How come DJ Quik never blew up like that?

[Oatmeal]

Yep. Quik had AMG, 2nd II None, Suga Free, and Mausberg. All talented too, but not what Dre was working with. Plus Quik's albums never were completely good to me. No personal classics for me. He's talented though. Love all his Grooves.

It ain't nothing like black pxssy on my dik, word to the muthafckin DJ Quik!

 

[Roid Jones]

He was undersized for his position

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

He used to post on sohh and early coli

think that’s how he got Murphy Lee on one of his tracks

Still slaps

Classic, 1st time I heard this I was in grade school, never forget it, heard it coming from a Chevy Blazer beating down the street with sounds. Bought the tape then the cd later on, damn near every track on that album was a whole different sound at the time.

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.

 

[Chris Cool]

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

He dropped an album in 17.

 

[Sccit]

NOBODY FUCCS WIT HIS MUSIC EXCEPT FOR MEXICANS? LMAO

U DEF NOT FROM THE WEST COAST

HE’S NOT MORE TALENTED THAN DRE.. DRE IS THE ONLY PRODUCER TO HAVE A PRODUCTION CREDITED TO HIM ON A QUIK ALBUM

QUIK IS A GOAT BUT DRE IS THE GOAT

AND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, QUIK WAS BIG IF U WAS AROUND IN THE LATE 90S .. ESPECIALLY ON THE COAST

HE PRODUCED SOME OF THE GREATEST RECORDS EVER AND EVEN GHOST PRODUCED ON ALL EYEZ ON ME

U SPITTIN BLASPHEMY HERE BRODIE

 

[Sccit]

easy, never had a big hit. He had west coast hits but didn't hit the radio like N.W.A or Death Row.

FALSE .. HE HAD PLENTY OF HITS ON THE RADIO

MAYBE NOT AS BIG AS THE OTHERS, BUT STILL GOT SPINS NONETHELESS

LMAO @ QUIK NOT HAVIN CLASSIX

 

[Sccit]

Dre often took credit for other nikkas beats though.

BIGGEST LIE IN HIP-HOP HISTORY SMH ITS THE OTHER WAY AROUND. DRE HAS HISTORICALLY GIVEN CATS CREDIT WHILE DOIN MOST THE PRODUCTION (ALA DOGG FOOD)

EVEN QUIK ADMITTED THAT ONCE HE FINALLY WORKED WIT DRE HE REALIZED WHY DRE IS THE GOAT

HE CREDITS DRE FOR GHOST PRODUCING “ADDICTIVE”

 

[George's Dilemma]

LMAO @ QUIK NOT HAVIN CLASSIX

Reading is fundamental. No personal classics for me. I'll take Music to Driveby over his entire discography.

 

[Sccit]

Quik, Daz, DOC, Scott Storch, Hitman & others helped with that

 

[Sccit]

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.

PRODIGY?

YOU GOTA BE KIDDIN ME

 

[Sccit]

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

U REALLY LOST MAKIN THREADS TALKIN OUT YOUR ASS HERE MAYN

QUIK HAS AN ALBUM WIT PROBLEM FROM A FEW YEARS BACK CALLED ROSECRANS THAT IS A NEAR CLASSIC

AND SOME PEOPLE THINK JA RULE IS A BETTER RAPPER THAN NAS

BUT HEADS RECOGNIZE WHATS REALLY REAL

QUIK HAS MULTIPLE CLASSIX AND ONE OF THE GOAT DISCOGRAPHYS IN RAP HISTORY
