Californ-i-a by way of BK
what songs was Rakim shoutin them out? im talkin bout shoutin out street dudes in your raps... i think Quik took that to the mainstream level

"Next stop was mine, a familar scene
I was meeting my friend, Killer Ben in Fort Green" - Rakim on What's on Your Mind back in 1992

Just one example

alot of rappers shout out hood legends in they raps but Quik was the first that brought that into mainstream hiphop... when people talk about who's the realest rappers of all time you always hear Quik's name come up because he actually grew up with these cats he shouts out



56sec mark... Quik giving Young Jeezy the story behind some of the dudes he shouts out




the joint Young Jeezy was rapping to Quik - Safe and Sound :ahh:
DJ Quik - Safe + Sound - YouTube




1991 classic



Triple O.G. T Rodgers cosigns Quik's street cred
