Kurupt keeps on repeating the same rhymes over & over and its like he dont even put any time into making dope lyrics anymore like the Dogg Food days . Blaqout was a big dissapointment . They fell of hard . 8) 8)

I'll admit the production on some of the tracks were questionable, but lyrics were decent enuff.. I dont think they will ever be able to reach Dogg Food or Safe + Sound status anymore though.. Snoop will never be on Doggystyles level just like Daz will never reach Chronic level rhyming anymore... Its not that times changed, its that they arent focusing anymore and they think that the fans dont notice the drop off in lyrics

I just finaly had time to Bang the full album last night and BLAQKOUT is FIRE!

Aww come on, there's no harm in carrying on a beef that Eiht and Quik buried over 10 years ago ;D

Honestly, I agree with the OG poster. I love Quik, still in my top 3 producers but the CD sucks as a whole. There nice tracks on there. I repsect what he did going out the box in arrangements and doing weird stuff but it all sucks. I think Fixxers album was better that this. Sorry, not hate. Quik is my dude and Kurupt was my top 3 lyricist also, in the death row days. album just sucks

Dope album
-
Overall, VERY DISAPPOINTING. "The Appeal" "Cream" & "BlaQKout" stood out but not enough to save this album from going down as DJ Quik's WORST attempt. Unacceptable work from such a talented artist in my opinion. Production quality was compromised and lyrics suffer immensely. How this album ever reached mass production to a CD I will never know. I love DJ Quik but he really let me down. I was counting the days to pick up this album and it SO was NOT worth the wait. Hopefully he can pick up the pieces with an exceptional solo LP or a major reunion album with Suga Free. Where's Rob Bacon???
-
That's just your opinion. It's MY opinion that this is a solid album and certainly not terrible by any means. I thought there were a couple of fillers, which are not excusable on such a short album though. The quality tracks are insane though and I'm definitely happy that this project happened.
-
Music fans are so dumb sometimes. Do you really think an artist can reach their prime and stay in it for the rest of their life? Your saying hes using the same rhymes then go on to say why cant he write it like the dog food days..Maybe you are just one of those unintelligent people who are stuck in the past...like JOB...you guys should hang out.

Suga Free being on there wouldn't have done shit for the album. DJ Quik is not made by Suga Free. Whereas on the other hand, Suga Free is pretty much nobody without Quik. That's not to say I don't like Suga Free, but c'mon man, Quik has done plenty of stuff without Suga Free.
And I agree 100% with Effex. There are some fillers, but overall the dope tracks are off the fucking chain. You can't tell me that the first 3 tracks aren't that classic, dope DJ Quik we love. Throw Hey Playa and Fuck Ya'll in the mix and that's already half the album of pure fire.
-
Why is there a must you hate on them so much lol, the beef between Quik & eiht has been over years ago, and you still hold a mad grudge against Q, i dunno G, but continue to hate, we need people like u, hater's make this world interesting, lol, oh and Hey be happy Quik gave Eiht a shout out on the album.. lol.

dont know how anyone can keep saying this shit isnt dope ???

Blaqkout, Cream, and The Appeal are the best tracks on the album. Fuck You and Hey Playa are decent too. The rest sucks pretty much. You can tell he tried to make a few songs for everyone. He made some for his mid-90's fans, then he made a few songs that sound like what's currently hot. Then he made a few futuristic/experimental type tracks. Looks like he tried to please everyone. Getting back with G-One was a big plus though, you can certainly hear that in the instruments. G-one's signature sound is there in a few of the songs. The Blaqkout track esp. sounds like something straight from Rhythmalism. Album is just too short, and with 2 versions of the same (shitty) track, that doesn't help. I'm just keeping the 5 tracks I like and add a few others from other things he's done recently and it'll be a decent compilation CD. I knew there was no way this album could live up to the hype. At first it went from Quik saying him and Kurupt were just messing around in the studio and made a few tracks, then enough people convinced them to make an album out of it....so i had a feeling there wasn't a TON of effort put into it. BTW, whatever happened to the song they were supposed to have with Rakim? In this day and age, I feel lucky we were even able to get a taste of the old Quik on a few songs. People like Warren G have totally left their old popular sound behind, at least Quik tried to throw a few songs to his older fans.
-
Well, Quik and Kurupt are vets now... they dont have to be relevent as emcees anymore, they already prove what they were capable of...
They make music for fans and they advertised us that this record would be a party album.
I really dont care about their lyrics even tho I think they have couple funny rhymes here and there on the record.
And yes Quik aint what he used to be behind the MPC but well here he deserves some enjoyable beats that fits album theme (party and havin fun)
Now I dunno about Quik philosophy or future projects but I think Kurupt is about to get back on his shit and will drop a lyrically brutal record
with Terrace Martin according to the songs that got leaked

