DJ QUICK - BALANCE AND OPTIONS

[Machiavelli]

i love this cd....

if there were no covers and skits, think how pure and sweet this album would have been

yeah exactually...Balance & Options is the ONLY quik album that I CANT listen start to finish. Now dont get me wrong.


Tracks 1-5 are amazing and some of his best shit

Track 7 a pointless stupid skit

6-9 are dope and also some of the his best shit

Track 10 you got another pointless skit
Track 11 is a remake of Eazy's song which is a dope but a filler
Track 13 another pointless skit
Track 13 (Speak on It)sounds incomplete, which features 

Tracks 14-19 amazing. The outro is on some future shit

If B&O could of replaced the 5 tracks mentioned it would of been probably quiks best work along with Rythm-ali-ism. It has really dope songs some which are my favorite(Rogers Grove, We Came to Play, Pitch in ona Party, Well, Do I love her, ect...But as an album it seems like it was rushed and quik didnt really care about so it was incomplete. Thats why its his worst album IMO; either way its still dope and I bump the songs off it regularly and it still murders most shit out now a days...

[Teddy Roosevelt]

The only album Quik dissapointed on was "Under Tha Influence", which is complete and utter garbage...Sound quality alone kills the album, along with a lot of more misses than hits...

UTI was garbage. Good thing he bounced back with Trauma

[J Bananas]

GET RHYTHM-AL-ISM.....YOU WILL BE BLOWN THE FUCK AWAY, seriously its worth paying for you can go track 1 to the end no skips

[WestCoasta]

man UTI was fuckin awesome, don't get why not many like it


Balance & Options is probably up there as my favorite with Rhythm-al-ism and Trauma

[Paul]

i love quik man, prob the most gifted guy in hip hop

balance and options is amazing but i agree with Machiavelli ther is a bit in the middle which i skip

quik is the name 5/5
way 2 fonky 5/5
safe and sound - unbelievable 6/5
rhthm al ism - mind blowing 10/5
balance and options 5/5
under tha influence 4/5
trauma 4.5/5

the guy imo is the most consistant artist in hip hop

[soopadoopaflykid]

balance & options is a great album but I think rhythm-al-ism is a way better album. The production on rhythm-al-ism is sooo untouchable. Quik did a certain style of production which can only really be heard rhythm-al-ism

[Juronimo]

Balance and Options is my favorite Quik album. It's not as bold as Rhythmalism musically but it sounds more polished and it's just so smooth.

OK here's the story. I know alot of you guys on here really really like this guys music and after listening to numerous peoples opinions about him over the years i decided to buy an album of his for myself. the album i bought was balance and options, ive been an avid hip hop fan for ten years bearing in mind.

and i can honestley say the album is brilliant and the propduction is dope. ive recentley just became sick of the recent hip hop which lacks direction and inovation and this album has just really freshened me up again.

any way just a few thoughts.

great choice of an album


now go get Safe and Sound(his best album), then Rythmalism

[Chief]

Rhythm-a-lism shit on all quik albums.  one of the best rap albums ever. 

[keepin_it_real]

Balance & Options is dope from start 2 finish, but I still think Under Tha Influence is one of those albums that takes a while 2 grow on u, I didnt feel it at 1st, but now I like it even if its not as good as his other albums.
