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

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

    What happens when you try new styles? they may not work dj quick is the most underrated dj of all time and this has a few bangers, but the new experiment will not let you bang most of these songs with your top down on the westcoast.

    Quik's talent as a producer was evident from his first album in 1991. His banal and dirty party rhymes are gurgled out of his raspy, tenor snoop-with-the-flu flow, but were almost always delivered with dynamic and expressive gusto. Slightly pained, a little messy, but often clever and hilarious. Enter Kurupt. Yawn. Well, Its a start... Blaqkout is Quik's best effort in over a decade, but as a production, Rythm-a-lism remains his masterpiece, a chiseled, melodic powerhouse that made the west coast sound bounce harder and cleaner than it ever had before, and maybe never after.… Expand

    Kurupt seems so committed to the idea of saying not that much in a very complicated way that it's utterly compelling. Quik, on the other hand, is consistently literal, dealing in the concrete with memorable, loosely connected run-on raps.

    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.
