Another dope cover from the man. Beats are unsurprisingly layered and beautiful, lyrics are solid and horny as all get out, but the more I hear the more I'm thinking Quik's most unique talent lies in his ability to structure the shit out of an album. I mean, he's up there with Kanye. He's also just as inscrutable sometimes. He has a great introduction to his umpteenth sex track: "Sometimes I just don't even understand why people like this dirty-talkin shit, you know what I'm sayin? But since they do and people buyin this shit, I'ma kick it like this...." And that track is actually some fly Butlerian shit 10 years before Jean Grae put out God's Gift (I guess Super Hoe started it all, but this takes it up a notch). The outro has a pretty rich yo mama on Tim Dog and a great MC Eiht diss.
Choice cuts: Jus Lyke Compton, Only Fo' Tha Money, Niggaz Still Trippin'
