Anyone who says he's changed his style for the worst needs a slapping.

I just copped this joint and I've listened half way and it's tight. I still like his previous shit better, but I'm lovin' this too.

:-/...  I dunno.  I just got done listening to "1 On One" and so far I like his previous work much better.  I don't know what it is.  Maybe not enough El/James Debarge, talkbox or funky beats.  Maybe this will gro won me.

Im off early today.. to go pickup this album.  

But I must be real.. His "new style" is nothing special.  I was expecting much more but Im satisfied.  I still want this album OG.

Sorry Nino.. your gonna have to slap me then.  This album IMO isnt as good as his last two.  It has its moments of greatness though.. for sure.  I know that you really dig the song "One On 1" and I agree totally with you on this track.  Peace dogg.

i havent had a chance to really get into every track but i have some complaints or criticizim i think its a pretty hot album

but... the chorus on 50 wayz blows what the hell is that? james debarge would have been perfect on that chorus didnt need nothing elaborate but something better than just la lala la laal al la la woulda been nice...

secondly birds and beez, put it on me, oh well are all 3 months to a year old.. hell oh well was released when b & o dropped

come tonite seems like it wasnt mixed right...

personally i think suga free woulda been hot on sex crymee kinda like do i love her 2 it sounded like

my highlights.. well on most tracks quiks production seemed a lot more polished the bass hit harder for me and was a lot clearer overall...

proem and murda one case i liked a lot

sex crymee had a sick beat that is my fav jam right now

50 ways is real hot except for the chorus

everyday sounds dope in the ride and overall

i like the new quiks groove but woulda liked more diversity it dint change up much

chopins groove was ehh to me.. not really worth waiting like 3 minutes of silence for it to come on

although lol who am i to criticize i cant make music like quik and this is a hot CD just thought t coulda been better easily

I'm starting to listen to it a 2nd time through.  "Proem" and "Come 2Nyte" are tight.  But Quik should have left off those old songs, especially "Oh Well."  Bad move.  Also, what happened to "Chopin's Groove?"  It's not on my album.  After the last track on the album ends, it just keeps going, but there is no audio.  Wierd.

Well I've listened to it a couple times now and I'm starting to feel it. I really enjoyed the previous shit though. Like others said, this album has its highlights and it's low points.

;D ;D ;D

Honestly this is a tight album but not as good as his last two. He sort of has left his funky style a little and the talkbox as well. My favorite Quik album is definitely Rhythmalism.
Iam not complaining though cause this cd is tight and I needed some new DJ Quik to bump,

I give this cd a 7.5/10, not classic but good

Yeah. A low point for me was 'Get Tha Money' feat. Suga Free, didn't think much of that track  :-/

That's cool. This album is pretty tight. I've only heard it once all tha way through though. I barely bought it today.. Didnt' have enough time to pick it up yesterday. I'm glad and kind of releaved. I was expecting his shit to sound way different from tha shit he was sayin on interviews.. but to tell you tha truth, It's tha same'ol Quik IMO. It doesn't sound different.. just updated. On tha real.. I think I could have recognized those beats as Dj Quik material easily. This cd is another dope addition to tha 5 he already has. Fits in perfectly...


Has tha whole crew on it too... AMG, Suga Free, KK, Hi C, tha Debarges.. it's just dope too hear new material from them period.

Oh, Something that tripped me out.. check out tha last page on tha lil booklet. He has two of Hi C's old ass cd's  under "Coming Soon"... I wonder why he did that? Maybe he was under the influence when they designed the Booklet.

Incognito: My Cd Case lists 16 Tracks. But the cd only goes up to track 15. Track 15 is "Oh Well"... after that song is over.... it keeps going, it's blank, up till you hear to 8 minutes and 23 seconds. This song starts playin, I guess that's track 16, and also might be "Chopin's Groove"... I don't know though.

It's a decent album, but I was expecting to hear something better.  When I first heard this album was gonna be called "Safe N Sound 2", I thought it was gonna be the shit.  It's a shame; Quik said he regrets that album.  I think it's his best one.

Have you notice in the Thank You's, DJ Quik Appretiative of Dr. Dre:

Dr. Dre “you made it so I don’t have to work a regular job.  I’m appreciative”.

My Interpretation:  
It’s been a while since Quik had a ‘Single – Release’ that’s basically burning up the charts (nationally) and it’s the 1st single off Truth’s Album and he appreciates Dre for that.  Also, this keeps the doors open for Quik to continue to work with Dre on future projects.  As for as Production, you know Dre is paying Top Dollars for the tracks.
