Quik knows what he's doing. You can hear it on every track of this symphonic mini-masterpiece.
-
Neither artist disappoints on the LP and Quik continues to progress and go beyond the boundaries of traditional west coast hip-hop. Although I'm not sure if fans will ride down Crenshaw bumping a few of the songs on the album, I salute Quik and Kurupt for trying something new.
-
The lyrics aren't going to win awards for thematic originality, and there's an especially egregious spoken-word bit poorly justifying the excessive use of the word "bitch," but most of the time, Quik and Kurupt sound invigorated by each other.

AlonsoM10Forget Till the Casket Drops, this is the rap album of the year. Should be listed in Metacritic's top 10 of 2009.

TomN8This is an amazing album. The track "ooh" is one of the best beats I have heard in 2009. Worth checking out!
