Why isn't DJ Quik a bigger deal

[L68]

why was Everlast diss verse on let u have it not on retail?

 

[Palm Tree's & Blunts]

My Nikka....


That beat sounds like something 100 Miles and Running NWA would have rhymed over.

But to each is own.....Tim Dog never properly responded to Quik or Dre so he fell into irrelevance..I mean he did respond but no one cared.


*cranks up "fukk Compton" on the computer speakers for the memories*

what made him diss compton?
Did he just wake up one day and say fukk it i'm going to diss them??

Seems like he was just trying to create a buzz ..

The og safe n sound with the alternate versions of dollar n sense..was all done at Quik's house

He brought em to death row for the final mix down...

By then the beef wit hop n quik was squashed...no need for it...

 

[Mr. 1nighter]

what was the DJ Quik beat that stood out the most in the 90's??



Dre got numerous stand out beats...Eric Sermon too....Preemo, Havoc, Rza and Pete Rock.

What DJ Quik beat was the #1 over the top beat that hip hop acknowledged in the 90's cuz I dont remember. I'm talking about a beat Hip Hop audeinces acknowledged...Not something on an album that u have to be a fan to know.

Tonight? Jus like Compton?... c'mon dog stop it!

 

[TheBlackSun]

Are u kidding me.....I was listening to that shyt like a few months ago.....That sinister sound.


Wait which song u talking about "fukk Compton" or "Step To Me"???...."Step To me" is the one where he dissed Quik. He doesnt mention Quik on "Fukk Compton." I'll agree that "Step To me" does sound dated but "fukk Compton" is still sick.


I remember being a kid and wondering if this was real....did they really beat Quiks ass and record it...LOL

Lol don't know if they beat Quiks ass, but I do know that Quik did get his ass beat by Everlast/Danny Boy, and got molly whopped in Denver and San Antonio.

 

[TheBlackSun]

Apparently Quik knows that us Coli brehs be talking about him
Peep the part at 1:04

 

[Mr. 1nighter]

Was the worst '90s rapper I could think of. Still made some fire though his producers hooked him up with some of the goat g-funk beats

def used to bang that joint hard!

how u late to the party then have the nerve to ask me why i'm sitting down when i been dancing all night?'

read thru the thread before saying foolishness

Tonight is the closest to being the stand out 90's song.

Yeah I already pointed out that Tonight is the closest thing to Quiks biggest 90's song

 

[Big Mel]

For posterity, the production on Tim Dog's 'Penecillin' On Wax' is FANTASTIC and his rhymes are so bad they're great.

Also he never had a valuable protege like how Dre had Snoop, or Timbo had Ginuwine/Missy, or Pharrell had Timberlake.

But he's definitely top 10 producers regardless

This quik hate in this thread is crazy disrespectful

"he didnt have a Shook Ones or a T.R.O.Y."

what the fukk does that even mean

those can be reasons why he wasnt bigger in the mainstream but to use that statement as to why he's not a great producer is dumb

you do realize that the bolded is what this thread is about right?

nobody is hating. some of you guys are thinking too much with your hearts, instead of thinking rationally.

Again, he got love everywhere except NY.

That's not just "down south."

Whether someone got play in NY or not before '98 has no bearing on their worth as an artist.

nikkas was crabs.

why do yall always singles out new York?

theres plenty of other places where quik got no burn.

edit: I'm not from new York.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

I was 14 or 15 when rthymalism came out, and when I listened to it that first time, that shyt went completely over my head

I couldn't fully comprehend it...this was 98...I was still deep in the mid 90s g funk...pac dead 2 years...but I was going back and copping records I didn't hear in full when they came out, cuz now I had money since I was working

my ears weren't developed for that album, revisited it when I was 18 and I was blown away

Same for me that shyt was too musical and funky kept it in the stash and loved it later

I think it has to do with the fact that his sound is more influenced by Funk than it is Hip Hop. His lane is RnB judging by his beats. Quik's production reminds me of Roger and Zapp or Parliament. He makes laid back Funk music whereas his contemporaries such as Dre and Warren G know how to produce laid back Hip Hop tracks. I think Quik's natural element is 70's influenced RnB tracks. He's always been old-school.

I also think that his rapping voice was unmarketable. It was identical to Eazy's. He needed to come up with his own unique sound rather than using Eazy's.
We have to take into account that he is a literal nutjob He likely could've never been a big producer because the moment he gets along with someone he's ready to fight them. How can you be a big producer if you get along with absolutely no one? He's clowned Dre and Suge in interviews and then praised them in the next interviews. Remember when he accused Andre 3K of telling everyone that he had AIDS?

 

[u mad son?]

DJ Quik is one of the most talented MUSICIANS in hip hop
