DJ Quik – Change the Game
1. Change the game…Crisp production opens up the album. Two tight verses delivered by Quik and one by Mausberg. Good hook. 3.5/5
2. Did y’all feel dat?…Smooth production and Quik matches his flow perfectly to it. Great hook. Mausberg is featured here for a good verse. 4/5
3. We came to play…Great production. I love the hook. Both AMG and Quik lay down nice vocals. 4/5
4. Pitch on a party…Quik tells a funny story of throwing a party. Good hook and decent production. 3.5/5
5. I don’t wanna party wit U…Smooth production. Quik has a dope flow and content on the track. He’s clowin’ on the chorus. 4/5
6. Motex records…interlude
7. Sexuality…The only thing that is decent with the track is the chorus. The beat turns me off on the song. The lyrics are alright. 2/5
8. How come?…This song is filled with some great lyrical content. Dope chorus and the production fits the song perfectly. 4/5
9. U ain’t fresh…Quik’s opening verse is hilarious. Track features Ham and Erick Sermon. Good production. 3.5/5
10. Roger’s groove…Laidback Roger-delivered vocals. It’s a “gotta be in the mood” track. 3.5/5
11. Motex records II…interude
12. Quikker said than dunn…Quik re-does Eazy-E’s “Eazy-er said than dunn”, and gives it his own touch. The beat still sounds basically the same, with a slight change. 3.5/5
13. Straight from the streets…interlude
14. Speak on it…Features Mausberg and AMG. An average all around track. 3/5
15. Do wutcha want…Good production. Digital Underground appear with Quik and AMG. 3.5/5
16. Well…Laidback beat that sounds more like an R&B track. Good hook by Raphael Saadiq. 3.5/5
17. Quik’s groove V…I don’t rate instrumentals.
18. Do I love her?…Production is bland, except when the chorus comes in. Quik’s verse sounds lazy, but Suga Free’s verse is good. 3/5
19. Tha divorce song…This is just an R&B track which does not feature Quik. It features James DeBarge. The beat is good, but overall, worth skipping. 2/5
20. Balance & options…outro
OVERALL…3.5/5
As always with DJ Quik, the production is good, except it lacks here and there on “Balance & Options”. Overall, though, the production isn’t quite up to par with what we’ve come to expect from Quik. Still, a decent effort from a great rapper and dope producer.

I almost agree but "Pitch In On A Party" is a classic to me. The skits are pretty pointless though.

i don't think i'd pick this up especially after this rating of 3.5...because you gave the other one 4.25 and i thought it deserved a little lower...so this might only be like a 3 or 3.25 to me...but i guess i'd have to hear it to judge it myself...good job on the review overall homie, you make the review section worth checking every day, peace.
