SAFE + SOUND, DOLLAZ & SENSE, YOUZ A GANGXTA, DOWN DOWN DOWN, PITCH IN ON A PARTY, SO MANY WAYZ, TONITEHOW FAMILIAR ARE U WIT THESE CUTS, HONESTLY?
the glory boys of the 90s...gotta love em.warren g has earned his stripes but no hes not a very accomplished producer, he has classics among this niche community but none of his shit after regulate was very memorable.all he did on regulate and a bunch of those beats was loop a sample and if your lucky warren played a moog riff over it....once he got to doing the twinz album he was making some original compositions and his choice of samples was getting better but after he lost the def jam machene it seemed like his beats took a turn for the worst. im not sure if he lost his studio players or had to downgrade his equipment but he never really could find his groove after regulate...i want it all was a DOPE comeback effort but then the albums that followed it all sucked and yall know it.

All the other tracks you've mentioned I've played out on repeat... Don't take me as someone who isn't a Quik fan, I love Quik and give him madd respect and props. But those songs you mentioned are all very dope cuts, but not the stuff of legends.

THATS FLAT OUT WRONGDJ QUIK IS A LEGEND IN HIS OWN RIGHT, AND EVERY RAPPER AND PRODUCER U MENTIONED WILL VOUCH FOR THAT.
I still think everything Warren G did for other artist was straight fire. His own stuff is to be desired, but tracks like That's Gangsta by Kurupt, Nobody Does It Better with Nate Dogg, Sassy Ways with 213 and other tracks are straight fire. Not sure if Warren is not confident in himself as a rapper to give himself the good beats (although I would say Warren G the rapper is not that good) but I don't judge Warren G by his albums, but what he gave others or what beats he used when others were featured on his track. That Warren G is only second to DJ Quik and Dr. Dre in my opinion.
dj uneek was a better producer then daz or warren g.

You can't be a legend without legendary tracks. DJ Quik's career was always on the cusp of legendary status. He's like the B Team of West Coast greatest. On the A team you got 2pac, Dre, Snoop, Daz, Kurupt, Ice Cube, Nate Dogg, Warren G, Xzibit, etc... then on the B team you have the likes of DOC, DJ Quik, Rass Kass, Tray Dee, Johnny J, etc.

That Warren G is only second to DJ Quik and Dr. Dre in my opinion. wow... for us both being big time Warren G fans I totally disagree with all the details of this post.First of all, "Sassy Ways" was a Warren G song on a Warren G album.Warren G gave himself all of his best beats. His best beats are on G Funk Era, "Regulate", "Do You See", "Recognize", "So Many Ways" are the all time great, classic, timeless Warren G beats. He is very under-rated as a rapper, as his voice, flow and lyrics always matched the nostalgic sound of his production. Another lesser known classic of his was, "Still Can't Fade It" off the Show Soundtrack (best soundtrack of all time).I think he also had some of his best beats on the Twinz Conversation album but you didn't mention any of those cuts.
