dj quik's trauma album has held up quite nice

[I love Latina women]

i remember i got this album the day it came out and i must've listened to it for months straight!

listenin' to it again and this album still sounds really good. this album was a step in a different but right direction after his under tha influence album imo

i like the route he went with production for this trauma. it's still quik; still funky but with a stripped down sound. the production on the album is real interestin' because it reminds me of what herbie hancock, miles davis and many other jazz musicians use to do with their albums. they stick to one cohesive sound at it's core but throughout the album the sound changes with a few twist and turns. the sequencin' on this album is really well done too. he even managed to get a jodeci feature and those brothers had not recorded anythin' new in a years

quik was spittin' on this album too. it sounded like he really took his time to write this shyt. it's a all around good album that still holds up really well

All of Quik shyt holds up because of how well engineered his music is. His pan game is crazy.

quik is the name and way 2 fonky were the only albums that sounded dated...

because they were all made in the late 80s

once he got his money right..n started networkin...n cats like bernie worrell, roger troutman, warryn campbell and george clinton...around the safe n sound era...he learned how to perfect analog..n how to make shyt crisp...

As soon as the weather gets above 85 and the clouds go away his music magically comes back to life for me personally heh

who remembers when he performed at the house of blues and released that live at the house of blues album the followin' year after the trauma album

the trauma mixtape was good but the album is better

Agree to disagree. I know the mixtape was a mix of tracks that he was featured on other people albums and some unreleased stuff but I remember when the Trauma album dropped I was highly disappointed b/c they cut off tracks like.




And it was overall forgettable. I bump the mixtape way more than the album.

i respect that because that mixtape stayed in heavy rotation for me back then. my cousin ended up stealin' that damn mixtape from me because he loved it so much, lol

i made a thread a while back on the mixtape too

but i revisit the album much more than i do the mixtape. i always thought trauma was a really good album and i never got the backlash it seems to receives a lot. sure, it wasn't safe+sound or rhythm-al-ism, hell it won't even balance and options dj quik but it's still a good album imo

it was a different time and quik came with somethin' fresh that didn't sound redundant. i thought it was the best release that year too
