quik & kurupt - HEY PLAYA!

coulda posted on one of the other threads but

WHY NOT

NOT WHY

Moroccan blues

a suitably exotic sample (taken from an episode of Andrew Zimmerman’s Bizarre Foods)

I love DJ Quik, but Kurupt is still the most talentless mainstream rapper around. Just listen to him on this tune:

Cloud nine
She got two sides like Gemini
I'm high
Living my life, I'm hella high
I'm fine
And it's time
See I'm nothing but a pool[???], I'm cool, I'm coolin'
Doin', whenever I wanna be doin'
You and me
Me and you
And my big homie DJ Quik

And so on... I know it's supposed to be a party tune and not a display of rapping skills, but still, is that all he could come up with?!

Kurupt is still the most talentless mainstream rapper around.

SB

"beautiful"

I love DJ Quik, but Kurupt is still the most talentless mainstream rapper around. Just listen to him on this tune:

this is what happens when and what isn't around to enforce order.

nice tune!

Can't wait to hear this

Tuomas is wrong but kurupt has been hit or miss

Lately

kurupt tends to go on autopilot a lot but calling him untalented is str8 crazy! esp early on he used to drop some fucking amazing verses, at his peak i think he was a great bridge between west coast gangsta and complex lyrical east coast style, like a more gully ras kass or something

Yeah totally otm

it's like him being philly by way of cali was totally apparent in his style

this song is XD

u know, even though i think i subconsciously only made this thread in the first place to feel the self-lacerating pain of ilm douches getting happy/getting it all wrong (curmudgeon obv STRAIGHT AWAY gettin his dj/rupture global village mode on lol ouch) this is still a fucking lame effort on yalls part!! i mean yeah fine racionate kurupt's position in the rap discourse landscape all you want if it beats back tuomas' truly spectacular challops ("bra-zilliant atmosphere, without a brassiere" i see no problem here dude) but i just thought it would appeal more to not-just-the-usual folks along some universal silly timbo/bubba sparxx 03 throwback glorious mess lines.

song is still dope to me even after writing all that, so it really must be good - get on boarddddd

(i'm joking about curmudgeon btw - was just hilarious to me that it was him of all people, given everything)

kinda think the thing i love most about this is quik in the middle of the westcoast/morroco storm-in-a-teacup seeing fit to go vaguely whodini horrorcore throughout. zombies! vampires! tales from the crypt! "the voice of great antiquity"! so excellent.

i'm sorry i'm not someone else that has different thoughts and opinions?

no man look i'm totally appreciative of what you & deej said here i just find it a bit sad that that's all that became of the thread is all

whatever tho

it is a good song and i'm glad you posted it!

but yeah you're only gonna get the same few dudes on any hip hop thread really

oh fukkkk!!!!

this is killing me. so hard.

top ten rap singles this decade too hyperbolic? right now I feel like when I first heard "Grindin'"

I would say I wish quik rapped on it, but why fuck with what you got when it's this good

I feel like when I first heard "Grindin'"

cause it sounds just like grindin? sweet beat rapping needs a little pop intensity tho

imo the rapping on this is the shit & this track is one of the best out right now

I love how Kurupt's rap is so structured, but in a v. unorthadox way

This is like top three of the year for me.

"9xs outta 10" has this mean swagger that really only comes when the only thing you have to fall back on is that you know that you are dope as fuck - you know you aren't going to sell, you know critics aren't going to give a fuck, you know nobody is going to care about the video so you don't do shit but just stand there and rap with your boys and yet it's so singular, so confident, so hard, so nasty, like they can't be bothered to care about the viewer and yet it's such a vibrantly grimy video and song - i'm drunk but shit

also the production is saturn's rings bonkers

quik beats make you feel stoned even when you aren't

i want a "I BE IN RARE MOTION" tattoo

people are really trying to fuck with this? shit

FOURTEEN 350s
AROUND THE CLOCK POP AROUND THE BLOCK
AROUND THE WHOLE CIRCUMFERENCE
IN ABUNDANCE FEAR LIKE TED BUNDY

BOUNCE BACK LIKE BUNGEES

THROWN AWAY LIKE SPONGEES

are arabic/rap blends coming back in style again? i sure hope so.

