yes! :obama::ohlawd::mjcry:

david blake is as underrated as it gets. he is the definition of underrated :wow:

@Techniec you summed it up perfectly and i could not have said it any better bruh. great and powerful thead. 5 stars, dap and +rep :salute:

but quik kept the ball rollin' durin' those sad and tragic times. plus, he was goin' through it himself because he had lost a loved one durin' the recordin' of rhythm-al-ism and a close friend, mausberg in 2000. all the while, here he is just workin' and keepin' his groove. shyt, one could even argue that that 97' to 00 is where quik peaked musically even though many say safe +sound is his best album (myself included) but musically he continued to grow and expand post 95'

i've said it before and i'll say it again, quik is truly a genius. the brother is musically gifted, he is music :myman:

i could post so many different quik or quik related songs but i'll just post this one for now. this damn near brings tears to my eyes :mjcry:



is it me or was his piano game on point during balance and option

we came to play
change the game
can you feel dat

:ohlawd:

Was thinkin' about this today...

this was about the time the West Coast was really trying to move to the more polished, club type jams
and I think Quik's sound went hand in hand with that (no pun intended). Because around this time,
you had the stuff @Techniec mentioned, then he was doing the R&B chit with Toni Tony Tone and Adina Howard also...

Real talk Balance and Options is a fukkin personal classic to me. It was the first CD I bought when i was living in LA and while I was getting my car stereo hooked up at Best Buy in Torrance I went in and bought the album.

When my whip was ready i popped that shyt in the CD slot and fukkin cruised down Rosecrans like I was whippin a fukkin Benz. So many joints on that album I fukked with
