Quiks biggest mainstream record is Dollars and Sense, that is what everyone knows quik for.  Even peeps who don't listen to rap know that one.

quik as a solo or featuring artist or produced?

produced prolly the truth hurts track, featuring i'd day lets get down but solo track it's a tough one, maybe something quite early like dollaz and sense or tonite...

I was too young to remember or know Safe + Sound or anything before that

the songs I remember hearing most on the radio were "Hand In Hand" and "Pitch In On a Party"

Dollars and Sense was on the MWTC OST.  Thats how I got into quik.  That is when Deathrow was straight running the rap game.  I dunno if it got played on the radio or in clubs much back then, but I would definately bet that it got quik more exposure than any other song he has ever done.

Yeah I was referring to DJ Quik as a solo artist.

And "Dollaz + Sense" was a big record, but I dont' think it was anywhere close to his biggest mainstream record. In fact, I only remember hearing it on the radio a few times throughout my entire life :(

how about Justify My Thug off the Black Album (as far as production) ? wasnt released as a single but every1 knows that LP
Title: Re: DJ Quik's Biggest Mainstream Record?
Post by: R-Tistic on February 18, 2007, 08:58:07 PM
I donno....I'd say "Tonite" because it came out when he was on the cover of the Source....and because that's the only Quik song I've heard on radio in Tallahassee FL since I've been out here.

Dollaz and sense prolly is up there too. For songs he's produced...shit it's a grip, Addictive, Heartz of men, and definitely Let's get down.

I'd say Tonite, I still hear it on the radio from time to time now, and everyone knows that song.  But I remember "Hand In Hand" was pretty popular back when Rhythm-al-ism came out, that's the first Quik song I ever heard, that's how I got into him.  But they used to play "Down Down Down" and "You'z A Ganxta" on the radio too back in those days.

I saw him get X'd on The Jamie Kennedy Experiment show once!!! And that was on Danish TV, I was shocked as a mutha ;D


About the question in the question: Quik Is The Name is, to the furthest extend of my knowledge, Quik's biggest record ever. Think Way 2 Fonky did pretty well sales-wise too. But most of his records sold at least 500,000 copies I read 8)

I've never heard Quik being played in the UK; Mark Morrison once scored a minor hit in 1997 using the Dollaz + Sense beat tho.

well i think the matter of the topic was loosin it, we talkin about the biggest mainstream record... so the best records quik do to me are:

In the first place Lets Make a V from KING T, then we got lets get down from TTT, we still party, pitch in on a party, tonite, somethin 4 the mood, the safe + sound album and rhythmalism album was tight, we dont love'em from Top DOgg, freak and you know it... damnn a lot of hot tracks!

I don't have it apart from a radio rip on tape somewhere - it's called "Who's The Mack?" ft. Dark MC (lol) for those who have good torrents/file sharing networks.

Quik's biggest "mainstream" record as a solo artist is easily "Tonite" not "Dollaz and Sense"..."Dollaz and Sense" is more of a hit street record....Everyone knows "Tonite" simply by it's intro, if nothing else...."Let's Get Down" is also easily Quik's biggest "mainstream" record and is also his personal favorite among all the traccs he's produced and featured on...Being able to work with Toni Tony Tone was a big deal to him and a big accomplishment career wise, in his eyes.
