why doesnt dj quik go back to his old smooth, melodic ways?

[Chef_YRD]

i've got no problem with his experimental tracks, but they're definitely very

HIT 'Back That Shit Up'

and

MISS 'Trapped On The Tracks'

if ya feel me. Quik can do whatever he pleases though, but we're not all going to like it. Somehow i don't think he cares, from his interviews you get the impression that if you're critical of any of his work you're not a true fan or something.

I do love back that shit up I feel that song is a perfect example of the growth of quik as an artist because instead of being the same food reheated it's like a new recipe of a favorite taste you know? I think another reason why people miss the old sound is that on the tracks we get later on he's not as sample heavy as he used to be...a lot of his previous works are smoother because he's sampling old school records from a time where virtually everything was smooth like that...fast forward to now the tracks that those fans enjoy are the pet semetarys where the same formula is followed...it seems like every miss in his catalog is just one bad choice away from being a hit tho like on trapped in the track that beat thumps in the car speakers in a "trauma" like fashion but the chorus was just very whack to me no chorus and it's good...it's grown on me tho...idk I think a true fan can be critical but still support an artist they like...the people who are like "why did he change" or "why is he still making the same kind of music" the ones who can never be pleased are the ones any musician can do without cuz your damned for trying to stay relevant to them and damned for being true to yourself
