As long as he makes paper off of it, he'll do another album.
-
it's not a classic, safe n sound is a classic
-
hes getting like 5 dollars for each album, so hese already made like 170 thousand dollars...quik doesnt give a fuck about fame he wants the money, that why he went independent...
I bet quik has never seen this much money so fast in his life...
-
thatsok...i hope he has a good deal and really gets the money

Those are good numbers for no real promo. Just imagine if he actually promo'd the album. Oh well... this just proves the West Coast can never do shit right.
-
This album is the best westcoast album this year BY far.
-
It's a shame...almost every song from that album can be a single/video too...

exactly, Quik said it himself he wants a grammy, and he wants the recognition he deserves for his shit... i dont know what he expected with the sales, but i would imagine he isnt too happy with 30k in first week, when artists on similar levels as him talent wise (kanye west) are out selling him..
-
A few of my friends that don't listen to anything but the radio even liked that "Let Me Know" song. Quik has major crossover appeal. All he needed to do was put his shit out there to the masses and he didn't. I'm sure he'll sell a few thousands more and do some concerts, so he'll probably be making $500k real quick. I wish I could do that in a little less than a year. He could have done so much better though.

no!!!!!
trauma shits all over game and the documentary

Honestly nobody (Quik included) really belived he was gonna sell too many the way shit was going on just before his release date.
Everybody was just kinda hoping he would sell. Nobody was really giving an effort for quik to get heard (internet interviews aside).
-
quik doesnt give a fuck about fame he wants the money, that why he went independent...
he was talking about winning grammys so....ya he does want the fame
peace
-
Quik died when after Balance & Options dropped, that was his last solid effort. All this UTI and Trauma shit aint even all dat tite, i betcha 5 months from now that album won't even be in anyones cd player.
-
trauma will be on mine but i get wot u sayin bout uti but

Trauma >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the Documentary

The Documentary
nah dude, not even close. Game can't touch Quik on the mic. Overall the production is better on Trauma too. Game got 7 or 8 nice beats, and maybe 3 or 4 classic songs. Trauma has no fillers, and is all quality, unlike the Doc. Plus Game's 2 nate dogg songs were weak as hell. AMG's 2 versuses are also better then almost all Games on the doc.
-
Quik came correct on Trauma, and as much as I think Game got skills, The Documentary don't have a muthafuckin thang on Trauma. Tha production is fuckin incredible and peepz are goin give it the recognition it deserves after a while. Quik is truly a musical genious.\\

-
Quik wanted these low numbers coz he barely had any promo for tha album
-
lol yall got some special ears when it comes to DJ Quik and Warren G. "Trauma" is coo, but come on yall overdoin it. "the production is amazing". NO! the last time Quik made an album that had me like whoa was "Rhythm-Al-Ism"

I heard some "Whoa!" beats on "Balance and Options", for instance when he kicks the extension cord out of the wall on "Pitch in on a party" and makes it rain with mauseburg in that one song, or there's a song where he keeps censoring the wrong words with 'bleeps' and shit.

yeah a few tracks. but im likin "Rhythm-Al-Ism" as a complete album. even the love songs were on point.
-
thats fucked up!!the west dont support their own...then yall complain about the shit.I love the west,but you niggaz own some "moe"shit some times....support your own muthafuckaz!!wessup niggaz!!! :scarface:

yeah people is overrating Trauma it's a good album but it ain't touching The Documentary that's the best album from the westcoast since 2001
-
those are good #'s for an indy.
-
Man, I really hope this album really picks up on sales. Quik deserves it, you all know Quik should've gotten his platinum plaques way before a lot of these Ja Rules and fools in the game nowadays.
And whatever record anybody thinks is best, there's no fuckin' denying that Trauma is some bomb-ass shit. Don't matter really if The Documentary is better or if Trauma is better - that's a matter of taste. What matters is that both have one thing in common - quality. The one thing all music today doesn't, sadly, have. A lot of the shit in record stores today sound like they were all made on the same assembly line in some factory. Not Trauma though - Trauma is on that hand-crafted-from-the-best-materials level.
They really need to promote the album with a video or a tour or something. People are missing out on some great music right now. People should be hearing this. AND Quik should be making the money he rightfully deserves for his efforts - on Trauma and all his past records.

