And, Quik is one of my favorite artists.
The melody in Pet Semetary is too busy for anyone to try to rap over. I couldn't even really concentrate on Quik's lyrics because the beat was taking me in a completely other direction. The song would have worked better as an instrumental.
Also, the video was very poorly done. I've said it before and will say it again, Quik NEEDS A STYLIST.
Great examples of this are his attire in the video for Luv Of My Life in comparison to what he wore in the visuals for Nobody. In the outtakes vid for the latter, you see he had a stylist on staff that day.
And, contrary to what everyone else has said in here, I kind of liked Suga Free's verse on Lifejacket. He is a VERY acquired taste and when he just spouts out a random phrase that has nothing to do with the rest of the verse, it can be pretty jarring, but, I think he did a decent job on this one. I just didn't care for the beat all too much.
At the end of the day, Quik is DEFINITELY one of the most talented cats in hip hop since its inception, but, he just doesn't perform enough quality control. Come to grips with the fact that most OKP's are of the Nut Hugger lineage, so, if you' re not part of the little cliques that exist 'round here, your posts will probably tank like Souljaboy's album sales.
