I think Quik is perfect where he is. He's so precious why would we want to share him with mainstream. With mainstream comes more issues. Quik is still paid and still have the freedom to walk down the street in peace. He's sooo sexy after all these years. I'm a southern girl, yet he is still to this day my most favorite westcoast rapper.
He isn't underrated most just dont understand good music. Best producer. Better than Dre. Idc what anyone says. He blended all kinds of music together.
This song and video shows why Quik was never PUSHED and PROMOTED to the level and status of Dre. He elevated past the degenerate gang banging, weed-head image and caricature that was created for west coast rappers to follow by the industry. It’s great to be able to look back in retrospect and actually see this. He transcended into an actual musician that was conscious of his influence and its power over others. The industry doesn’t reward that.
Perfectly stated and Snoop supports the idea of peaceful coexistence between artists. Sadly, violence and lewdness in music is what keeps the top brass living in luxury while society suffers the effects DJ Quik gave us a masterpiece with this track even adding a certain early 70'd Sugar hill gang hip hop flavor
Most of my life I thought that Dr Dre was the best & most talented producer from Compton then I randomly found a DJ Quik & instantly a fan of him. I love his sound
This is one of the songs that represent a father-son moment with my youngest son. I use to play this all the time when he was a little two year-old. Fast forward to him as a grown man now and we riding in the car bumpin this and he says he remember it when he was little.
Dj Quik has a unique rap style. Absolutely complete. He has replaced all my favorite rappers, he's at the top of the food chain. Love the rhythm, the video, everything. I showed this to one of my friends whose not so much into hip hop and he found this amazing. Now he knows who dj Quik is.
Dj Quik should have been propelled to billionaire status. With his severely underrated production including for 2pac, tone tony toni, suga free etc. he should have joined NWA the moment Ice Cube left. He is arguably the best west coast producer ever. Rapper top 15 all-time.
Youz a gangsta is one of the top 5 hip hop songs of all time! See some don't realize the power of lyrics cause when you rap about death you talking to spirits, you see you can say the things that help us all ball or you can say things that make it bad for us all...... One love quiksta always and forever we fly! Jah bless!
He's great... I'm from queens ny.. he's my favorite west coast artist.. along side suga free..these cats got the west coast laid back flow on lock.. NYC music uptempo.. real aggressive. This rap is totally appreciated.
Man he's so deadly on the mixing board I swear he just know how to makes music so clean that's why I love him about artists in the producer he's a musician artist
His stretch of rhythm-al-ism and balance and options from 98 to 2000 is so legendary to me. I think those are two of the dopest back-to-back rap albums ever released
Reason y Quik didn't make it big although having some good music.....is because he never sold out he never pushed someone else's agenda in his music he Did it his way and unfortunately if you don't play by there rules you get no promotion or radio play
Agree, he has money is a fact and is okay if u think in get 8 digits or more but in the music if u get 8 digits probably u lost ur essence like artist, Quik choose keep it like a reallegend, be himself and get respect in the game.
"See some don't realize the power of lyrics 'cause when you rap about death you talkin' to spirits You see you can say the things that can help us all ball or you can say things that make it bad for us all fix the problem the only way is come to the source don't be a Trojan Horse help us change the course"
It was a death row party back in '95. I read that quik busted a nigga head open with a champagne bottle then the rest of the mob piru bloods who was there with quik started kicking and stomping the shit out the nigga while he was on the floor until dude stopped breathing
Such a underated ARTist... DJ Quik Is a jack of all trades... He rap, produce and engineers, which = pure art dats 🔥🔥🔥🔥.... U know a quik beat when u hear it 9 times out of 10... True timeless art dat just so happens to be muzik
20 years later and its so up to date.not many have that....i still bang his songs and i gotta say it still puts me on that frequency.absofuccinlutly one of the best producers in the world!!!
Wow. Never seen the video to this before. Quik is one of the greatest producers of all time. So under rated. I wish he got the recognition he deserved...this nigga is a genius. Oh and if any of y'all like old school westcoast tracks then peep me out...!
Can someone please tell me how big quik was in the 90s. Im 26 just discovered him a month ago and he’s already my new favorite 90s artist. I’m wondering why I’ve heard of cube, eazy, etc but not him.
This album defined my life in the 8th grade. I'm tellin' you somethin'. I have *really* good memories behind it. *_A certain someone_* bought it for me.😍 We were in the record store and he saw that I wanted it, but I didn't buy it right then and there. I was actually gon wait for my allowance that week, but the next thing I knew...he bought it for me. I still have the cd along w/ the letter he wrote for me.💌💖 Anyway, this is always gon be my jam as DJ Quik's music is always thorough. Trust. Why is he so doggon underrated? It kinda bothers me...
Nice story ! It's a great álbum indeed. I also remember a poppy love with the safe+sound album... Quick 's a special trademark in each of his albums other than g-funk thing, and that is the flute and his poise flow
This was an LA thing back in the day. I remember when I was younger I went to visit my cousins in ATL and they had no idea what this song was, but they liked it.
Disgusting how underrated this guy is. Talented rapper, phenomenal producer, a true musician.
BeachChairz so true
All these idiots saying he's underrated and shit need to give this shit, he isn't only people who say that shit are those who are clueless
BeachChairz heavily agreed
I think Quik is perfect where he is. He's so precious why would we want to share him with mainstream. With mainstream comes more issues. Quik is still paid and still have the freedom to walk down the street in peace. He's sooo sexy after all these years. I'm a southern girl, yet he is still to this day my most favorite westcoast rapper.
BeachChairz how so? Underground is there for a reason. Wouldn’t want to hear my favorite song on radio so yuppies can take it for granted.
Still bumping DJ QUIK in 2024🎉🎉the most underrated and I will NEVER UNDERSTAND IT🙆
Of course
He isn't underrated most just dont understand good music. Best producer. Better than Dre. Idc what anyone says. He blended all kinds of music together.
@@MrfkTH-cam definitely better than dre. Or as Pac once said ''gay ass dre" lol. I like some dre's tunes though. no offenseee here.
I’ve been trying to figure out what this song was called since high school which to add some perspective, I graduated in 2000! lol
❤❤❤

