Why isn't Daz ever mentioned in the same breath as DJ Quik?

[Ohene]

DJ Quik is one of those producers whose fanbases ride hard for them I've noticed. I've recently started listening to his catalogue and he's dope. Not Alchemist or Dr. Dre dope IMO...but very dope. Nonetheless, I always hear him mentioned as the GOAT West Coast producer. I'm not saying those who say that are wrong. To me Daz is on the same level as Quik but he's never mentioned. Why is that? :jbhmmm: Revenge Retaliation & Get Back was a banger. Dogg Food was fire. And he has a track record of making more hits too.

Some of my fave underrated Daz beats




Streetz iz a motha is probably the best use of Ike's Mood by the way. I dare somebody to argue

Why isn't Daz held in high regard as someother producers?

 

[Juggalo Fred]

because he's a crackhead liar

 

[Dotcom]

because people always refer to em as just Snoop cousin...which is pretty dope but he also is one of the west legends in his times

 

[JMD]

Daz is as good as the people he works with...when he's producing with Dre, Soopafly or Mike Dean he is dope

 

[TransJenner]

He was GOAT , but now from 2000 and beyond his shyt sounds cheap as fukk

Besides that currency song

 

[ThisWorldAintRight]

If his shyt stayed on the same level as his deathrow stuff he would be, but he fell off hard once he left. The shyt he put out after "R.A.W." has been subpar for the most part. He's gotta work with a dope co-producer to put out good shyt. Quik uses co-producers as well but can do just fine on his own.

 

[THE 101]

He had a nice lil run for a couple of years. Nothing more than that.

 

[FuckAllY'all77]

Quik>>>>>Daz

And i fukked with all that shyt heavy growing up in the 90s

Daz first album underrated tho, never understood the hate it caught

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

He had a nice lil run for a couple of years. Nothing more than that.

Pretty much. He will always have his place in the DPG/Snoop Dogg hierarchy of westcoast hip hop and that classic Deathrow era but after that it was really hit or miss.

If you want a simple answer....Quik has made classic music and albums on his own. Daz has not. Daz always comes as part of a package or tied with someone else. Whether its a DPG album or producing with say Fredwreck on Kurupt's solo.

 

[FeloniousMonk]

Because Quik put out commercial projects whereas Daz went underground after the Death Row debacle..

Shyt even Kurupt put out a couple of nationally promoted projects as a solo artist after the fact.

 

[FeloniousMonk]

Kurupts Beat!

daz has always had help most of his career...u ever wonder why in the dogg pound dogg food credits..david blake appears randomly

early daz..uses quiks trademark bells flute n bassline
after death row died...daz was with mike dean..

daz is good...he is a fast learner...daz is waaaaaaaaay better than warren g

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

alchemist is in my top 5 but dj quik >>>>

daz is def underrated

 

[Danie84]

Folks just don't realize how much input he had in Dre's Death Row's CLASSICS

 

[H. Selassie]

Daz is too inconsistent. Too many lapses in quality in between his best works while Quik has produced consistently dope, notable music since '91.

When he's focused Daz is awesome but I can't put him in the discussion with Quik, Battlecat, or Dre when talkin GOAT Westcoast producers. He's in tier 2 with LT Hutton, Warren G, Rick Rock, etc.
