thats why quik isnt a bigger deal..
it doesnt have shyt to do with music..
i explained how quik got fukked off before...
profile records... a new york based label...was lookin 4 a new eazy/nwa...
like all labels do if somethin is makin noise in one region..n it becomes a hit..scoop up everything from that area...it happen with texas n the swishahouse era...
profile didnt realize what they had..until eazy came knockin at the door...
quik tried to put tweed and playa hamm on at profile..they told quik we already got enough of yall..
eazy was hangin with quik alot..in his ear...this when dre left...eazy knew he fukked up in the first place...kuz quik had his demo n undergrounds in ruthless offices...suge n d.o.c signed quik originally..but they didnt know what to do with artist at that time..
once dre was gone..eazy was tryin to reinvent ruthless.....quik was already to the sound above the law...n dre nem had begun doing..them nikkas was old..quik like 16-17 yrs old
profile passed on the penthouse playaz...eazy signed em..gave quik a couple millions to do the whole album...
the album went gold...profile...upset...wonderin how did they miss em..askin quik..did he know em...he said yea i brought them to u...u had enough of us remember...
they see quik...n eazy on the cover...quik dissin the east coast on the album...
they are hot...eazy then back doors em ..tryin 2 sign quik....they threaten to sue eazy
quik suspended...he couldnt work outside of profile records..he was stuck doin shyt for bullshyt artist...
suge gets his shyt together...
knew quik was hurtin not doin shyt..so he brought em in to do in house shyt ...help out on dogg food and other albums...if u own the dogg food cd..david blake appears randomly in the thank yous..
suge tries to buy quik out..profile didnt budge...safe n sound was suppose to been quik last album under his contract...him n 2nd ii none signed a 3 album deal...2nd ii none...was too active in the streets to even give a fukk anymore..so they got dropped..
suge some how muscled his way into bein the executive producer for safe n sound..he also had quik redo his publishin n credits for his album...u see dante blake all thru the album..
quik is also on the cover with a death row t-shirt on...
if u had the og cover..u would see death row records safe and sound
u watch the safe n sound video..quik is in a murder was the case t-shirt...
u find a bigger photo of this
u will see em in a death row murder was the case shirt...
quik suge n g-one hit a huge pay day on this album...he gave g-one the credit for dollaz n sense for the murder was the case sdtrk...n he ate good off the safe n sound release..
profile later shelved quik for 4 yrs...he had no work..
but suge kept em busy...thats why when he was at death row u saw david blake on everything
profile tried to hustle em one last time when clive davis bought out his contract at arista...
quik isnt a bigger deal because he was a victim of label politics...that kept him from workin with the likes of snoop dre etc...
pretty sure if u ask diggs bout quik...he would tell u str8 up...what it is..
Nice informant breakdown. I assumed he wasn't a big deal was because he released his album's at the wrong time or lack of mentions or co signs.

Sann Quinn is also a good lyricist from the west.
I get what you're saying, but nobody would consider Adam Levine singing over RZA, Premo, and Havoc beats as a Hip Hop album. It would make Hip Hop fans check for it, but no matter how great it sounded, it wouldn't be considered a Hip Hop album. Nobody considers Justin Timberlake's albums, Christina Aguilera's Back To Basics, Madonna's Hard Candy, or Nelly Furtado's Loose as Hip Hop albums even though all were predominantly produced by Hip Hop producers. A lot of people don't want to claim Lauryn Hill's Miseducation of Lauryn Hill as a Hip Hop album even though she raps a lot on it, the biggest song features her rapping ("Doo Wop"), her buzz single was a rap record ("Lost Ones"), and it gets praise from other MC's.
He's supposed be 5'11I also think it's because he raps in Eazy E's voice so it probably annoys people
It's funny because his rapping voice doesn't match him at all ,I saw him at some sushi spot and he's like 6'2
shyt was wack and corny but it got play.He almost went mainstream with The Fixxers everyone in my middle school had that one song
They would eat that sh!t up. Most Rakim fans come from that era any way. They would go ape sh!t soon as the Secret Garden beat came on. That beat is slow and if there's anybody that mastered the slow flow in hiphop it is Rakim. He would murk that
I didn't say pretends to be other genres I said infiltrates them
In the beginning rappers in the park was rapping over stuff like Disco songs. Years later producers would chop up or loop samples from other genres
That's what I Mean by infiltrate
Neg reps bout to be handed out accordinglyThat's my GOAT
Quik Slander
One Man Band hate will not be tolerated
A quik + pac joint would have been
I'm a quik fan and that shyt was horrible....but it got play on tv and the radio, so I wasn't hating. This shyt goes harder though:
Ohh, since it ain't Dre, now we're splitting up production credit.
THATS HOW IT WAS CREDITED, U CAN HEAR MEL MAN ALL OVER THAT BEAT
