Had/heard so many muthafukkin tapes/albums from EVERY region back then bruh :mindblown:

Often find it damn near impossible to pick, n choose the "best". Loved the shyt that much.....still do.

For me though it was QITN, Safe N Sound and Rhythmilsm. Quik blessed nikkaz from junior high, high school through college, and beyond. Before the internet you knew certain tapes was the truth when you would go clear accross the country peepin fools rap collection and you would see one his tapes/CD's in somebody's stash:pachaha:

Quik was so cold when he first dropped, had everybody out here checkin for all the cats in his click. MAJOR radio/video play also. The triefeca of a hard on hoes movement that was so cold, young cats shoulda had no business playin when we were younger. All these nikkaz dropped tapes that same year right after Quik's debut.





Hoes in school lost they muthafukkin minds at parties when that AMG would come on:russ:

yeah low key even out in LA i feel like Quik isn't as appreciated as he should be with people my age. Older LA folks seem to like Quik a lot. My sister is 6 years older than me and she used to bump Quik all the time when I was younger

The guy is easily top 5 most talented hip hop figures ever. I mean, this guy is a fukking GENIUS. Literally. For me he's on par with Dre. If Dre is #1 than Quik is #1B, not #2.

Quik prevented quik from blowing up. Reason why the mexicans messed with him is because of his production. All the live instrumentals


Low key, mexicans in LA have always had some good taste in hip hop:patrice::manny:

oh yeah and by the way KDAY in LA STILL shows Quik love every single day on their station. They STAY playing all of Quik's classics. Currently Quik and Pac are the 2 most played artists on that station it seems like

People born and raised in L.A around the time quik came out knows how big "tonight" was in the city. Its one of those songs that's a part of my childhood :wow:. I wish someone on the internet would upload all the classic sessions quik had with theo on 92.3 the beat:mjcry:
