"I ain't no big buff dude, I'm a rap singer
I exercise one muscle, that's my strap finger"

Speaking of his R&B production, I love what he did with James Debarge...

The Penthouse Players Clique "Paid Tha Cost" in 1992, featuring:
Quik
Eazy
Playa Hamm
Tweed Cadillac
AMG

-Came out on Ruthless/Priority. I have the disc. West Coast Classic!!!!!

yes he is musically talented

"one wish" Deborah Cox is a great prod.

I also like "Summerbreeze"

"Tonite" is great too - but you have to credit Kleer "Tonight" for the hook & basis of the song there...

This one has potential but the type of drum machines he's using on the song make it sound shit hoppish and I can't tolerate even an ounce of shit hop on a song. It lacks some harder pounding drums and a bassline to make it funky.

Not only is he talented, but Quik got one of the silkiest perms in the muthafuckin' game!






P.S now that I've got my computer back, My GIF game is about to explode on ya'll

I'm just talking about the music, not the song. This is one of my favorite Quik productions.

Well, overlooking the talking over the music and just listening to the music itself, those type drums sound better than a lot I've heard in shit hop but they they still are too soft sounding and there's no bassline. Hard drums and a bassline are what make a song sound funky and without them, most songs just sound bland. Not to mention, the tempo is waaaay too slow.

When I say things like this, a lot of people say...."Well, when you add those things, you are just trying to make them make funk and everyone doesn't have to make funk". Well, yeah, when you think about it, maybe that is the problem I have with it, they have taken the funk elements out and it's no longer funk and no longer danceable. But no, everyone doesn't have to make funk. But anybody worth a damn would....and should.

That's the verse I thought about when I read the title of this thread!
Raunchy rap DJ Quick, loved him from back in the day. That Puzzy Medley be jamming hard, with El Debarge in it!

Though I'm a fan of hip-hop and an artist myself, I know where you're coming from. Generally speaking I like to make jams myself that are faster than your average hip-hop joint, with harder drums and funky basslines. I like to introduce people to the funk. I think Quik strives to do that a lot of the time as well, and he's a funk fan and a talented musician as well.

I think if I went through Quik's catalog a bit, I'd certainly be able to find a few jams that you would enjoy. I'm certainly not on any kind of mission to convert you to hip-hop though - just making a point that not everything that falls under the hip-hop umbrella sounds like the "shit hop" that you despise.

First Ebonee Webb gets a 2 page thread now
DJ Quik. A change has come.

vintage interview:

I agree, DJ Quik is super talented. That's cool about Quik being a protegee of Roger's, didn't know that before. Q did an album recently with Kurupt (of the DPG) called 'Blaqkout' and a song worth checking out is 'Hey Playa'.

thetimefan said:

Yep, Roger was the one who taught Quik & Erick Sermon how to play the "talk box".

THIS IS MY FUCKIN' JAM. Especially the second verse. I was listening to this last week while cleaning the house and got hyper than a mug. My dogs were like

Now compton is the place where the homeboys chill, you see
But then I found that it wasn’t no place for me
Cause way back in the day somebody musta wanted me to quit
Because they broke in my house and cold stole my shit
They musta thought that I was gonna play the punk role
Just because my equipment got stole
But I ain’t goin out like no sucker-ass clown
They found they couldn’t keep a dope nigga down
So here’s some bass in your face, muthafucka silly sucker-
Ass clocker, now you’re duckin, cause you can’t stop a brother
Like the quiksta, because I’m true to the game
You’re lame, and things ain’t gonn’ never be the same
Cause a nigga like the quik is takin over
I really don’t think I should have to explain
It, oh yeah, I’m a dog, but my name ain’t rover
And I’m the kinda nigga that’s feelin no pain
Sometimes I have to wear a bullet-proof vest
Because I got the ’cpt’ sign written across my chest
A funky dope brother never ceases to impress
My name is dj quik, so you can fuck the rest
I’m comin like this, and I’m comin directly
Cause suckers get dain-bramaged if I’m doin damage quite effectively
Rhymin is a battlezone, and suckers have no win
Cause I’m a veteran from the c-o-m-p-t-o-n
Kick it

Quik....is a "supa-produsa"- in a true sense of the word! His downfall has been he gives dope tracks to less caliber rappers! Dre had Cube,Ren,Snoop,Em,DPG! Quik had 2nd to none, AMG,etc. Later Quik got Pac,Jay on a few joints.

Quik also used Rob Bacon alot! Other than his own releases...he put it down on the Penthouse Players Clique,2nd to None,Suga Free, Mausburg...in short Quik is that dude...who's who in hip-hop knows

After listening to "Born and Raised in Compton" for the first time in the 7th grade, that song still goes hard.
