So this album isn’t going to be as heavily West Coast influenced as your previous collaborations?Quik: Yeah, it’s not. We’ve done it before, over and over again. When the results don’t match the input — if you’re putting a lot in and getting a little out — I think it’s time to walk away from that slot machine and go gamble somewhere else.
sounds like he's going at dre with that i ain't a ruthless guy/never stole publishing shit "Quik, many regard you and Dr. Dre as the best West Coast producers ever. But it seems Dre gets most of the mainstream attention.Quik: Of course he will. Dre is a good businessman. He knows how to sell stuff. My thing is — I was always emotionally driven by the music. I think when you give so much of yourself to one thing, you become one-sided and out of balance. So I think that caused the industry to not respect me as much as other people. I’m not a ruthless guy. I’m not robbing anybody for their publishing. I guess you gotta be a shark in this game. I just wasn’t a shark. And I guess, me being dyslexic as I am, or whatever, I thought I didn’t know the business and that’s the furthest from the truth."

now that im older, i realize there comes a time when everyone falls off... u see it a lot in sports and music... and its difficult to witness when someone who did it so brillantly no longer does it with the same passion and intensity very few artists / athletes can sustain that hunger and determination for decades... i used to think quik would always bring heat, but these interviews where he talks about conforming to what's hot at the moment seem to contradict everything that made me love his music over the years on an unrelated note, i saw NaS live in concert last nite so i cant be depressed about the current state of hip hop musicpeace
