Quik Fans Get In Here: Safe + Sound vs Rhythmalism

[DonCorleone187]

i'm a balance and options fan

[Quadruple OG]

Safe and Sound because it has more classic tracks than Rythm-al-ism

[Sikotic™]

Gotta be Rhythmalism. One of my favorite westcoast albums ever. Safe + Sound was simply a classic, but I think Rhythmalism was that much better.

[Suga Foot]

I think Safe & Sound is better.  It's a perfect summertime cd.  

[Lil Jay]

For a while I had thought Balance & Options was better than Rhythm-al-ism. I don't anymore, but I could see why somebody would. Lyrically B&O is a lot better.

Exactly...B&O was my favorite Quik album for a long ass time. I remember I thought Safe + Sound was good but not more when I first got it, I guess its an album that grows on you after a while. But they switched positions as my fav album. and this poll is a close one btw

[smerlus]

my vote went for safe & sound. sure it can be seen as a more cookie cutter cd against all the creativity in rhythm al ism, but to me safe & sound's music is much more timeless for me...

both are great cd's and should not be missed

~oh and yeah i also think balance and options is almost on the same level as these two....B&O only has a couple weak songs that hold it back

[SikksTrey]

Both albums are perfect, IMO. But I have to go with Safe+Sound, which has been my all-tim-favourite-album since it droped. Production is incredible, and you can hear Quik's hungry. And for me this album brings a lot of good memories back....

I agree with everyone else that says its a "mood" thing.  When I feel like hearing that mid 90's funk shit (which is like everyday) I throw in Safe & Sound.  When I'm kickin it or going on a long driver I'll listen to Rhythmalism.  With tracks like Whateva U Do, Thinkin Bout U, So Many Ways, El's Interlude, Youz A Gangsta etc that shit can help you relax for real.

  In my opinion Safe & Sound should definately get the nod as a 5 mic hip hop classic.  Matter of fact you might as well say its a 6 mic album considering The Source named Scarface-The Fix, Outkast- Aquemini, Biggie-Life After Death, Nas-Stillmatic, Jay-z Blueprint all 5 mic classics.  I cant name more than 3 tracks from any of these besides Outkast & Biggie. Lets think about this for a second/Are these albums on the same level of Safe & Sound and Rythmalism?  In my humble opinion, HELL NO!!

It's a matter of tastes. If you ask anyone from the East which album is best: Jay-Z, Nas or DJ Quik they'll probably say "DJ what?".

F!ck that matter of tastes sh!t.  Safe & Sound is one of the few classic albums in hip hop history.  Just cause East Coast niggas  haven't heard of Quik it doesn't mean we should rate him low because its not up to their standards or whatever the f!ck.  

Its too bad the major media outlets are East Coast based though.(Source, MTV, BET)   Sh!t I even heard 100.3 the beat in Los Angeles is owned by the same East Coast company that owns Hot 97 in NYC.   They don't hear our shit but I'm sure all of you in LA can vouch for me when I say that there is no shortage of East Coast artists on the radio in Cali.  Its been like that for a little while.

[LAZY]

im goin 4 Safe + Sound, i like the more G stuff but rhythmalism is tite 2

[Darksider]

depends on the situation...both are very dope

LMAO
I think you're going a little far there sweetheart.

[Suga Foot]

I think I'm alone on this, but I think "Under the Influence" is Quiks best CD.
