DJ Quik fucked his own career up with that TRASH beat on the Black Album

[3rd Coast]

quik gave 2  out of place beats 2 great rappers..

and both jay z and pac spit some of their best shit over it..

jay blacked out on justify

pac blacked out on heatz of men..

both basslines are problems in the trunk

Yo I was thinking the same thing. Out of all Quik's beats, it's funny that two of the most prominently placed beats of his career are beats that are very un-characteristic of him. I agree in thinking that "Justify My Thug" sucks. Too experimental. Imagine Jay-Z rapping over "Something 4 Tha Mood" - it'd be a classic.

At least Pac got to rap over Late Night and Words 2 My First Born, which are more proper Quik sounding beats.

thats the beat jay z choosed.if jay didt wat it he wouldt have used it

[blunts40sbitches]

^true......most producers send a whole cd full of beats for rappers to pick and choose from.....only producer i know that doesnt do that is Premo, who sends one beat to every rapper........and you wonder why Jay doesnt work with him anymore lol

[PG.]

OP is tripping that veat is pretty dope and i find it to be one of my fav tracks of that album but to each their own

[Maully aka [Fitted Da Boss]]

It's dope 2 me...jay likes beats that bounce he adapted 2 his style...he did a good job. Imo

[bouli77]

just wondering, how many underground rappers have platinum albums and signed the first 6 digit contract of a legendary label that had in its roster Run DMC (Profile Records) ?? quik may be under-appreciated and lowkey these days but by no means is he underground.

also I think Justify my thug is a pretty solid song. the fact that it's not Quik's usual style doesn't bother me, Quik is known to be versatile and create bizarre beats. the production is polished and classy IMO and it fits Jay's minute and precise delivery.

[D-TalkX]

Jay Z would have had to CHOOSE that beat. So obviously he liked it. The best producers make tracks to the artist's requests.

op is trippin. I have never heard the song before cuz I dont listen to jay z's music.

But on another note: quik produces words to my first born?

this:

or the version with the sax?

[Gamestarr]

That beat was and is still dope. stop hatin.

at least he managed to get a "guest-appearance"-aproval by Bun B for his last album

had to pay a price only unknown rappers should pay...quik said he got taxed heavily for the bun feat by bun...said it was business...but damn...

oh. ok. never heard the sax one until now and only listened to a little. not really feeling it. But, the one i posted I love that one.  I never knew quik produced it.

the beat is a monster, dark vibe so different from most of quiks "happy" productions