@@ytpremium7649yeah, but like it or not Snoop Dogg sold out long time 🤦♀️ Snoop used to be cool, but then it got to his head.
I have always thought of Quik as a version of Prince. Both very artistic
🎯🎯🎯
That's why he looks & sounds fresher than a tennis court 😂🧏♀️🏄🏻♂️
G = God
G = Genuine
G = Golden
Like Last It Equals = Gangsta
Best rapper/producer in hip hop history. No question!
bondagegel Big KRIT creeping up but you are correct.
And he's fine 💖🤣
Dr.Dre and DJ QUIK 😊
YiApplemikY dont forget warrenG
WesTiel, Yes, Warren G too!
Most of my life I thought that Dr Dre was the best & most talented producer from Compton then I randomly found a DJ Quik & instantly a fan of him. I love his sound
He murdered this!!!!! Quick went hard in the paint
Imagine if quik start dis tracks on todays rappers he shut them down.
No I'm not. No I'm not💪🏽
As always. 🩸

Lame profile picture 😫
@@Wsttp400 nope you are lame 😂
Ja Morant theme song
I love Quik and I love Ja
Dj Quik should have been propelled to billionaire status. With his severely underrated production including for 2pac, tone tony toni, suga free etc. he should have joined NWA the moment Ice Cube left. He is arguably the best west coast producer ever. Rapper top 15 all-time.
Can't!!! Him and Dr Dre would've collided regarding production and Quik always wanted to be in the background.
The song is dedicated to 2pac and Biggie, Dj Quik a real legend.
Especially when he didn't take any sides in their beef.
"Now some don't realize the power of lyrics cuz when you rap about death you talkin to spirits"
Damn Dj Quik went Metaphysical on yall ass
👍
💯⭐💯🎵 Westside 4 life!!!!
Look at the rap game now. Dolph, xxx, jaydayoungin, king von, fbg duck, mo3, takeoff, drakeo, geemoney, pop smoke, etc. Dj quik is a prophet
Talking bout pac and all the other rappers in his era that was on some suicidal ass lyrics 😂😂
One of the greatest producer rappers ever ...
wayyy better than kanye
Ryan Jones, No, They both cool
Who Sings The Chorus?
Kool Keith
@Lil Van Damme The simple fact that Kanye doesn't write him disqualifies him from even being in Quiks lane
This a true OG. I'm glad he is underrated. I'm glad no one talks about this Westcoast legend. True talent. Much love and respect to this guy.
One of the best rappers ever. Top 10
Fred Bradley ja true
Fred Bradley yes
Hes my favorite rapper next to ice cube and asap rocky
Who Sings The Chorus?
top 5 in the West
top 20 of all time
Musical Genius. Whatta beat, only Quik, only 1% of producers where u hear 2-3 seconds and you already know who produced it, Quik is one of them. 🐐
Quik's 2 chord progressions have such a soothing feeling. King of G-Funk period
Him and battlecat
Youz a gangsta is one of the top 5 hip hop songs of all time! See some don't realize the power of lyrics cause when you rap about death you talking to spirits, you see you can say the things that help us all ball or you can say things that make it bad for us all...... One love quiksta always and forever we fly! Jah bless!
Most underrated G-funk era rapper ever.