Dope album
just wondering, how is it more grown up when the album was meant to be accessible ???
-
There are a couple questionable songs on here, but all in all it was a solid album.
Hey Playa is the best song to come out the west in years, thats one of those tracks that just instantly catches your ear and doesn't dissapoint.
But anyways I'm sure we could use a couple more threads about how Blaqkout sucks... fucking nerds
-
Did he really give a shout out to eiht? haha
He did on "You'z A Gangsta" from Rhythmalism saying he'd do a track with Eiht, and just recently he was doing stuff with Snoop for EgoTrippin while MC Eiht was on Doggystyle Records with The Warzone, so i'm sure they crossed paths. Their beef is squashed.

Yeah, I don't know what people expect. 5/6 out of 12 songs are good. That's all we're going to get from artists these days. Quik's not going to make an album that sounds like Safe + Sound or Rhythmalism, as much as we all want him to. He said himself he's not going to do that....so just be thankful that half the album has that sound. I think it's better than Under The Influence and about the same as Trauma. Not his best album, but certainly not as bad as everyone is making it out to be. One of the best albums of '09, that's for sure.

Grown up, as in they don't have to prove anything anymore...
They already been thru it, done it, spit & played it all. It's all about reaping the benefits now.
BlaQKout is a celebration.

Exactly, i wish DJ Quik would have made more beats like "Blaqkout", that is the dopest song on the album. Ain't they workin' on a new album though?
I remember Kurupt sayin' somethin' like that in some new interview.

Yeah, I agree. I know they did say they were going to work on Blaqkout 2. Now whether that will ever see the light of day or not remains to be seen, as that's probably years down the road. Quik was pretty much retired until this year when he started to get back into the music, so I figure anything we get from Quik from here on out is just a bonus.
-
Yeah I mean quik tried a couple things out. The beats on the album are a bit out there at times and sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I got to commend the guy for experimenting.
-
Yeah Quik gave Mc Eiht a shout out on his thank you's on the blaqkout booklet,
And also for the people doubting quik's music, that he will never reach his levels of safe + sound & rhythm-al-ism,
Ya never know he just might surpass that, remember quik's new solo, is next, and I'm not sure what song is gonna make it or what not, but if y'all heard what he has cooked up for the next album, whoa!, I'll tell u one thing he's back to that rhythm-al-ism vibe, and with the help of G-1, Rob Bacon, & Terrace Martin, only make it better..

Yeah i know on youz a gangsta but i guess i understood that he gave him a shout out on blaqkout my bad
-
what the fuck are you guys talking about, this cd is the shit! there are a ton of good songs on here. 8)
-
This albums has at least 5 OUTSTANDING songs and 3 or 4 very good tracks. Sure a filler or 2 but which album doesnt have that ?????
I think its a great album, people were expecting way too much from this album.
Its just something to chill to in the summer, nothing more.
My top 5.
1. Hey Playa
2. Do u Know
3. Ohh!
4. The Appeal
5. Cream in ya Panties
Excellent album !
-
albums the shiznit fuck yall talkin bout?
-
IMO its a overhyped album (was)
prefer older kurupt and quik
i think people were expectin some jus incredible detox type shit
some muzik from quik n kurupt that they had never spit or made before

So apparently growing up means you stop being lyrical? It should be the other way around. When's the last time Kurupt spit a verse like on "New York New York?" The verses weren't terrible, but they weren't good either.
-
the most "90s" tracks (intro and Cream) are the best tracks on the album
-
Kurupt can still spit he proved it on that Homage to pete rock song, as for the album., its a good album to ride or to vibe to, when I listen to a quik record I do it for the sound anyway
-
people like this album,and they askin whats reason for weast coast flop ::)
-
Yeah i know , Blaqout was a big let down . terrible album
-
I don't mean to bash just my opinion...but how can you say this album has TONS of good songs when there are only 13 tracks and one of those is a skit, the other a remix and another thats pretty much instrumental. That leaves 10 real tracks and i would say maybe 3 of those are good. I think the problem with this album is that its missing heaters...theres no stand out jam that makes you say daaaamn like all the other previous quik albums had. I would say cream is the closest I get to a heater on this cd. Like many I don't think the album is garbage but it isn't close to great either.
-
How can people say that Kurupt hasn't been on his game lately, this is clearly a sign of people wanting to stay stuck in the 90s. Kurupt BEEN bringing the heat for a minute now and if his work with Terrace and Quik isn't evidence of this, I don't know what is.
-

One hot verse this year doesn't cut it. You can't claim to be a lyricist if half of your songs aren't very lyrical.