^^^ great album

terrace martin & kurupt STREETLIGHT lp coming soon too btwwwww

and 4 good measure

Lovin' this as well:

BUT wtf why is Quik wearing a Sydney Swans top in this video????:

I've never really listened to either of these fellas before. Where do I start? (Stuff that's easy to get hold of preferably.)

dammmmn tim this after simey calling the nuum australia too, you must be having a time of it

a hoy, I'll leave the Kurupt recos up to someone who knows better, but as for Quik, start here:

http://eastofla.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/dj-quik-rhythm-al-ism.jpg

contains dopeness such as:

"Medley for a "V" (The P***y Medley)" (featuring Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, Hi-C, AMG, 2nd II None & El DeBarge)

^^^not on u-tube but completey essential

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d1/Streetlights.jpg

4-20 obv

interesting -- "i'm burnt" was pretty wack -- too bad "murder fitness" isn't on there

you are pretty wack

'yessir' & 'bounce rock skate' are pretty old

oh c'mon -- "i'm burnt" had one quik verse & it was like 4/10 -- the fuck outta here

er, one kurupt verse obv

It's not an all-time classic or anything but solid 7/10. I've gotten some burn from it (no pun). Then again I'm a total sucker for big drum vs small production nu-west shit. And Problem holds his own just fine. Love the hook tho.

this is one of those things, you put it together you make gumbo IMO

first sunny day in like a week, there's only one album to soundtrack it!

YOU'RE A SCOUNDREL
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT WE AVOID
SO GET BACK THE PARTY
AND DON'T BE SO PARANOID

^^i think the dude has a right to be a little paranoid imo

now get'em

i gottem

Watcha Wan Do beat is sick

some hip hop dudes i know around here are saps!
tried to put them on to this and they looked at me like o_0
Wtf?

ALL NIGHT BABY POP THAT TWAT

ohh! is absolutely sick

still a great album to crank

is anything else by dj quik as good as this album?

Its like his 5th best album.

wutz good w. dj quik

yeah loads. try this sampler (&thread) wutz good w. dj quik or start with rhythm-al-ism

haha nice post spottie

Thanks pal.

rhythmalism, book of david, unda the influences, balances and options and quik is the name are all great
i'm late to trying way 2 fonky and will be making that a project soon

Id check up on Trauma before Way 2 Fonky, and I'd check out Street Gospel by Suga Free before either.

And Safe & Sound! I shouldn't answer these kind of things cos I get all emotional and just end up like GET IT ALL MAN JUST DO IT.

But for real.

i love blaqkout and book of david to death and yet STILL haven't bothered going through quik's back catalogue. really must do that.

'cream n ya panties' sounds amazing on a good car sound system

rev was talking abt 9x outta 10

maybe my 5th fav track on the album tbh

Prego otm, that jam is a jam.

rip onsmash :(

this shit still bangz so hard

this album is still the best thing to listen to during the summer by an order of magnitude or two

it made my day when i put the disc back in car rotation a few months ago, definitely need to do that again now that it's warm out

think this is favorite album of the last 5 years or so

it's on the list.

wow it's been 5 years now

HIP-HOP *clap* is the music of the devil

i love this! Thanks for reminding me about it

Gargantuan, cannon cocker BLAKA BLAKA BLAKA

Love when Quik comes in on 9x Outta 10 matching Kurupt for 1.5 bars of his 3.5.

Or make it rain, make it hurricane
Typhoons, Tycoons
I assume delusions, illusions
Like mushrooms, get it now or pretty soon
Irradiated mushrooms

Irradiate entire rooms
Go bananas, baboons, just (STOP!)

HIP-HOP *clap* is the music of the devil
