Quik actually produced a lot of the joints you just gave Daz credit for. Quik has spoken on it many times. He got money under the table and Suge wanted to build Daz up at the time as the next great producer since Dre was out the door. I was at a Quik show a couple weeks ago and he has a small part of the show where he says I bet you didn’t know I produced these and he pretty much played every Daz produced track off AEOM and some more from the Death Row Era Quik is by far the most underrated producer he deserves the #2 spot right after DreIf you disagree with that take you just aren’t familiar enough with his discography
Well that’s dope if you caught that exclusive at one of Quik’s shows—but…Daz was producing BOMZ in those days. So was Quik ghost producing everything, “What Would You Do”, “Who Got Gangsta Shit”, Dogg Food, “Nuthin But a Cavi”, “Me in Your World” you gonna tell me Quik was ghost producing all dem bombz?? And Quik’s thing at his show was basically him blurring the lines between “mixing” and “producing” and I’m sure Quik ain’t lying and it’s more a semantic exercise about what does it actually mean to be a “producer” (likely both contributed) but you can’t tell me Daz wasn’t capable of making those BOMBZ on All Eyez On Me and Suge had to lie for him to get credit—never that. Ya’ll are Quik groupies for some reason but one day when you die and gotta stare your maker in da Eyez y’all gone finally Rekognize — the DAZ !!!!!!!!!
There’s a couple videos from the death row vault that describes all the leftover songs from doggfather and Doggystyle. They play the beat Daz had for serial Killa before it was serial Killa and the only thing similar is the bass line. That’s the type of production Daz did. He would come with a very bare bones skeleton of a beat and other guys like soopafly Dre quik would add layers and polish it up and finalize it into the version you hearDaz definitely was not producing those classic joints on his ownEven when Daz left death row and did that Dillinger & young gotti album he had Mike Dean with him
what would u do, dogg food = drewho got some gangsta shit = daz wasn’t even credited on this one, its a soopafly solo production nothing but a cavi hit, me in your world = soopafly
Then regarding what I said replace "21 Jumpstreet" (Daz) with "Who Got Some Gangsta Shit" (Soopafly) because they are both classic and nearly interchangeable ...yes.. Quik knows how to play a fuccin flute, he brags about that shit in every interview and apparantly every concert he's so bitter about his credits remember he was complaining about the fuccin sound man or lights man his whole set at Power 106 back in the day
well you got a point there I mean he was pretty much teamed with Dre in his early prime and then in his later prime like RRGB era Soopafly was around for a lot of that and they pretty much were a team. Soopafly shares a lot of the credits on RRGB and that era of Daz music
Soopafly is the one that doesn't get the credit he deserves. THE MAN has had his hand in more hits than many people even know. And he's very humble about it. He ain't on youtube complaining about not getting credit.
