![]() “Now when your records ain’t that funky then it’s easy to disrespect thisĬause you know that when I hit I didn’t miss Quik’s response cut straight to the heart of the matter: ![]() He claimed that he was growing tired of the increasing popularity of West Coast music that was causing him and other East Coast acts to be overlooked by record labels and publications alike. On the song, Quik takes time to address issues with MC Eiht and Bronx-based rapper, Tim Dog, who had released a song called “Fuck Compton”. The video featured Quik dressed in all black, surrounded by his homies in a dark warehouse setting that becomes illuminated by random flashes of light. The title track, “Way 2 Fonky” was the first single released from the album. Quik even finds the time to raise HIV awareness, advocating condom use on the song. As one would expect, the song is all about sex. It can be seen as a loose (no pun intended) sequel to “Sweet Black Pussy” from the first album. “Mo Pussy” features a sample of Blowfly’s “Convoy” and an interpolation of The Gap Band’s “Oops Upside Your Head”. The album kicks off with “America’z Most Complete Artist”, which samples The D.O.C.’s “No One Can Do It Better” and in retrospect is more of a statement of fact, rather than a mere paltry boast. Professionally known as DJ Quik, Blake set out to prove that the success of his debut album, “Quik Is The Name”, was indeed no fluke. Another one of those overlooked albums is the sophomore effort from Compton’s own David Blake. Most people tend to overlook the other exceptional releases of that year, which included Spice-1’s self titled debut album, Too Short’s “Shorty The Pimp”, MC Ren’s “Kizz My Black Azz”, and Ice Cube’s “The Predator”. 1992 was a remarkable year in West Coast rap music.
