How come DJ Quik never blew up like that?

[3rd Ward Swangin]

Quik probably could have been bigger as a rapper. He has platinum Album's and producing credits on Jay Z and big artist Albums.

Dude is super bipolar and crazy ass hell.

 

[Peter Popoff]

DJ Quik was like the curren$y of Cali. Criminally underrated and stayed in his own lane.

I can sort of understand where OP is coming from... Quik isn't a "celebrated" legend like Jay, Nas, Dre, Pac, Cube, Prodigy of Mobb Deep, etc. So to younger posters it seems like he never "blew up". Maybe its because he doesn't regularly drop music in modern times to keep his name buzzing.

The last Album he dropped.

He was supposed to do something with Scarface year's ago

Still slaps

Heard in an interview he said he's sold 100 million records. 3 for himself, the other 97 producing for others.

Pitch in on a Party



“Alright somebody bring the potato salad and
let's take a ballot on who gonna invite
the hoes that make the party valid”

Cool, never listened to DJ Quik, gone have to check his tracks.



This reminds me of this Alchemist produced song with Nas and Prodigy, "Tik Tok"

Quik should've collabo-ed with more East Coast MCs.

Quik hasn’t dropped a album in almost a decade.

the only 90s HH producer that is still recognized by a casual audience under 30 is Dre at best

most young casuals cant tell you shyt about a 90s HH

Many dont know a 00s producer, only ones they know is Kanye.

 

[3rd Ward Swangin]

he had cataracts, was in a car, looked like dude had a gun, and suge is older now, even Mob James who hates him says no one touched suge in the 90s.

Yeah he lying and he was at his richest back then. A dude knocked him and Buntry out in the club in the 90's. Even Reggie Junior admitted it happened.

Bone had a radio and he had already stole on Suge through the window. Suge was too scared to get out and catch the fade after threatening Bone.

 

[King Sun]

Truth Hurts song kinda handicapped him.

 

[Mowgli]

I heard you like to do Extacy....

lol reggie said an altercation happened with some people affiliated with death row while reggie and suge was there, Bruce Richardson was about to turn the heat up on the artist but suge talked him out of it.

Quik is a producer's producer. He never reached Dre's success but he has had as much impact on the game in his own right and has evolved his soundscape to dizzying heights.

I think the other thing is Dr. Dre has a better eye and a better knack for bringing in talent.

The guy has produced for damn near every big name in the industry. Change this thread to CAC acceptance
