It has Quik issuing some truly baroque and specific threats at some unnamed woman - вЂњAnd if you keep annoying me / IвЂ™ma pump your pussy full of lead and poison both your ovariesвЂќ - and then claiming heвЂ™s so cool that he can вЂњnut ice cream.вЂќ ItвЂ™s a bizarre, fun, reprehensible, wickedly slick little song, and itвЂ™s one of many here. On the song, that banjo shares space with huge, loping drums and precise DJ scratches and the buttery vocal runs of the вЂ™80s R&B legend El Debarge. HeвЂ™s showier about it now, but heвЂ™s still taking an instrument steeped in cultural signifiers and stripping away all its significance, using it for a dope little sound and ignoring everything else that comes with it. That skit is a rare moment of self-awareness for Quik once up on a time, he wouldвЂ™ve presented that banjo without comment and dared you to notice what he was doing. ItвЂ™s plucking out a spare, clean, almost fussy little riff, and it sounds undeniably funky. The first song is called вЂњThat NiggerвЂ™s Crazy,вЂќ and as that skit fades out, the first thing you hear is a banjo. HereвЂ™s what he tells them: вЂњI think hip-hop need a banjo in it.вЂќ The mystified jokers run away giggling, telling each other that Quik is crazy. The Midnight Life opens with a skit in which a couple of chuckleheads visit Quik in the studio, hoping for some knowledge on the rap game. That banjo thing is entirely literal, by the way. WeвЂ™re lucky to still have him around, finding funky things to do with banjos. HeвЂ™s a national treasure, one of rapвЂ™s most enduring visionaries, and heвЂ™s still got a young manвЂ™s sense of adventure. But with The Midnight Life, heвЂ™s made an album as curious and adventurous and slick and strange as anything heвЂ™s ever done. The Midnight Life is QuikвЂ™s ninth album, and heвЂ™s long, long past the point where most rappers fade into obsolescence. Both in terms of voice and vision, Quik still sounds young. And if anything, heвЂ™s grown even more adventurous as a producer, finding ever-weirder things to do with his silky live-band funk. Quik, on the other hand, still raps in a sprightly, conversational flow, the same one he used on his classic debut Quik Is The Name 23 years ago. But nobody wouldвЂ™ve ever confused Droop-E or Sun God with their fathers. E-40 and Ghostface Killah both got there before Quik. There is, after all, precedent for rap legends to throw guest verses to their rapping sons. As it turns out, David Blake is actually QuikвЂ™s son, who can really rap and who shows up four different times on The Midnight Life. T.I.P.вЂќ thing, expanding his persona some slight bit. David Blake is QuikвЂ™s birth name, so I assumed this was Quik himself, rapping with a slightly different flow and doing a вЂњT.I. вЂњ That Getter,вЂќ the first single from DJ QuikвЂ™s new album The Midnight Life, had one guest, and that guestвЂ™s name was David Blake.
