so...i guess we are doing this thread once a month now
lol @ whoever said dj quik is more complex than dre.......like someone said before me it's all a matter of taste when you say a song is whack or what not, but if you examine each and every one of their beats Dre comes out on top when it comes to quality. although i put quik as number 2 his "complexity" is not that high. even when he's playing the flute he's playing basic notes and scales. for example anyone who learned to play Flutaphone in school, alot of the stuff he's doing is just a fancier "hot crossed buns" . OR he threw in a clever sample from a one hit wonder funk artist, and the average fan just rolls with the punches and thinks quik composed that line.

I see what u are sayin, but on the songs listed, he is playin some piano chords and guitar chords that aren't taught on tha flutaphone in school. I know some of his songs may not be much more complex than Dre's, but a lot of them are. Dre's songs usually don't have a lotta musical depth, they hit hard and all but usually they don't have the same depth as Quik.
I agree but I think he's better for other reasons as well.Musically, anyone who knows what real, layered, complex, and challenging music is, will say DJ Quik is levels ahead of Dr. Dre. My dad is a jazz producer, and many of his friends are OGs in Jazz, and ALL of them say DJ Quik is much more talented as far as real music goes. Some of the beats that are Quik's most musical beats, aren't the ones that appeal to many people who like rap, just because they don't realize how challenging and creative some of it is. Some of the songs that Jazz musicians love most from Quik are:2nd II None - If we ain't fuggin, Back up off the wall, Why, Don't do dat, PartySuga Free - On my way, Tip ToeQuik - No Doubt, You'z a gangsta, Thinkin bout you, Rhythmalism intro, We Still party, Whatever you do, ALL of the Quiks grooves but especially #6, Roger's Groove, Well

Dre is already considered the best producer in rap, and most people who like rap think Dre is the best producer, even tho most of em haven't heard much of DJ Quik...so the Quik fans who feel Quik deserves recognition will make these sorts of threads to let people kno how they feel. It's no need for a Dre fan to do that, it's like Lakers fans repeatedly postin on why Kobe is better than McGrady, even tho most people think (well know) Kobe is better.
this does definatly NOT go for dubcc.. anybody in here knows Quik and every single thread about him incluedes some hatin on Dre and there's a whole bunch of people who will tell how right the one who started the thread is and how much better Quik is in every single one of these threads too...Quik is gettin way more love than Dre on here right now.. no hatin at all and allotta dickrydin too..I'm not even bothering to give this Realizm groupie the attention he needs.. I just think being the one to trip about europeans on this board he should know the difference between "except" and "accept" but oh well..
Well yeah, on this board u will see a lot of Quik fans...but the reason that they feel as they do, and tend to hate on Dre, is because outside of a few internet boards, and outside of L.A., most people will say Dre is much better than DJ Quik, so they jus voice their opinions on it here.
