DJ Quik is a favorite of mine, and his music is part of the reason why I have a huge prefrence for West Coast rap. I believe his production is one of the best out there in the West. And his sophomore album "Way 2 Fonky" clearly proves that reason. This is one of those album that you can easily bump on a friday or saturday night when driving (or thats when I reach for this album). Lyrically Quik is real dope. Some of the songs he talks about getting some from the females, which I found to be a real popular topic for artists on the west back in the early 90's. "Mo *****" is one of those songs, and it has a real bouncy beat that he lays down. On "Jus Lyke Compton", Quik rhymes about how Oakland, St. Louis, San Antoino, and Denver remind him of his hometown Compton. He must have had a real bad experience in St. Louis, because he mentions it again in the song "No B.S.". (Sort of reminds me of Ice Cube's "My Summer Vacation") His production stills were in full swing on this album. Most of the beats on this album may sound a little dated, but I have no problem with it. Quik can lay down some dope beats. "Only Fo' Tha Money" and "Jus Lyke Compton" are some of the dope beats on this album. Guest appearances are great as well. The group 2nd II None appears on a lot of the tracks on this album. And the whole group: AMG, 2nd II None, Hi-C, and JFN, joins in with Quik on "****** Still Trippin'", one of the best tracks on the album. Only things that are bad are the songs "Me Wanna Rip Your Girl" and "Let Me Rip Tonite". "Me Wanna Rip Your Girl" is Quik experimenting with the Reggae sound, and I personally believe that it doesn't work for him. And "Let Me Rip Tonite" is a forgettable slow song by Leroy and The Chocolate Lovelitez. Thats all of the bad things about this album that I can think of. This album by Quik is nice. With 12 total tracks (one interlude and an outro), this is one album I recommend to fans of 90's rap music. Quik proves that he is no different from other artists from the L.A. area that dropped albums back in 1992. Even with the songs I said were bad, the entire album vibes real well and I'm pretty sure that many people will enjoy it. This album just falls short of a classic, but it's still one of the best from '92.

Seagram (R.I.P.), representin' East Oakland, Cali, definitely delivers on his second album, 1994's Reality Check On Rap-A-Lot Records. He is a great lyricist and has a good, loud rapping voice and a good flow to go with that. This cat can spit. Beats are vintage bay area G-Funk, and are relaxing and melodic. Production goes to Seagram, with instrumentation by Troy White, Mike Dean, Mark Anthony, Eaton Fox, and Seag himself. A great summertime cruisin' G-Funk era anthem is "Eastside" with cool layers of keyboard melody. Another one is "Gangstas and Players" (f/ Too Short) both kickin some street oriented, pimp game. The beat is cool Oakland swingin' with a neat whiny synth in the hook. With styles so different, the 2 go well together here. "Gangsta Livin'" is a cool joint where Seag discusses life in the hood without glorifying it. He flows really hard here/ "The Town" (F/ Angie and Gangsta P) is a dark anthem of Oakland. The beat is vintage Rap-A-Lot almost southern style. "13 Deep" has a mega-relaxed, smooth, twangy guitar diff driven G-Funk beat. The lyrics showcase Gangsta P and seag trying to keep their head up living in a crime ridden neighborhood and growing up in the legal system (California Youth Authority). "Birth" definitely rings true. This joint is about loving the children you give birth to and being there for them. The beat is upbeat and melody driven funk. This song definitely touches the heart. It has an Isley Brothers "For The Love Of You" sample. Another deep song is "Where Do We Go From Here" where Seagram analyzes the plight of losing friends and family members and tries to move on. The beat is sunny R and B inflected with a great hook by Suzette. "No Matter The Cost" has a cool G-Funk atmosphere with a sweet and sunny beat perfect to roll to down the avenue to. I would say that this album is as sunny Cali G-Funk era as Warren G and Snoop Dogg with respect to the vibes the beats themselves give off even though the lyrics can be hard core. I love the emotional and lyrical depth Seagram puts into this classic. It is expensive and rare now, but I recommend saving up some extra ends now before it goes for 100 plus dollars. Fans of 2 Pac, Scarface, Big Syke and the like will definitely dig Seagram. Too bad, he had to fall victim to the game. RIP to a real rapper.

Lil' 1/2 Dead1974年出生于美国西海岸长滩，Nate Dogg的小堂弟，他的名字名字最早见于Dr.Dre《The Chronic》的“Lil Geto Boy”里Snoop一句“My homie lil half dead”，他于1994年和1996年在Priority下发行了两张专辑《The Dead Has Arisen》和《Steel on a Mission》，虽然2张专辑都是GFUNK经典，但是销量不好， 而Priority重视的是Ice Cube和他的Westside Connection，最终小半死淡出了大家的视线 。好听又难找的专辑 不容错过阿
