dj quik poll: blaqkout vs. book of david

Thanks for this thread, btw. I prob never would've heard Book of David otherwise, and it's really great.

we r here 4 u

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

Yeah was disappointed in that Cube verse. Still bummed that AMG or Hi-C isnt on it.

I like the "You a genius" "No, you a genius" bit

Cube's (apparently entirely unironic) reuse of that green/bill bixby line is just sad.

LOVE LOVE LOVE BOTH OF THESE FOR ALL TIME
DONT KNOW WHAT I WILL VOTE FOR YET THO

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."

you know where that sample is from?

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 suspected McClaren but i tried in vain to find the source material

Yeah was disappointed in that Cube verse. Still bummed that AMG or Hi-C isnt on it.

the only Cube verse I've even liked in recent years was his guest verse on Killer Mike's "Pressure" from like 3 years ago. Even that wasn't prime Cube quality but he was actually saying something for once.

I Am the West was straight ass though.

Semi-related to this thread, but def related to your username:

yeah he has been so so bad for years now, its sort of flabbergasting. he just does not give a shit.

also has no ear for beats anymore, which is why he raps over some extremely generic, nondescript music.

He probably only raps as an attempt to keep his street cred.

dunno how well that's working out for him tbh

he obviously doesn't need the money

there's a small part of me that hopes his acting in movies like Are We There Yet? is a ruse to set up the final film in the series where he kills all of his kids and starts shooting up South Central and playing basketball with his victims heads

so motherfuckin Compton!

lol

Embarrassing.

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.

that was me ^_^

Ha - I still think of that whenever I listen to that song.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Still dont know how to vote for this

i woulda let this run later but i was kinda like "eh, ilx will be back up in no time!"

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

"even if it's actually deceptively serious in the same way book of david is deceptively fun"

I like that.

yeah, good line

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Wanted a tie :/

kind of not surprised, the record that took a few more risks ends up being more memorable i think. i probably agree w/ these results
