Look out for the “Greatest Hits Live” DVD coming soon from DJ Quik and the Mad Science camp.
I recently had the opportunity to attend the DJ Quik Greatest Hits Live show at the House of Blues on Sunset. Here is a brief review I found, written by BEN QUI�ONES of L.A. Weekly. (This review is in reference to the February 3rd show)
“My Grammy Week got poppin� tonight with a DJ Quik show that was off the hinges! A perm’d out Quik walked out and warned the audience, �This is something you don�t see in a hip-hop show.� True that: With a nine-piece live band and two back-up singers, Quik began to rap (or sing, really) classics from his first album, Quik Is the Name, like �Sweet Black Pussy,� �Born and Raised in Compton,� and the cool irie -feelin� reggae hit �Tha Bombudd.� Bass player Erick Coomes made the night sound real deep-funky, especially on the James Brown cover �The Payback.� Quik also went into his new album, Trauma, including �Fandango� � with B-Real at his side � �Till Jesus Comes,� and �Black Mercedes,� with Nate Dogg joining him onstage. Quik even brought out surprise guest Chingy on the cut �Get Down.� For the encore he performed �Tonite,� and celebrated the night with some Veuve Clicquot champagne, some bottles of which he passed out to his loyal fans. We saw producer Fredwreck, Power 106�s Big Boy, Capitol Records� Richie Abbott and the Mijares clan, Sara and Zazil. (Man, those girls can dance!) Quik finished things off by stage diving into the crowd. It was a night to remember.”
** Robert Bacon was also playing with the band throughout the whole set.
