Music reviews of Way 2 Fonky
Music Review: DJ Quik Is Fonky For The Ninety-Deuce (Rating: 9 out of 10- -4.5 stars)
Rating: 4 Stars
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.
