Quik's "GET UP" with Game needs a vid or Trauma won't sell!
« on: August 29, 2005, 10:42:06 AM »
If quik doesn't get a video for get up, Trauma won't sell.

It needs commercial dick-riding to get some units.

I love quik, but i just hope he makes good vid choices cause this will make or break him.
One nuts, two nuts, three un four
Then I wake up in the morning and I bust two more
Cus that's the freak in me, and yes I'm very doggy
Playin with your coochie till it's nice and soggy

I do think you're right, but it doesn't nec. need to be Get Up.  Yeah Game is on there, but Chingy, Ludacris, T.I. and Wyclef all have commerical appeal.  So if he shoots a video for anyone of those songs, I'm sure his sales will pick up.  Shame though, this album is one of the hottest of the year and probably won't be heard by the masses.
if you're girl has a leak tell her 2 call tha mothafuckin' Plumma named Pete, thats me.

well, he surely needs a video ASAP.
and he needs a single that gets spins outside of cali.
as much as i love this album would like quik to sell major units again, i have a doubts it will happen since the album hasn't really been promoted so well...

I'd like to see "Fandango" have a video first, then either "Spur Of The Moment" (tha version from Quik's album) or "Get Up"...

I don't really feel Get Up as much as other songs and Game sounds like crap on that song.

Get Up would probably work as the best single.  Its definitely not the titest song on the CD, probably one of the weakest actually, but it would have commercial appeal.  "Black Mercedes" is probably the hottest track on the CD, but that won't work outside of the LA area.  "Indiscretions" is too smooth for a single, dickriders want something more up-tempo.

Black Mercedes is my favorite track, and I do think it could catch some ears outside the west. It definitely has a west coast sound, but its somethin anybody could ride to, and wit Nate on the hook it's no questions.
