i thought, cause i remember seein' the ad for that shyt somewhere, i think it was a used cd store i use to hit it up and buy shyt from
that album won't quik from the 95' to 00' but i appreciated it for what it was from the technical standpoint. it was different but for some reason some of it appealed to me

shock g had just dropped that fear of a mixed planet like the year before and i remember i bought that bytch for 5 dollars from a used cd store
shyt surprised the hell outta me too, cause i ain't know it was gon THAT good

it was a solid album, his last good release, but a definite step down from under the influence

The production was good on this album but this is where I kinda was done with quik as a rapper, his vocals got a bit too corny for me...safe and sound was his peak as a rapper...

and the hooks were subpar for the most part...

Didn't like it at the time but in like 2011 i relistened and i now think it's dope. Catch 22 and til jesus come get regular play.

Fandango is his worst song though.

Quik always refers to Balance + Options as his "bad" album but it actually has some of my favorite Quik records.

I never really felt Trauma at all. Had some jams but was a miss overall

Last true Quik album as we knew him.

"Indiscredtions In The Back Of The Limo" is the best song T.I. has ever done.
I don't fucc wit' Game, but the song on here was cool.
Song with Luda was flames.
"Black Mercedes" is prototype Nate Dogg.
"Get Up" and "Get Down" was a good juxtaposition
