DJ Quik - Rhythm-al-ism is Quik at his best

[I love Latina women]

Listening to this album again

The mixing and mastering is so clean and the beats have that Funk, smooth Jazz and bounce to them

 

[ledge]

Personal classic to me. But… best album gotta go to “Safe + Sound”. Perfect blend of gangsta ass lyrics and live instrumentation this side of The Chronic.

 

[Michael's Black Son]

Agreed.

Even tho Balance and Options is a personal favorite for sentimental reasons, I think about the space Quik was in when Rhythm-al-ism came out.

The Death Row ship had already sunk and Suga Free’s first album was already out. It was his time to shine with no label drama and no gangsta shyt blatantly around even tho Quik has always had bullshyt surrounding him. But the features on this album were on point and we got a taste of Mausberg and El Debarge was rocking with Quik as well

And speaking of El DeBarge, I would literally pay for a studio version of “I Like It” under Quik production like this performance here:



This shyt slap so hard with Quik’s elements under it

 

[Da King]

That and Safe + Sound are Quik at his best

 

[Fortunate Lee]

He’s got 3 underrated classics

still mad that Safe + Sound ain’t on Spotify or Tidal

 

[Monoblock]

I actually agree. Every time the summer rolls around Rhythmalism is mandatory and is mixed beautifully. That album is just about perfect. @Michael's Black Son I also agree about Balance & Options. Another sonically amazing album by Quik that I can play from beginning to end. Quik production is unmatched.

 

[Splakavellie504]

This and Safe + Sound is a tie for me

[B90X]

One of my favorite albums.

The whole album just flows together beautifully.

 

[shopthatwrecks]

Safe + sound >>>>

Due to him being in smaller studios than dre nem

 

[Grand Eeezus Maxwell]

But… best album gotta go to “Safe + Sound”. Perfect blend of gangsta ass lyrics and live instrumentation this side of The Chronic.

 

[Sccit]

QUIK HAS 7 CLASSIX IN HIS CATALOGUE

GOAT SHIIT

 

[dizzy4111]

Definitely his best album and that's saying something

 

[King Kai]

In my top 10 albums of all time easy

Quik's contributions to building the sound that is the West gets overlooked year by year

 

[MurderToCassette]

Classic, shoulda went triple

Tied with Safe + Sound as my favorite Quik album.