^^^^^Exactly
then they complain and say tha East this tha East that when tha problem is from our own fuckin' fans who don't support tha artist. All these muthafuckas do is download tha albums an complain about tha featured artist and all tha other bullshit. Keep comparing this album to that album. Once you make an album that's it no matter what you will never make an album sounding tha same it might be close but that's it.
So Baby G you can stop complaining about Trauma an comparing it to Rhythm-A-Lism coz it's not an never will be don't forget it's Trauma not Trauma-A-Lism ::)

okay dummy peep this. when an artist does an album, i think they should always make it better than their previous albums. everyone is saying "Trauma" is classic. my point is, this album is alright but he can do better. a lot better.

STOP WITH the excuses,face it,quik and his company didn't market this album but to the west coast,yeah he went to the east but he didn't build up his hype for the album,i know alot of people who didn't know it came out,plus fandango?????/ was a bad choice of single,nobody in the hood really know what the fucc the fandango is!!!!!!!!!!!!!,yeah the production on that song is hard,crisp sounds are perfect,but the concept fucc'n succs and yall know it,but yall so much hard core fans and got yo heads up his ass yall don't look at that, the difference between the documetary and quiks album is game covered more bases, as far as location go,he made an album that was different for a west coast artist it didn't contain the starndard sound that we are known for and it worked,plus that g-unit connect hate if you want to but g-unit is doing they thang and they helped game,quiks album is good,i bang it and enjoy it,his sales don't mean shit to me,i ain't seeing that money,so all that matters to me is i like the album,i tell people about it if they get it cool if not,it's not killing me,and it's alot of people who bootlegged it and didn't purchase it either,so fucc crying for another equal,i only will make a big fuss for my self,much respect to true quik fans tho for supporting dude without bitchin yell

lmao I can see that
-
quik went from a big deal on quite a big label who might of or might not of promoted him well but then he was on like some independant thing with a cheap ass cd cover and not even a video. i'm dissapointed for quik cause his music is definitely on some next level shit. real shame.
-

I cant wait for Quik to drop a new video--Need a Home DVD

-
damn i hate to say but i told you quik fans that quiks dayz were over and its a shame becuz he is talented and i grew up on quiks music !
and i cant belive mc eiht is independent and had no video or radio play but his last album veterans day stayed at #63 on the billboard charts for a few weeks and did very good and it seems like quik has so many fans but still cant make it over the top and he's get exposure in magazines and television commercial's and internet sites but i hope he picks up and drops a video or something !!!!!!
-
^^^^^How is his days over when he still rhyme like he did back then ???
his lyrics are still on point and his production has gotten better his low sales are due to por promotion. If he was on Interscope or aftermath he would've gotten major promotion an his sales will definately be high.
-
dre needs to sign him jus so quik can get dre's name and interscope's promotion in there...quik could do the album all by himself like he did trauma....jus get it out in 5-6 months like he did trauma...aftermath just for the promotion he doesnt need dre or any1....but without promotion he's going nowhere
peace
-
this album had ZERO promo, NO video
I totally expected these numbers

dont say eiht had no promotion... coz i remember that shit was being promoted... as much as trauma...
and to all the people saying he needs to be signed to aftermath.. quik will never sell a solo album that will sell like dre or 50 or eminem, EVER... quik doesnt appeal to the masses like dre, not everyone likes quiks flow and voice, his production is awesome, but quik solo cd's are for quik fans only...

that's bullshit, songs like Black Mercedes, Get Up, Get Down, Indiscretions In The Back Of The Limo and Ladies And Thugs could easily be loved by any of the "average" rap fans..
Dj Quik's shit aint something for the underground heads... his production and raps have a really "commercial appeal", it's easy listenable, there's catchy hooks, and funny raps...
With the right promotion, Quik would sell heeps of records...
-
he needs to knwo that if he does a video for Black Mercedes, he will have a hit on his hands...and that will boost sales through the roof.
-
he should have a poll on his website so his fans can select his video like many other artists do...thats if he is getting a video....seems very unlikely to me that he will its been almost a month since the album came out
peace

who gives a fuck..........
-
You listen to Nelly Furtado............... :loser:
-
i'm a pick up a copy when i head to detroit this week, cause it hasn't arrived in canada yet but the album is awesome, any hiphop or funk lover should have this album, peace.

Quik is still a O.G.- He just gotta keep up with the New School---
