SUGA FREE PRESENTS MR. P BODY (Official Discussion)

It’s more like bunch of random demo tracks with low sound quality. No fun from listening to this type of trash releases. No to this one.

DJ Quik didn't really have anything to do with this other than production on a few tracks.  My guess on this, and I could be totally wrong....Free had some of these DJ Quik songs in the vault forever, like GET IT.  I know he had GOOD ENOUGH pulled from his last album because Quik wanted to save it.  Quik been pushing this Quik/Free album for the last 20 years, I believe it was supposed to be called Geminis.  And i think finally both of them realized this is never going to happen and Quik finally gave Free the OK to release some of these songs.  But of course they were never fully mixed or mastered.  Although GET IT sounds like it was mastered pretty well.  But i mean damn, holding on to a 15 year old song, i'm glad they finally just released it.  Even if they did come together and do an album (highly unlikely), they'll record new stuff anyways.  I think that's part of why the mixing seems all over the place and it's a mix of older and newer songs.  I do think Free was cleaning out the vault for some of these songs, which i'm glad he did.  GET IT is the true gem, i never thought i'd get to hear it in HQ.  Been listening to audio from that concert rip forever.  Then someone finally put the instrumental under it, which helped a bit.  But getting it on an album is so much better.

maybe i just presume after hearing this that Free stuck the Quik tracks on there without his permission, such is the horrendous quality. it's as if someone took a low quality mp3 through a very low quality mastering process and fried them. Quik is known for sound quality so I presume when any song he produced is released on a commercial project (something people are paying for) he ideally is going to OK the final mix/master. I could be totally wrong but it's just painful to hear his records presented in this way. likewise that Get It track is equally rubbish quality, just listen to the OG instrumental it's taken from and it's 100 times clearer/fuller.

This kind of projects are smack in the fan’s face.
