Dunno why homie has never gotten the props i think he deserves. I got all his albums and still put his shit on heavy rotate in the whip. It's something bout dat nigga's smooth ass beats and his flow dat makes me like his music. My older brother used to bump nothin but westcoast shit and i guess i just grew to really gravitate towards they beats n shit iounno. Watchall niggas thank?




 
Man Quik don't get love in the hood. Half these young cats don't even know who he is. Damn right he's slept on. As far as rappers/producers goes he's top 5 all time for me. Been sayin' that shit. I'd rank him as one of the best to ever come out of the West. Probably older heads appreciate what dude has done for music but I agree with topic creator. Dude is slept on heavy. Dude is diverse as hell with the boards. He's produced for Talib Kweli, Jay, Luda, Pac, Jodeci just to name a few. If you ever get a chance go cop that Quik is The Name.

I don't know. When you hear dudes speak on the 90's hip hop scene which I do talk about with my boys frequently, you rarely if it all hear about Quik. Maybe its regions. I stay in Dallas so maybe i'm speaking from a outsiders perspective. Maybe dudes on the West give him more love but down here dudes don't give Quik the respect he deserves as a musician. And I don't really blame anyone for that. He's sort of had a under the radar career. A lot of dudes probably just know him as a rapper.
 
If not slept on artist, DEFINITELY one of the best slept in, if not THE best slept on producer in the game...ever...bar none! He deserves all of his props.

Shhhhhhhit we know Quik my way, I would have him up there in my top 5 too no doubt
 
Quik been doin it for years, and he IS still relevant. Dude was a underground legend in the 80's, and Hip Hop Legend in the 90's through 2008! Dude is the most versatile artist out there. He a tight ass rapper and one of the best producers in the game, rap or R&B! Any artist (established or not) on the west coast that currently want a hit album, they come to this man for production or executive production. He done tracks for artist all over the globe, dude just rap when he feel like it. As for the street, dude is a grown man and don't need to be in the streets, but his name DO still ring in the streets of LA, Compton, WATTS, Inglewood, etc.
 
Nah, he's the most slept on in the west imho. Damn near all west coast artists get no love in NY except 2pac (I know...), Snoop and Dr. Dre (no1 mentions WC, Mack 10, Ice Cube's older stuff, Yukmouth, e40, Daz, Kurupt, etc.). People are so forgetful here b/c it is a constant grind and everyone is in a rush to be the next, be the first, get ahead, people forget the greats.

I wouldn't be surprised if Quik never had any radioplay in NY, and he hardly gets the credit in magazines either. He's like the AZ or UGK of the West, but on top of that his beats are crack.

HELL THAT GHOSTRIDE IT SONG GOT MORE SPINS THEN MOST LEFTCOAST LEGENDS OUT HERE. :lol::dance:....

DJ Quik is not slept on.

That's only the political thing to say.

Like "Kurupt is slept on as a free styler."

Ever since Biggie said that shit.

Quik gets his props. And he gets that work.

There will be trailer trash in Wisconsin bumping "Tonite," drinking Natural Ice beer tonight.

if Quik aint got millions from the past 17+ years of work as a rapper/producer (which he should),

THEN HE IS SLEPT ON.

and yes, Quik is the top 5 best producers not just in hip hop,
but in black music PERIOD.
and on my list he ranks higher in Dre.

every hip hop producer should be required to watch Quiks doucumentary Visualism.

I'm an avid DJ Quik fan but to say some bullshit like that is ridiculous.

I guess you'd put Quik ahead of this cast of producers:

Roger Trotman
Babyface
Stevie Wonder
George Clinton
JJ & TL
Prince
Timbaland
Quincy Jones
DJ Premiere
Organized Noize
Dr Dre
Herbie Hancock
Etc.

Come on man?

Quik is a genius but y'all going too far with this GOAT status.

And if he doesn't have millions, that's on his paperwork skills, not the music.

And I repeat, dude is not slept on. He has the respect from his peers and millions of albums sold.

Tonite will be bumping in many of cribs and clubs tonight. One.
 
Quik is slept on because he was behind Dr. Dre's shadow. I still buy his albums. That dude is very creative. No, he did not end Mc Eights career. Both of them were ahead of their time.
 
sombody up that song that came out last summer...it wwas a club type of song. i forgot the name...but Dj quik rapped on it tho.
 
What is the story with "Player Ham?" Seriously? Did that nigga let Quick sleep on his couch back in the day or something?
 
Damn I used to look forward to hearing the instrumental "Quiks Groove" he had on each album, dem shits was always tight and at the time it was rare to hear a showcase of production skills by a rap artist. Definitely slept on in the production department.

I knew that it had to be something like that. Because Quick can't get three words out of his mouth before he's giving a shout-out to that nigga.