8) Album is dope "Fuck Y'all"

2. Cream <- ;D banging beat
3. Do You Know <- :) ok song, not that bad at all

so i got 9 quality tracks for 9.99 it was worth it for me
-
BlaQKout is the type of album that, in a month from now, people won't even remember was released. It has a VERY short shelf life.
-
I think its an incomplete album to tell you the truth but i think its a great album

This albums has at least 5 OUTSTANDING songs and 3 or 4 very good tracks. Sure a filler or 2 but which album doesnt have that ?????

How many tracks have you heard from his new solo album ?
-
I don't even know what some of you are on in calling this a terrible album. If you thought going in that you were going to get some Death Row era Kurupt on some 90's Quik beats then you weren't paying attention. They said in the promo that this was gonna be an experimental album and it would be on some different shit and to me, it worked. I'm enjoying the fuck out of the album. If anything, my only complaint is how short the album is with only 12 tracks with most under three minutes. I'll probably have to take a few more listens before I can formulate a real opinion but upon first listen, I really like the record.
The fact is most of you who are hating on the record are probably on some childish shit anyway. There was this version of the album you built up in your minds and when it didn't turn out that way, you refused to accept it for what it was. It's not Quik's equivalent of "Detox" so now it's the biggest piece of garbage album you've ever heard.
To me, it's $9.99 well spent. A new Quik album just in time for the summer.

OFFICal review
overall that adds up to 79 outta 130..... which is 6 /10......
but cuz one is a skit... i will rank it 7/10 overall... im happy..
it has been gettin lots of replay value so far after 2 days
-
So just because we arent feeling the more mainstream vibe they used on this album all of the sudden we're childish? Im 29 bro I don't wanna hear no playful beats with meaningless rhymes. I want rhymes that paint pictures in my head and beats that sound raw. Aint even gotta be 90's quik beats cause i was totally feeling under tha influence n trauma. Fact of the matter is I think westcoast rap is horrible right now and has been for the past few years and and some cats are just willing to take whatever they give us and call it great just because thats all we're getting from them.
-
Just skimmed over the album will listen in more detail. to me it sounds dope. not classic but good enuff

No. It's not an issue of whether people feel it or not. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. It's this whole "hyperbole" mentality that a lot of you have and I'm not necessarily saying it's you. Cats build this record up in their head like it's going to be the biggest album ever or on par with this or whatever and then when it isn't the record they wanted or expected, their disappointment goes into overdrive and it becomes the "most terrible, shitty album of all time". The reviews are more about your unmatched expectations for the album than the actual quality of the album.

Co-sign.. Every song from beginning to end is ass
-
I think what happens to these artists is that they feel if they make a more universal record that will appeal to a more broad audience and make them more money and put them in for forefront of mainstream hip hop, but these guys have been there already and i doubt it will happen again. Its seems like quik tried to sorta do what sounds hott right now like "do you know" kinda has a kanye beat/vibe to it.

Oh so this wasn't meant to experiment but to sell mad loads of records and become a mainstream hit? I think what happens is that i'm gonna call you a moron.

Oh so this wasn't meant to experiment but to sell mad loads of records and become a mainstream hit? I think what happens is that i'm gonna call you a moron.
I agree with quiksta, his thoughts are similar to mine in this thread I made a few days back

Settle down booz im expressing my opinion which im entitled to. We all know these guys arent making music strictly for the love of music this is their job and they gonna do what they think will get them that money. Now i think im gonna say your pathetic for trying to spit on me like i came up with this off the wall idea. Don't hate just cause I don't see it the way you do little guy.

So just because we arent feeling the more mainstream vibe they used on this album all of the sudden we're childish? Im 29 bro I don't wanna hear no playful beats with meaningless rhymes. I want rhymes that paint pictures in my head and beats that sound raw. Aint even gotta be 90's quik beats cause i was totally feeling under tha influence n trauma. Fact of the matter is I think westcoast rap is horrible right now and has been for the past few years and and some cats are just willing to take whatever they give us and call it great just because thats all we're getting from them.
When was west coast rap about painting pictures in your head? Aside from Pac, Cube and some other cats, a good deal of west coast rap during the 90s was playful beats with meaningless rhymes (IE Snoop, Dre). If you want rhymes that paint a picture in your head then why the fuck are you even checking for Quik? He's on the same tip now he was during the 90s. Dude was never lyrical.
-
yeah the majority of people i talk to that heard it , said it was a pretty bad album , maybe 2 alright songs .
-
i think the album is good the only thing i don't like about it is that its too short and they got whatcha wanna do on their twice..other than that its pretty good album but like another poster said if your lookin for 90's quik and kurupt you will be very disappointed
-
This album sounds like tracks are thrown together. It does not sound like an album.
And Problem is fucking annoying. I hope he will disappear like Jimmy Hoffa.

