It's funny because Dre is batshyt insane as well but because he's more versatile with his production, people are willing to set aside his issues and work with him. On the other hand the same does not apply to Quik - I think it's because of his mood swings and his beefs with nearly everyone he's teamed up with. No one is willing to deal with a grown ass man who can't decide what personality he wants to be today.

West Coasters, man.
Hmm maybe in his early days with the whole beating women/domestic violence shyt, but I have never really heard issues of Dre being batshyt insane, emotionally moody, and at the very least talking about his emotions to the degree that Quik does. Ive just heard that Dre is a super perfectionist, and will completely trash something if it's not to his liking. Quik is just a lot more loose with his lips and reckless, impulsive, and will be very public with his spats with this associates; putting their asses on blast and such. Quik is just too emotional, and it comes from his upbringing. Dude was raised in a house full of women, and no father figure. Dude didn't have a whole lot of male influences coming up, plus he had to deal with the fukkery of growing up during the crack epidemic,the rising gang wars of the 80s and 90s. As well as the added factor of the abuse his sisters put him through. Dude has a lot of unresolved issues, and deep seated demons he has yet to deal with. A lot of it too has to do with the people he's got around him too. A lot of the dudes in his crew were opportunist, hanger on's, and didn't have his best interest at heart. Dudes were basically a bunch of yes men, financing his dumb decisions, and bringing their street bullshyt with them. When Dre blew up, he was smart enough to leave that street, thuggery bullshyt where he found it; and he didn't keep people around him who weren't on his level or had nothing to bring to the table.
"No one is willing to deal with a grown ass man who can't decide what personality he wants to be today." - Ive heard from folks up in LA, that Dre and Snoop don't really fukk with Quik like that; of course outside of engineering, and certain production. Especially after that puff puff pass tour shyt of 2016, where he just bailed. Some folks were saying that he's childish, is a kid, and needs to stop crying about the 10k he's getting paid per show. Most of the industry probably doesn't fukk with him like that for that very reason. You can't just put folks on blast, airing them out, burning bridges, and then think it's gonna be all cool to work with them again.
