and a certain type of energy as being "fast." But a DJ will get mad if someone tells them "Back that azz up" is faster than Raphael Saadiq "Get involved" or Quik "Tonite," because technically, it's much slower.
With Quik, his beats are pretty fast, but very laid back. Scarface rarely flows on faster beats, period, but if so, they usually fit his energy. Even his older songs like "Mr. Scarface" were around 97 BPM, but it's so much more aggressive than a Quik beat at 97, which would be like "We still party" or Safe and Sound which is 95 BPM.
