not a classic to me. but very good album. i prefer other QUik-related albums that came out around the same time like Classic 220.

It's classic in the same sense that Classic 220 is a classic: one of the best west coast releases of the 90s, but barely anyone has heard it.

shame about the mastering situation but it's definitely an essential album here :bandit:

Mausberg’s album, Non Fiction, was released posthumously in 2000 on Sheppard Lane Records. Were you happy with the final product?

Oh, no, not at all! I wasn’t satisfied with the mastering. I spent a lot of money personally; maybe 40 grand in the studio [to] produce it right. When I finally mixed the record, I gave it to Stan Sheppard. He took them to this hole in the wall mastering plant. It made the whole album sound like an MP3 as opposed to the big, lush, analog albums we are known to make. So of course I was unhappy. We can’t even find Stan Sheppard to get the original master tapes.


listen to suga free's first album and you get an idea how good the album could of/should of sounded. doesn't ruin it or anything but it's still a shame.

i really don't see a problem with the mastering...sounds good go me when bumped in the whip. now, some of those bay area, home-made classics could use better mastering, but the "bad" mastering on this is barely noticeable. mausberg+quik=beast combination

And anyway Stan Sheppard is all over the net, he did have a column on dubcnn too.. I guess Quik just let it go..

Back to the topic it's a classic to me, no doubt!!! Been bumping "I can feel that" several times today, just love his flow on this track!

Never can get enough of Mausberg, he was so dope on the mic, had a presence that very few had, like Pac, spittin raw shit hitting you straight on your face!

Aargh I wish Quik would have released posthume material from Mr Mausberg but he's like "no I don't want anybody to hear it" fuck it Mausberg made his music to be heard not to sit in Quik's vault.

If your girlfriend (or nonexistent girlfriend) doesn't care about the mastering, neither should you.

ok getting away from the mastering :laugh: this, classic 220 and street gospel are like the holy trinity of quik produced albums from this time period. the masuberg definitely has some of the best quik produced tracks ever. any way u want 2 is pure summer, crazy debarge hook and the voicebox outro. i can feel that has that trademark summer vibe too. there's get nekkid which is a pure banger and a monster bassline. mushrooms is a hella jazzy, tripped out storytelling joint. bank on it is super menacing with the weird off-beat noises. tha truth iz - incredible funked out beat. no more questions, another mean funked out track. mausberg is on point throughout and quik drops some dope verses too. and a short comment doesn't really do it any justice - there's so much that can be said about this LP.

even the non-quik produced tracks are bangers. it's always in rotation 8)

I think "I Can Feel That" is easily one of the best beats Quik ever made.

I can bump this track without end. How many Quik productions even come close to it?

If maus was spitting over mostly dre production in his short career, he would have easily reached legendary status.  quik production on a whole wasn't hard enough for maus in my opinion. 4 quik joints and the rest dre would have been the business yell

that seems like a legit point...even though no one can fuck with quik, mausberg seemed 2 sound best over some hard gangsta shit. not sayin his shit wit quik aint classic, but a mausberg cd produced by dre? damn

now you are talking.  and it's like I don't think dre could produce a better 2 nd to none or sugar free album then quik, quik style is a perfect match for those guys. On another note I think a nelly album produced by quik would be knot. Yell
