DJ Quik released this album 10 years ago from this day. "Safe + Sound" is a Quik Classic and has the Classic song and arguably the best diss song ever recorded, 'Dollaz + Sense'. This song ripped MC eiht apart with Quiks Clever lines and is a classic example of someone getting clowned. On this album Quik experminted with P-Funk and the Talk Box. This album is Quiks most lyrical and gangsta album and was Exectively produced by Suge Knight CEO of Death Row Records. To me this is quiks second best album behind Rythm-al-ism and is one of my top favorite albums ever.
Best songs are:
1. Dollaz + Sense
2. Safe & Sound
3. Something 4 tha Mood
4. Diggin U out
5. Summer Breeze
overall a 5/5 album...Classic

'Dollaz + Sense' was the first Quik song I heard and Safe + Sound was the first Quik album I bought.
I've been a fan ever since. Today I consider Quik my favourite artist bar none - this is the album that started it, so it's an undisputed classic to me.
It's got everything you want from a rap album - it's hard in places, smooth in others. There are gangsta tracks, party tracks, songs you can chill to, songs you can play with your girl... it covers hip-hop, funk, soul, jazz... it's perfect IMO.
-
One of the best albums ever made, hopefully Quik's new one will be dope too.
-
yeah no doubt.. classical shit on this album! safe + sound is the best dj quik song ever! nuff said

my favorite quik album. when i interviewed quik earlier in december, i had him autograph this poster, and he was hella tripped out. he dont even remember this picture or the pose, cos it wasnt even in the booklet or nothing, plus the fact that it was a promo poster from ten years ago. when he saw like the P on his hat, and all the red, he was like "damn i used to be such a gangsta". i could tell that he wanted to keep it, but anyways on the poster he signed "4 justin... stay fonky... dj quik compton, calif"

I downloaded this the other day....
I dunno why, i really wanted to like this album, i dont NOT like it, i've heard it briefly for about 10 mins skipping through tracks..
Its not that its older rap, i love Gang Starr stuff...
Just not feeling it right now, hoping it might grow on me though...
I'm not hating on this CD btw.

My favorite Quik album
co sign... I got a lot of memories listening to that album. first time I ever smoked weed I was bumpin' something for tha mood.
-
^ not 1st time i smoked weed, but i was in my homies car, and i was like, i got a really dope cd, but we will only listen after we smoke, we got high as shit, and i put it on, they all loved it, my 1 friend dont even like rap that much,but he was enjoying it so much, ...
-
10 outta 10 album IMO.. this and Quik Is The Name are tied for his best cd... i think the best song is Get At Me, i love that song the scratchin in the beginin is so dam tite even though he used it in songs b4 that
-
This album is amazing, Quik is definetly one of my favourite artists, any genre.
-
Very dope album, but not my fav album from him.
The production is sick and Quik is on point, but there's a few too many songs about pussy on this one.....other than that, its a hot album. However, "Way Too Fonky" and "Rhytm-al-ism" are probably my fav Quik albums.
-
They don't make em like the used to... Well, Quik still does IMO.
Hard to belive it's been 10 years...
-
1st quik album i heard, my fav, dope ass album, 1 of my favs
I can't tell for sure if it's my fav Quik album, cause that usually depends on my mood, but it's definitely on my top5 of all times. I got introduced to Quik thru it, and that brings the memories!

This album easily belongs next to Chronic and Doggystyle. In my opinion the production was even greater. Quik hasn't been making shit like this for awhile, hes on some other shit now. Its still tight but I wish he would go back to the Safe and Sound days. So many good songs to choose from on this album I cant pick a favorite. The ones I bump the most are:
Get At Me (That song with cameo sample gets me sooo pumped up, and the scratches are ridiculous; 2, 2 2 2 2 quik)
Let U Have It (That beat was fucking hard, and the original longer version is dope as fuck too)
Tanqueray (Makes me wanna get wasted everytime i hear this track)
Dollaz & Sense (No explanation needed)
-
safe & sound is a dope album, One of quiks best and a west coast classic. But imho, i would say "quik is the name" is better. I agree safe & sound belongs next to the chronic, and doggystyle, i would also say that "quik is the name" belongs next to str8 outta compton or any other clasic album from that era.......man i rememer when that song "tonite" came out, that shit was the bomb!! at the time, very few (if any) other artist had that laid back gangster sound. After that song "tonite" came out, i dont remember hearing shit like that again until dre and snoop came out with "nothin but a g thang" on the chronic album....."way 2 fonky" is a clasic album too!!
Peace

This is still, after 10 years, my favourite album.. A true masterpiece.
