Can U Werk Wit Dat = LAFFY TAFFY pt. 2....

[jeromechickenbone]

Listen yall, I feel like it's my duty to point some shit out here.  And I'm only doing this because I think it's damn near a tragedy to hear Quik resort to this level of desperation.  This whole "The Fixxxers" project is a complete joke.  Its a front.  This is about as manufactured and synthetic as "music" can get.  This is BLATANT biting, BLATANT selling out, and artists need to be accountable for this bullshit. 

Now, I've already been saying this shit since I first heard the track "Can U Werk Wit Dat" about a month ago.  I said my peace on it in a couple threads, but never got too deep.  Mostly because I viewed it as so sad and pathetic, I really couldn't put it into words.  But then I just peeped the vid that the homie Rik upped for us, and I had to say some more.  Just when I thought that shit couldn't get any worse, it completely reinforced evertything I've been saying.

This song is so bad on MANY levels.  LMFAO at all the ringtone advertisements in that cliched ass video.  This song was strictly built to be sold as a ringtone, just like "Laffy Taffy".  Just a 5 second loop with that gay ass keyboard and "can u werk with dat" recited a billion fucking times.  HOW DO YOU GUYS LIKE THIS SHIT!?  Yall are being played like a motherfucker and don't even realize it.

Do you guys not find it fucking comical yet sad how that vid only promotes a ringtone and no mention of the album dropping or anything like that?  I think I could write about 10 pages about all the things wrong with "The Fixxxers" but I really don't even want to waste my time. 

THIS SONG IS LAFFY TAFFY PART 2.  Go head and bump this and explain the difference to me, because I don't see it.

[.:Hercy Buggz:.]

why do u think Interscope iz promoting this?!! surely aint because its QUIK

[D1G1T4L]

man dj quik gave you a nice ass album dj quik - trauma
why cant he try something new? he already sold independent, he is trying to hit mainstream now..... let him do his thing

[Antonio_]

The first who raps in the first video looks retarded and gay.

[wcsoldier]

I sometimes disagree with you (though you always argue and doesn't give "free" answer") but in this case I co-sign to the fullest.. it's very sad to see Quik goes that way , following the South trend, using a more "mainstream" flow ... Very few rappers succeed in their transition between the "underground" and the mainstream level (or their attempt to go mainstream), Quik is SURE not one of them.. For those who will answer by the usual "Quik tries sth different", I don't buy it ..

I totally agree!

[Low Key]

It's obvious Quik is looking for mainstream success with the song/album, but until I hear his next project and how he uses his new found fame, I won't jump to any conclusions. But yeah, the track is a blatantly pop.

[The King]

I see where Quik is coming from, years of putting in work, but now he can finally get his shot to get rich.

3 Problems:

1. This music is awful, AMG sounds awful especially.
2. He sold out and his real fans won't forget.
3. He won't get rich, and this won't sell.

The song isn't bad because of the beat. It's bad because Quik decided it was good enough for him and the black Grimus to rap on. AMG makes this song unbearable. If he would've given this beat to someone, thats fine, every producer hands out mediocre beats. But for Quik to rap on this thing, make a video for it, change his name, and change his voice, its pathetic. AMG and the Fixxxers is a complete joke. Why did you have to take AMG with you? Not only did he sell out, he took one of his worst proteges with him. Why not take second II none, or Hi-C? Why take anyone? Why not just release another compilation album with all your friends from the past years, help bring them with you. Fuck AMG, fuck the Fixxxers, and fuck this crappy song.

[WestCoasta]

LOL

[XaNdEr]

You know DJ Quik sold out, him talking about "snapping music" is nothing but a stolen act now he does the same. he only makes himself act like a hipocrit by making such poppy songs.

The Fixxers, lol, wtf is that. Nothing but a gimmick. And him changing his name to Quik, cuz "its good for all the DJ's cuz they get the chance to shine now" lmao @ that.

Man fuck Quik (no homo), ima bump Safe + Sound and Quik Is The Name from now on....

[GimmeYourShoes]

I wouldn't blame Quik for doing "Laffy Taffy" shit. Blame the music consumers. The most of today's rap music is bought by women, so no wonder why they make "laffy taffy" shit. I think that mens are more comfrontable with downloading and bootleggin than paying full price of the CD.

[Bch]

well we like the song here in L.A.

and this isnt even a shadow of what laffy taffy is
theres better lyrics on this , quik was ok his flow was cool

but that can u work with that beat is nice.....

[S.J]

I havent heard Can U Werk Wit Dat before, It doesnt sound much different from Laffy Taffy, I dont like the beat at all, and Quik and AMG flows both sound worse

funny comparison

Nah I dont like the song either. Im really excited about well this record will fare when it comes out. Interscope seems to be very adament about pushing the record (video AND ringtone ).

Maybe there will just be A FEW bad songs like this and Quik will bring the funk on the other tracks....

but that crap he said in his interview about using computers (what happened to "music is supposed to be on tape buddy"?? ) and Fruity Loops and what not doesnt really sound promising.

[Paul]

i wouldnt mind the song if it was some new southern artist, jus as a club joint, but its quik, he has so much history of quality funky beats, gangsta lyrics smooth riding music, this just isnt what we expect from quik, he switched up to make some money,

im just listening to the new WC tracks, he keeps it gangsta , the two tracks are bangin, just in comparisin to quik he obviously hasnt changed

btw quik looks like a real ass pimp in the vid
