I know it's borderline a waste of time to argue with a guy who is going to spend his entire post telling everyone that no one listened to Quik but then is an expert on Quik's catalog so we will go ahead.....
For the record I like Dipset, I have Dipset records in my vinyl collection, and own every album Cam has ever put out in some way shape or form.
i know it hurt your heart to read that but its true. dj quik is moreso a regional legend.
It doesn't hurt my hear that you are delusional. We've been posting on the same board forever breh.
Let's just for Wacky arguments sake that Quik is local to every thing west of Texas, Dipset is ONLY tri state. Their album is not mentioned among all time classics but Quik's are. No one over the age of 40 is talking about The Dipset album like it needs to be put up there with All Eyez on Me and Muddy Waters
It's ridiculous for you to sit and argue that vast amounts of people into Hip Hop are not familiar with Quik when he has been making records since 1989. Juelz and Jim Jones don't even make music anymore.
outside of his diss tracks & his 1st album, most of the stuff he does is corny. not saying its wack, its just corny and doesnt reasonate across the board like that.
His first album isn't even his best album
Sorry breh, Rhytalism and Safe + Sound are GREAT albums. MUCH better than the Dipset album both sonically, production wise, and rhyming wise. He took care of all of it and they did not so I don't see how you want to give them more credit.
You clearly are not familiar with his catalog or your ear itself is corny if these are corny tracks
This came out in 1989, I believe before you even attended pre-school...
I could go on and on....I don't think you are familiar with his catalog either on the production or rapping tip honestly. I know you are going to claim to have listened to his catalog but it's clear you haven't and according to you, no one else out there did.
he may be dr dre status to yall out west, but thats where it stops. and im not talking about his talent(hes more skilled than dre), im talking about the product.
So is that why Jadakiss, Jay-z, Erick Sermon, Talib Kweli, 8Ball and MJG all have beats/ songs with him? To where it stops that he is any good out west and only 'regional' ????
You can continue to ignore that if you want but it just sounds like you don't know Quik's music well but want to speak like an expert
because content is not a skill.
its merely a preference.
Not really. It takes more time to write a song telling a vivid story than it does to put together a typical Juelz verse where you are rhyming simple words together that do nothing more than say how gangsta you are.
The only 'preference' part of it is whether you personally like it. I like Juelz Nazi nazi copy papi rhymes because they make me laugh but is it beter than Nature Of A Threat verse? No. Quality is not some eye of the beholder in every instance. That is why the quality build of a mercedes is nicer than a Lexus. It isn't because you like Mercedes better, it's because it is better. There is a big difference between a national geographic video and some kid taking his smart phone to the forest. It's not what Wacky D gets more giggles out of that dictates that one is better than the other.
