And this song sounds exactly like something from that era, sounds dated as fuck. Quik has never really been able to evolve as a producer. Of course this forum loves him for that reason.Firstly, saying Quik has never been able to evolve as a producer is a lie stated by an ignorant who has never been able to follow Quik's music carefully.Secondly, ask yourself a question how big Quik's chances are to sell this album in serious amounts. For real i think this album is going to flop when it comes to record sales. The industry is different these days it's really hard to sell albums plus Quik isn't on top anymore, and there's no serious marketing behind him.So i guess he knows it's better to stick to what he loves and what his true fans are expecting from him. If he ain't going to sell why should he try to stick to recent radio standards? The music industry is a bitch. It's not like you're going to make a smashing record and radio and tv is going to play it. If you're not major label artist with influential managment and millions of dollars behind you then forget about regular radio airplay, charts and things like that. LABELS PAY RADIO AND TV TO PLAY THEIR ARTISTS SONGS, THEY PAY MAGAZINES TO WRITE ABOUT THEIR ARTISTS and the list goes on.On the other hand you have Dre with all these things behind him needed to make your album sales good. He can record anything and his album won't flop. But in Dre's case it's all about as much money as possible instead of beeing true to his fans. I guess it's Jimmy's influence.. can't you see what Interscope have done with Em? Can't you see Dre is next in line? Forget about Detox if you don't like Kush or I Need A Doctor. Detox is not going to be anything different than these songs because Interscope is all about the record sales... but fuck it... it's a stroy for another topic.First of all never assume something about somebody who you don't know. There was a time when all i listened to was dj quik. The reason i stopped was because every album started to sound the same. This new song could've been on Safe and Sound. I guess there's one major difference between me and most quik fans here. They're still pining for that g funk sound, i'm not. From 92 to 97 all you heard on the radio was g funk. Those 5 years was enough for me. I was ready for something different from west coast artists. Obviously i'm in the minority here.You went on some wild tangent about sales and Dre and Interscope. I never said anything about that so i don't know what that's about. One thing i will say though, Quik is not an independent artist. His albums are distributed by Fontana distribution which is owned by Universal.

But guys... This is not CDQ. It's a good sounding mp3 just to hear the song but it's far from pure CDQ.
10/10great track! Hope Quik keeps it mellow like this...

It's a good sounding mp3 just to hear the song but it's far from pure CDQ.yup...the 128kbps mp3 has been posted about to websites and what i upped was recorded off a stream, probably from the same mp3 source. hopefully some physical promos get pressed up or something. failing that, the digital single release...
Only fear is that songs like this will scare Dre back into the lab...(Further delaying the "Delayed")
