BC wasnt even active like that when Pac died and Eazy died.BC would surely have produced for thsoe acts as well, if he was around back thenhe wa active by then, he produced Domino's self titled project, which went gold, he had placements on gold-selling albums (AmeriKKKa's Nightmare), he was producing the Bangin On Wax albums, he was producing for Michael Jackson's protégés (Quo), he also was doing remixes left and right, even producing for Tom Jones & Dana Dane lmao, he just didn't have the same status as DJ Quik who was a frontman, with a sizable contract on Profile Records and who was estabished nationwide.but the argument you're making isn't clear, what are you trying to say ? that he's not a game changing producer ? well he's not in the same league as Dre, Pete Rock & Primo and Large Professor, but he's kinda underrated, as he did a lot of uncredited work (or semi credited) on some of the biggest records (AEOM and a lot of Aftermath related stuff). i'm not sayin he's the goat or anything, you ask if he's underrated, i say in general yes

BC wasnt really active in the indsutry in the early 90's. he was known as DJ Battleact. he got his break wit "We can Freak it" for Kurupt.and Snoop solidified him as a "go-to-guy-producer" when he called on him for the Eastsidaz-projects. he was just a guy who had some -b-side remixes on 12inches before that, save one or 2 songs on OST's and projects every now n then. and during the short time BC have had, he produced for Eminem, Dre, Talib Kweli, Lil Kim, Raphael Saadiq, Tyrese, Xzibit, Brain McKnight, Faith Evans plus every westcoast-artist in history (he has a vast production-repertoïre wit classics for everybody and their mama on the west)i dont really c a big difference between his so-called "clout" and Mr Quik.the point wasnt even to compare the 2 guys wit each other to begin with,i was focusin on Quik, and the way people tend to hail him as this "industry-legend".. which is weird, when he can't even get work on his own coast, or get co-signed by Snoop.

'let's get down' is one of the best crossover records ever. easily better than anything battlecat has ever done (sorry battlecat). not that's his only classic record, but it's well recognised and with a known act. but that shouldn't matter when evaluating the merits of music - sales and affiliations...quik's strength is definitely in MUSIC production though. i'd say he hasn't had a chance to work with some of the better vocalists out there. i'd concede his ear for upcoming rappers seems to be a lil dubious at times tho. but the small amount of stuff he did with nate dogg is superb, 2pac he engineered/mixed/co-produced at least half of AEOM. i'd list almost all of his production discography as musically classic and a decent amount as classic tracks in their own way, mainstream success or not.

I like some of Quiks music , but not all of it . On this forum he is overrated , but in the music industry hes not
