"it's such a spiteful album"
I dont really get this from BoD on a whole. It has a couple spiteful tracks that are right up front, but its still pretty much just normal Quik throughout. BlaQKout has Fuck Y'all after all.

"Killer Dope" is prob. my favorite track from BoD: love that dumb trumpet.
― dyao think i'm sexy (jaymc), Thursday, 1 December 2011 23:48 (twelve years ago) link
Still cant get enough of those damn drums on Fire & Brimstone, and that heeeeeeeummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm hypnotic hum in the background.
"I'm a Mercedes man, a late 80's manI guess you could call me the perennial ladies man...
I'm a precious stone, wrapped in parchment paperRound brilliant cut, shootin' ????????????????I'M A DIGNITERY, you're a lowly beggaWhy don't you pull your plug, you stupid negga"
Can anyone fill in that blank? Love that verse.

i think this is right but having spent less time with bod these tracks really jump out in my mind.
― cad, Friday, 2 December 2011 00:05 (twelve years ago) link
They are 2 of the best tracks on it.
― Scotty Magee, Friday, 2 December 2011 00:06 (twelve years ago) link
Both followed by ladies jams, natch.

Cream n ya Panties is probably my favorite produced beat of the last 5 years.

Deej otm about these being hard to stack against each other. BoD has more in common with Trauma and Under Tha Influence which I rate all about the same (2nd tier).
The production on BlaQKout is so much fun. The whole project feels like a weird ass mistake, in a good way of course.

voted bod, the production is so great and definitely not a step backward, it's all in the details.

btw Quik revealed the blanked out name from "Killer Dope" in his Pitchfork freestyle thing. It's some guy who works for Interscope
― Number None, Friday, 2 December 2011 00:39 (twelve years ago) link
i mean there are def some palate cleansers ("luv of my life", "real women", boogie till you conk out") but even songs like "poppin" and "nobody" and "hydromatic" are like one big middle finger
― v-shasty, Friday, 2 December 2011 00:46 (twelve years ago) link
i mean i know quik has always had that attitude but it seems pronounced on BoD in a lot of places
next poll : fuck yall or nobody ?

"The Appeal" was my favorite album closer of 2009: love how relaxed but majestic it sounds.
― Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 2 December 2011 02:01 (twelve years ago) link
Book of David for me, but it's really like comparing two high quality cuisines.
i love Kurupt and the songs on Blaqkout are hella dope, but Book of David has Quik giving off this aire of being in complete control, like he's in the zone for the entire record. "Ghetto Rendezvous" just cuts to the bone...
― if you ain't gonna wash it, i ain't gonna eat it, Friday, 2 December 2011 02:23 (twelve years ago) link
and the groove/hook on "Real Women"
― Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 2 December 2011 02:30 (twelve years ago) link
ill probably start defending whichever one seems like it's losing at some point. each of these records do very different things
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Friday, 2 December 2011 02:34 (twelve years ago) link
haha, yes. Having a hard time deciding. Might just be an atm decision.
― Scotty Magee, Friday, 2 December 2011 03:11 (twelve years ago) link
"i mean i know quik has always had that attitude but it seems pronounced on BoD in a lot of places"
Yeah maybe a little more than normal, but I still wouldn't classify this as a spiteful album. Semantics, idk? The fact that it follows such a buoyant and bouncy album definitely makes it *seem* more subdued.
― Scotty Magee, Friday, 2 December 2011 03:18 (twelve years ago) link
I enjoy Blaqkout more but there is something about how personal BoD feels that really gets to me. Also 'Ghetto Rendezvous' might be the coldest track I've ever heard.
― pandemic, Friday, 2 December 2011 11:17 (twelve years ago) link
The Book of David is a very good (if overlong) album but it doesn't quite have the riotous energy that makes Blaqkout a great one. Blaqkout benefits from it brevity as well, there's barely a wasted moment on there.
― Matt DC, Friday, 2 December 2011 11:56 (twelve years ago) link
Thanks for this thread, btw. I prob never would've heard Book of David otherwise, and it's really great.

on first listen I'd rate BoD higher than Blaqkout but yeah its such a different animal

otoh oh look another phoned-in Ice Cube verse
yeah that cube verse was pretty weak gotta say
(your boy) KK brings it though and all jon b's hooks are nice too
― k3vin k., Friday, 2 December 2011 18:22 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah was disappointed in that Cube verse. Still bummed that AMG or Hi-C isnt on it.
― Scotty Magee, Friday, 2 December 2011 18:24 (twelve years ago) link
I like the "You a genius" "No, you a genius" bit
― Number None, Friday, 2 December 2011 18:28 (twelve years ago) link
Cube's (apparently entirely unironic) reuse of that green/bill bixby line is just sad.
― Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 2 December 2011 18:29 (twelve years ago) link
LOVE LOVE LOVE BOTH OF THESE FOR ALL TIME DONT KNOW WHAT I WILL VOTE FOR YET THO
― Carnitas, Friday, 2 December 2011 19:40 (twelve years ago) link
cube's entire presence is worth it for the exchange that he & quik have at the end

I'm sayin

The only words I know on this album are the sample of the British dude enthusing about "West Coast America."
― dyao think i'm sexy (jaymc), Friday, 2 December 2011 20:07 (twelve years ago) link
you know where that sample is from?
― Carnitas, Friday, 2 December 2011 20:26 (twelve years ago) link
No -- I tried to look it up but couldn't find anything.

i've always assumed it was malcolm mclaren. if not dude sounds just like him.

I kind of like the Bun B verse, but someone on here referred to it as "Dr Seuss rap" or something, which - I have to admit - is a funny line.

listened to both of them pretty recently gotta go with blaqkout just because it feels so infectiously playful and unpredictable, even if it's actually deceptively serious in the same way book of david is deceptively fun
