Except I was a few years older already. I'd heard a few Quik songs here and there but Rhythm-al-ism just hit right on time for me. The whole project was fire. The production is STILL stellar. It just hits different. I wore that shit OUT. The dickriding that Dre gets compared to the ghosting that Quik gets is insane to me. You put any of those dudes that Dre had on his albums on a whole album of Quiks shit he'd be getting way more shine. The closet he came was BlaQKout and Kurupt was so wack on that. It's a damn shame cause the beats were really good.

All that being said my favorite Quik album is probably Balance and Options. To me that's Quik's apex. He was hit his stride as a rapper and producer on that.
