Quik Fans Get In Here: Safe + Sound vs Rhythmalism

[Lil Jay]

Ok i picked these 2 albums for the poll because these are the ones hailed as classics and Quiks best work yet to most (Quik-)Fans. But even 6 years later I cant decide which one is better. I guess it depends on my mood, sometimes its "Safe + Sound", and sometimes "Rhytmalism". But Safe + Sound is definitley more gangsta, and I love the P-Funk feel it has on the entire album. "Rhytmalism" had a more friendly feel but was a musical perfection. They came out right after the other but are completely different.

Safe + Sound is a pure classic imo. 5 out of 5, Rhythmalism had one or two average ones, thats why I give it a 4.9/5, so I guess Ill go with Safe + Sound. But you can listen to both albums all the way through, thats for sure. but you shouldn't vote unless you have peeped both

The most underappreciated artist in hip hop period. His entire collection has the most replay value than anything else in Hip Hop.

Tough choice.

I'll queue both up (after street gospel. hehe) and come back later

[Smoke]

Both are 5 mics, i really dunno.

ima go with safe + sound

sometime me and my homies just bumpin the whole quik catalog

[TobyTizzle]

Queue them up? U dont have them already seer? *E-bitch slaps Overseer*

Im gonna go with Rhythmalism because it has a more modern sound to it, which I prefer. Dont get me wrong, as Jay said both are nearly flawless, but I just find Rhythmalism better.

'So Many Wayz', '2gether Again', 'Use a Gangxta', 'Pitch it on a Party', 'Down Down Down', 'Medley for a V'... man I love em all

I'll go for a tie cause I can't really pick one over the other. Both are classic and, as said, there are times you feelin S+S more or R-A-I. Matter of fact, you can't go wrong with a Quik album. Not even with UTI.

[Kill]

Safe & Sound but it's close

I feel the same. Rhytmalism is more of a "feeling good" album while Safe + Sound is a bit more hardcore.
Both are extremely good, period.

Very hard to choose, but I'd give Rhythmalism the slight edge. It was just more complete, well-rounded and polished as an album. Includes my all-time favorite Quik song (We Still Party) and just countless other classics. Plus the whole slow-down during mid-album before going back to uptempo is a really nice touch.

Safe & Sound - Classic. Rough around the edges but that's part of its appeal. Very street but still very smooth. Couple of tracks I don't play too often but still a great collection of songs and a nice snapshot of the whole west coast scene of the time.
