The lime saying the only difference between buckwild and rza is that rza came from that wu tang infrastructure.
Quik came from The NWA Ruthless infrastructure his damn self.![]()
A lot of artists have flopped with Interscope money behind them. That list is longer than the ones that have been successful. Eminem being white was more of a risk than it was bonus for the simple fact that not many white rappers were successful. Whatever ground the Beastie Boys broke for white rappers was erased with Vanilla Ice. There is a fine line between session players and co-producers. Some session players are just credited with the instrument(s) they contributed, but if they want publishing, they then get co-producer credits.
Encore has a handful of nice beats, but most of them including the ones Dre produced/co-produced are wack. That album is nothing to brag about from the production to the writing to the overall product.
Even in the quote, Quik isn't saying what he specifically did aside from claiming "Addictive" and even then he says "we".
Bottom line is this, bruh. Dre has always had more assistance in the studio with CO PRODUCERS than Quik has. That's in the credits. Some ain't even credited.
Encore, overall, was a wack album, period. Doesn't mean there wasn't some nice beats but the final product was wack.
Eminem being a white rapper who just so happened to be able to rap and had a lane that hadn't been tapped into was a plus for Interscope and they saw the $
They both had assistance. Co-producers and session players are technicalities because both are still adding an expertise to the song that the producer lacks.
Eminem, like any artist a label signs, still presents a risk. Without the proper tutelage from Dre, Eminem would not have been successful.
Not to mention before he signed he was signed to d.o.c n suges original label
Then signed to profile
Dre left ruthless eazy was literally scouting quik in the studio bringin him everywhere he was goin all in the studio with quik durin way to fonky
Then profile blocked eazy from making that move

Also the fact Quik was really in those Bompton streets and Dre was a fraudulent CB4 ass nikka.
Free is charismatic on the mic and when performing, but Free doesn't have half charisma that Snoop does. For one, Free is not a "camera ready" dude. Nor is he someone that you want in front of the cameras for a long period of time; if you're trying to create and control a brand. Free didn't have the business acumen, or the ability to separate his business in the streets from what he does in the studio. Snoop knows when to turn his shyt on and off, and which side to play up in front of the camera's.But to say he lacks the charisma Snoop has, I don't know about that. From a non commercial point of view and just looking at the both of them as unfiltered artists, I'd say he's just as charismatic as Snoop. Suga Free is like Richard Pryor in a way. That type of comedy and "swag".

y'all notice every time Quiks music starts gaining traction something always major happens