No. It's not an issue of whether people feel it or not. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. It's this whole "hyperbole" mentality that a lot of you have and I'm not necessarily saying it's you. Cats build this record up in their head like it's going to be the biggest album ever or on par with this or whatever and then when it isn't the record they wanted or expected, their disappointment goes into overdrive and it becomes the "most terrible, shitty album of all time". The reviews are more about your unmatched expectations for the album than the actual quality of the album.
+1, good post

Damn, I called it back in January...people expecting too much.
well quik has said its gonna be a more commercial kind of vibe so some people are definitely going to dislike it for that reason. personally i anticipate it more cause its not gonna be on no fixxers shit, its gonna be a crazy new twist on the quik sound...
That's cool....Quik can keep progressing his sound, Kurupt coming nice on the mic lately. I'm sure the sound won't be as basic as the Fixxers stuff.
And let's be honest, anyone who thinks this will be Safe + Sound crossed with Dogg Food is in for a disappointment.

actually rapsodie there are westcoast cats that paint pictures in your head listen to suga frees on street gospel and even on sunday school and you'll get images of the stuff he be talking about and the comment you made about 90's stuff being playufl i wouldnt necessarily call it playful i would call it funky...big difference.
-
The album isn't bad, but i hope they would've made more songs like "Blackqout". There's somethin for everyone on this album.

Of course there are. There's a whole gang of them. Most of the rappers I listen to are from the west coast, about half of them are what people call "alternative." There's deep rappers from every coast, even the south. But most of the mainstream west coast rap during the 90s were doing the so-called "funky" music, Quik included. And there's not really a difference between his rhymes from the 90s and his rhymes now. Quik was never a poet.
-
nice to see my quote from back in january up there :laugh:
it was real obvious that the album would be 'electic' as quik put it, with a different kind of vibe to his normal stuff.
i personally think the album is a real treat with some mad sounds and crisp mixing that is light years aheads of what most cats are doing. sure, there isn't any deep lyrics or anything, but is was pretty obvious from the get-go that this was made to be amusing and light hearted. i was slightly dissapointed with kurupt though, i thought he might be able to ride the beats a bit better.
'the appeal' is my favourite track of '09 so far...'fuck y'all' 'hey playa' are also classic tracks and there's still more great stuff on the album 8)

What happened to DJ Quik ? his beats suck these days . they sound too generic and plain . Kurupt keeps on repeating the same rhymes over & over and its like he dont even put any time into making dope lyrics anymore like the Dogg Food days . Blaqout was a big dissapointment . They fell of hard . 8) 8)
I'll admit the production on some of the tracks were questionable, but lyrics were decent enuff..
-
You right on with that rapsodie. I guess i was vague in what I hold as good lyrics. They don't necessarily have to paint pictures in my head but atleast I expect some more clever lyrics then I got on blaqkout...i know quik never been a lyricist but I heard him on some better sh*t then this like "im spoiled so my muthaf*ckin bucket is a benz" haha. Maybe i would have to really let this album marinate to start disecting the lyrics more but overall i have tried to play it and it just doesnt hold my attention. No disrespect to those that like it though different stroked for different folks right
-
Blaqout was a low budget album , it sounds like they made it in 1 week with no effort put in . Quik and Kurupt havent dropped anything dope in a long time . i guess thats why it flopped pretty bad 10,000 copies sold . crazy stuff

The flows are cool but the star of this album is that smooth Production by Quik ;D

I gotta say that this album was dope considering Quik did it for the fans and the streets! Quik is my boy we chill all the time in the studio and I watched him over the last year when he was working on this project!! He would pull me out of my session to show me what he was working on in the studio and I thought it was dope cause it was different from what he usually does!! Im not just saying that cause I know him and he's my boy but respectfully he has always been one of my favorite producers and artist since the 90's... I appreciate a true artist when I meet one!! and Quik is a Legend in the game!! Im glad to see him still working on his shit!! He has shit that nobody has heard that is dope!! Its a privileged to know him and get advice from the dude!!
And lyrics???
Quik got lyrics! the night we met we free styled in the studio till 4 in the morning smoking blunts!!!
Yo Quik if you read this? its your boy Dreamz! Like I told you homie keep doing what your doing!!
Stay up!!
