dj quik's the book of david is a modern day classic

[I love Latina women]

at a time (even still now for the most part) when most were more into singles and random songs much more than actual albums, quik like he always has, put out an album of singles and songs that were sequenced, mixed, mastered and engineered with a cohesive sound. the songs are well written and very well produced. then there's the guest list of artists; the legendary late-great garry shider of parliament funkadelic, jon. b, suga free, ice cube, dwele, kurupt, bizzy bone, bun b, and blakkazz k.k.




then there's the couple of samples that he used. quik is still one of the smartest and most original producers around. for the song "real women" he sampled angela bofill "children of the world united", for "hydromatic" has elements of "greased lightnin' by john travolta by way of the grease soundtrack and then "do today" samples one of my favorite prince written and produced songs, the family's (prince's group) "screams of passion"


the samples

shyt ain't no damn classic..his last dope album was balance and options,,

 

[JCalli]

I wouldn't go that far, but I thought it was very dope. I was surprised a lot of people didn't feel it like that.

Ghetto Rendezvous was hard as fukk. That and killer dope stayed in rotation since the very first listen

 

[Ronnie Lott]

Nah breh

 

[Ezus Jezus]

I've had this album since day one and never gave it a real shot. Fire and and brimstone is on my run Playlist tho. I'll give it another try.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

I been playing this all summer and people always ask me for the music. Dope album. And it has a few classic songs on there no doubt.

 

[darealvelle]

dope album, classic not sure

 

[Rakim Allah]

It was one of the best albums of 2011...which was one of the best if not best years in hip hop since the millennium.

Is it on par with his 90s joints...no but it's as good as Way Too Funky.

I'd say it's close to a modern classic as it gets.

 

[FunkyFresh]

Cool album. Nothing more nothing less imo

 

[Da King]

You find a bigger Quik Stan then me on this board, this is a 3.5 mic album

 

[Sccit]

IT AGED REALLY WELL

BEST ALBUM OF 2011 FOR SURE

 

[JMD]

it was cool...Blaqkout was better tho

 

[King Jae]

He was snappin on Ghetto rendezvous...first time I heard it I was like ...ain't heard em snap like that since dollaz and sense...Quik is an underrated battle rapper..other nagas shyt be surface level..he say shyt that fukks wit ur soul...then it had this classic on there

Think it was a solid effort..he never really put out a bad project to me..fixxers the only one I don't really jig wit like that...