Quik is too smooth. My favourite
Out of the hundreds of top tier rappers that have come out in the past 50 years Quik has to be in the top 30-40 ever..
Judge Snoop😉 Classic
Not guilty!
Give him some weed after court then your all safe😂😂
Snoop was instrumental in squashing the beef between Quik and Eiht…
Give Quik his flowers now, this guy is an incredible all around musician.
I been a big DJ QUIK fan since day one. DJ QUIK always on top of the TREES .🏆
🌴 ❤
Quick ALWAYS had tight beats and a deep flow.
Some don’t realize the power of lyrics cause when you talk about death, you talking to spirits
Really strong lyrics.

Quik is a legend! One of the most underrated rap artists of all time.
Whenever it's a beautiful sunny day in Cali I always have to play Dj Quik when I'm driving. It's pretty much mandatory now

Sentimental punk music
Pop Corn

West Coast legend
I love he changed his life for the better I always loved Dj quik keep it up he is still fine
There’s not a rapper dead or alive that can rap a story better than DJ Quick.
Dj quick is definitely a legend
rythmalism >>>>>>
His stretch of rhythm-al-ism and balance and options from 98 to 2000 is so legendary to me. I think those are two of the dopest back-to-back rap albums ever released
2018 and Still Bumpin'🎶🎶🎶💿✏
😎
Add 1 more to that add it up and keeping adding it up.
You said it!!
2021
This was super big of him to do this!
Much respect for anyone to go against what he was known for and change the Story from that point forward.
2:34 Wow!! Rappers of today need to listen to this part. He was telling everyone this in 98 smh
I love Quik! Tells like it is, not afraid to bare his soul on wax while putting out a good message.
💯 always speak your mind if they don't like it fuck them.
This man David Blake aka DJ Quick is so uniquely phenomenal when it comes to producing. Very very underrated.
“Dont be a trojan horse help us change the course” that shit went over every ones head. #Bars
Death Row didn't understand
People slept on Quik...
Reason y Quik didn't make it big although having some good music.....is because he never sold out he never pushed someone else's agenda in his music he Did it his way and unfortunately if you don't play by there rules you get no promotion or radio play
integraDA87 he was still very successful and more importantly RESPECTED.....
Agree, he has money is a fact and is okay if u think in get 8 digits or more but in the music if u get 8 digits probably u lost ur essence like artist, Quik choose keep it like a reallegend, be himself and get respect in the game.
Short Dog
Book of David was fire.... Trauma too
He made it very big wth are you talking about?
If youre talking bout souls bro produced for jay z
It's crazy how I grew up listening Quik all of the time, although my family is from Tragniew Park. You go to show love to his artistry.
I hope you cats are building bridges...
Straight classic from the west coast.
90s hiphop is like no other 💪🔥
This man said "when you're rapping about death you're talking to spirits" Then yall act shocked when some of these rappers die violent deaths
You just can't fade the Quiksta!!! Best rapper/producer ever...period.
Donald B agreed

"See some don't realize the power of lyrics

You see you can say the things that can help us all ball
or you can say things that make it bad for us all
fix the problem the only way is come to the source
don't be a Trojan Horse help us change the course"
Respect. Real Game. Quiks ability to express his truth and vulnerability makes him an all time great. Period.
One of the best west coast producers in history who never gets all of the props he deserves
dope vid from the legendary DJ Quik!!!!!
Great story telling. West Coast legend for sure!
"There's a difference between bein a thug and bein down" Just encompasses that LA West Coast attitude.
MAC 10 was wild but Quik was outnumbered in the club. He still walked away with minor injuries in the fight. That's Quik a real G
It was a death row party back in '95. I read that quik busted a nigga head open with a champagne bottle then the rest of the mob piru bloods who was there with quik started kicking and stomping the shit out the nigga while he was on the floor until dude stopped breathing
Ja Morant need to listen to song.
Quick is legendary my inspiration he’s a OG and talks about the true
Underrated Asf one of the best "PRODUCERS" from the West Coast. We love Quik out West coming from South Central L.A. Take Bread
"When your rapping about death your talking to spirits." - Dj Quick
Dj Quik- genius in making music and an outstanding lyricist.
Such a underated ARTist... DJ Quik Is a jack of all trades... He rap, produce and engineers, which = pure art dats 🔥🔥🔥🔥.... U know a quik beat when u hear it 9 times out of 10... True timeless art dat just so happens to be muzik

Absolutely correct..... I've been saying that ever since he came out
But we west coast..!!!

The best in West
By far my favorite DJ Quik song

When you explain your side in music back then it was deeper than what others thought
