this west coast masterpiece is a must have for any fan of REAL rap. quik wrote his absolute best verses on this album and the production was top notch from top to bottom. this is an album that's been in my cd rotation since it came out.

good album. but it's hard to come right after Rhythm-Al-Ism. I'll say this though. This album contains the absolute best rap outro that was ever done, but it's too damn short.
-
dope album.
and yes, that outro is tooooo short. Needs to be made into a song.
-
I dont want to party with you, is one of Quik's best tracks. Straight classic beat and rhyme. One of my favorite Quik albums!
-
Real spit in this CD..Until Mausberg got killed..Quik went stupid..He went on some, "I'm gonna kill you" through a CD type shit..
-
the divorce song is the best on tha album...it shows that dj quik is not onyl a producer, he is a musician... and james debarge... no need to comment about his performance...
-
my fav is change the game....one of the the most fucking ridiculous beats quik has ever fucking made...in my opinion.
& rogers groove.
-
Like somebody else said, this will remain forever as one of the most well made albums. Quiks music on this is ridiculous.
Well to me is one of his best jams.

I still can't help but think that this could have been better. Cut out "some" of the skits, and fillers, and possibly replaced them with another song, and a longer outro. Nonetheless, this was still a great album
-
was this the one he made while he was "hanging" around DEATH ROW? or am i wrong

That's how great this album is. All those worthless skits, take all those off, it would be perfect.

Pitch in on a party is my jam 8)
-
I actually think this is Quik's best album, with Rhythmalism a close second. I know that's not a popular opinion, but there's just something about this album i like.
-
those skits were funny. added a nice touch of humor and fun to the cd/music.
i too, think this is his best solo album thus far.
-
Great album the tracc for roger troutman was my shit..i still think rhytmalism has an edge over this album but still classic nonetheless
-
can u say gangsta shit...gangsta shit say gangsta shit...gangsta shit can u say gangsta shit...gangsta shit say gangsta shit...i aint sayin it no moe. ;D
-
I personally like this album more than Rhythm-al-ism. Beats had more appeal to me.
-
Balance & Options, and Rythm-alism were the 2 albums that personified what his signature sound was, and are the favourites beat-wise, but
Quik Is The Name still remains my favourite in overall terms since it was one of the first Hip Hop tapes I'd ever bought, and had it on repeat for a long while after. It showed what 90's West Coast gangsta rap was all about. Tonight, Born and Raised in Compton, 8 Ball, Sweet Black Pussy, first ever Quiks grove. This had everything, and was playable all the way through unlike a lot of other commercialised gangsta rap tapes around that time. I got That feelin, and bombud were both smokable songs, and different from other Rap tapes. Always overlooked when talking about Quiks versatility, and quality
-
for me, his solo work in the order i like....balance & options. quik is the name, safe n sound. way 2 fonky, rhythm-al-ism..this order is subject to change when i hear the book of david.....under the influence and trauma...ill have to listen to the tracks on those albums again...cuz, honestly, i skimmed through those albums far as listening to them and never purchased.
-
Balance and Options had some sick BEATS and I think he took his Rhyming to another level in this album.

..."and the horse wants his 'fro back" shit makes me laugh everytime, it's one of my all-time favorite Quik songs, tight beat, great lyrics and funny shit talkin going on in the hook, classic! Balance and Options is my second favorite on my Quik list.
1. Safe + Sound
2. Balance & Options
3. Quik Is the Name
4. Rhythmalism
5. Trauma
6. Way 2 Funky
7. Under the Influence
I like "Quik Is the Name", "Rhythmalism" and "Trauma" about the same depending on my mood (I pulled the 4 songs that came out on the Trauma mixtape that were not on the album and made my own version of Trauma which I like better). Safe + Sound is still my shit though, Quik going hard at Eiht, he flipped a few dope samples on that one and his beats were funky as hell, not one weak song imo.
-
Just like Quik said, it was an album for the "grown ups". I love 'Speak On It' & 'Change Da Game'.
This album was a risk on his part but it worked out in the end.
Its a classic . Period.
Either due to its bangers or its own distinctive sound EVEN within his own catalogue.
It's up the with my top 3 Quik albums.

Right after my last post I was going to mention that but didn't wanna spam too much bullshit
Do Watcha Want is another song that stands out from his whole catalogue! Closest to that sound would be on S+S or Rhythmalism.
Straight party record.
