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.

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.

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.

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!

what about "Put it on Me" ??? ... that track was playing in Training Day at eva mendez' spot... that movie is one of my all-time favorites


but id have to say "tonite" as far as solo and no doubt "addictive" for production

peace

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.
