Post by: Sikotic™ on June 28, 2004, 06:01:27 PM: Get it.

It's no Safe + Sound or Rhythm-al-ism, but it's still a solid smooth record.

Post by: Eddie G. on June 28, 2004, 06:19:16 PM: Its one of the weaker Quik albums, but still better than anything else out.

And it's the best track on the album.

Post by: Danté Williams on June 29, 2004, 08:40:53 AM: That album is fucking dope!! Dont hesitate, buy that shit.

And yeah, the Pharoahe verse is one of my favourite moments of the album...WHAT THE FUCK DO WE HAVE HERE???
Title: Re: DJ Quik-Under the Influence
Post by: Suga Foot on June 29, 2004, 09:08:28 AM: I think it's Quiks second best album (after Safe + Sound). It's not the same smooth kinda beats he usually does, but the album was put together VERY well.
Title: Re: DJ Quik-Under the Influence
Post by: Juronimo on June 29, 2004, 12:21:52 PM: 50Ways is the best song Quik has ever recorded lyrically. I'd get it just for that track alone. Well they're are other tight tracks on there as well but damn that song is just way too incredible.

Actually, "50 Wayz" is the best track on the album. And yes, the verse is crazy, but to say it like it outshines the rest of the album is pure stupidity.

Post by: Laconic on June 29, 2004, 10:35:10 PM: Thanks for the replies...So it's safe to say that its better than Balance&Options. Not to say that B&O is a shitty album just a lot of filler tracks in my opinion.

whatttt... Under Tha Influence had more filler tracks than Balance & Options in my opinion homie. tracks like "Change The Game", "Well", "I Dont Wanna Party With You", "Pitch In Ona Party" are amazing. B&O is like a 8/10 to me, and Under Tha Influence 7/10. B&O had a more Quik feel to it than Under Tha Influence, which had Dre's name written all over it. But I gotta say though, Under Tha Influence was put together well, and better than Balance & Options which had alot of leftovers and such

Title: Re: DJ Quik-Under the Influence
Post by: Eddie G. on July 03, 2004, 12:04:15 PM: I love both B&O and UTI, but B&O is a lot better and has Quik's signature sound on it. I think the problem with B&O is that there's no central theme to the album, its essentially a bunch of tracks thrown together. Also, if you really listen, there's little to no emotion in Quik's voice in that album, it's like he didn't give a fuck. You could tell Quik put a lot of effort into UTI, but I just wasn't feelin the new sound as much as his old one.
