thought most on here didn't like 'Til Jesus Comes?

Someone summed it up best, beats are good, but content is sub-par..... and has been on his last few albums.

[JeremyM]

I like the album myself.  To be honest, I've always been a big Quik fan, but I didn't realize how much of a Quik fan I was until I started going through his catalog gearing up for this release and I pretty much like every one of his albums quite a bit.  So maybe I'm the wrong guy to ask for an objective opinion.

I really looked forward to hearing this album....but I feel it's average at best.  I listened to it for a day and a half and then took it out to put Coathanga Strangla back in 

[Detox Iz Not Active]

I know Quik wants to branch out and do different sounds but he honestly sucks at that, every time he tries to keep it funky like on Nobody he hits it out of the park, that track sounds like something straight from Rythmalism, 100% prime  Quik and Suga Free, then you listen to Fire and Brimstone and you hear some of the weakest shit ever heard from QUIk

[LAC/EASTSIDE]

Nothing from Book of David can get at this.........

IMHO Fire and Brimstone, even with the lightly disjointed sound is pure genius, one of the best tracks on the entire album. This shit bangs real hard, and Quik spit good lyrics here, and his performance is whoa!

THIS.

Fire and Brimstone, Killer Dope are my favorite lyrically. Most beats are nice. Nobody, Ghetto rendezvous are sick.

[BOX5 the best poster on this site yell]

fucc better quest,this is a quik album not nobody else shit that's that shit that fucc'd up this rap shit to me,muthafuccas wanting other people all on somebody shit,let this equal do him, experiment or not if quik is cool with his product that's what truly counts,me personally i ain't braille'n that muthafucca like that,but it will not deter me from being a fan,i like the fact that we don't know what we gonna get from quik with each release,it keeps you guessing,and that's another thing missing in this rap shit,so off that alone i'm giving the man props yell

[Jungleboy]

so, i understand all of your opinions but look at other rap artists? I mean if you compare this to Warren G "G Files" you will see that Quik loves the music! Warren wants everybody on his album and changed his musical style to sell shit! Quik is a true musicians who realize his strong position in west coast music history.

This shit is full of quality! This shit is an ALBUM! Look at Daz. Now you can see how cheap Westcoast Music is today. Quik was and is on a different level then these other cats.

My critic on that album is that the hooks are too short. Jon B as a singer isnt talented as Danny Boy, Nate Dogg (RIP) or those other cats from Terrace Martin Camp.

for me TBOD is one on Quiks most weakes albums..

trauma was like 40 minutes long, and i was angry at the beginning cause i waited years for a new quik album and than i heard that its like 40 min or soemthing

but trauma is pure quality, maybe 2 beats that wasnt that dope, the rest 

come on guys, just look at the beats on trauma, his lyrics and his topics and the mixing and the sound, everything 

there is not ONE beat on TBOD which made me think, DAMN thats it! there are only 2-3 beats which are good like killer dope, but the rest is nothing special.

and lets be honest, the guests on this album, Jon B is ok, nothing, great, Blackazz, ok nothing great, (there on too many songs) and we waited like 20 years for a cube/quik collabe and here we have boogie til you conk out? the song is ok, nothing great, they could make a monster hit, and what the other poster said is true, topic wise, i dont know what quik is talking on most of the songs, nothing personal, woman, money, bad sisters..

for me The Book of David 3/5

[BiggBoogaBiff]

everybody who said that "fire and brimstone" is off beat just literally proved that they have no rythm... lmao @ your life foreal... and lol again becuz it's just that funny
