dr. dre vs dj quik (one song comparison)

[SGV]

LOL. You're just back peddling man. You said you could write a classic diss record. But, you can't. You're just talking and not walking. Lyrics matter the most in a diss. Fuck what you heard.

I could say: You swallow sperm. That's not a very hot line. But, like Masta Ace flipped it, "You can't spit so you obviously must swallow." That's hot. So, I really can't see what you're babbling about. Flow and beat are just added extras, if Eminem would've flipped Dre's lines better, it would've been hot. But, he didn't so it came out wack. It's all about how it's written.

You wouldn't think you're underrated unless you thought highly of yourself.

Neither of us talk to Quik, so we don't know if he was being sincere or humble, I think he was being humble, you think sincere. It's black and white.

there's nothing special about the way it's said, I coulda written that

^^first time I mentioned this

the lyrics are nothin special, I can write them

^^last time.. no "back peddling" at all, it's exactly the same.. what I claimed is that I'm able to write lyrics which aren't special (they still could be the lyrics to a classic diss track).. the point of me saying that is obviously not that I'm a great writer (in that case u'd be right about me having to prove it) but that the one who wrote Dre Day wasn't a great writer either or at least he didn't show it in this diss..

tell me which lines from Dre Day are outstanding great..



and the example of that punchline is totally of point again.. wasn't u the one claiming lyrical skill doesn't even matter in a diss..? being able to write dope punchline is part of having lyrical skill, so u claiming the opposite of what u previously claimed.. weird

You wouldn't think you're underrated unless you thought highly of yourself.

as i told u before why this point ain't valid, lemme just quote myself again since u don't seem to have noticed.. "he knows he's one of the best that's why he's pissed about being underrated but that doesn't mean he doesn't think Dre is better"    ... thinkin that u are the 2nd best producer in the world u are still thinkin highly of urself, aren't u..?

as i told u before why this point ain't valid, lemme just quote myself again since u don't seem to have noticed.. "I don't have to guess on whether he has to hear he's the best or not, since none of us knows what's going on in his mind.. I can't and I don't have to prove what's goin on in his mind, it's not possible, get this already.. the only fact we got is what Quik says"

I guess u are tryin to piss me off by acting a retard but it ain't gon work


let's just summarize it like this

He'd like to get his props, but he doesn't need to hear his the best or anything, Quik knows it

Quik thinks Dre is better. I think Quik is being humble, you don't.

u were wrong, but that's okay.. the important thing is, u obviously realized it..

IMO Both Quik & Dre are on the same level.  But dre gets more recognition.  They both produce the 'traditional' way.  Both use live instruments, and don't record digitally.  Both use musicians, both use ghost producers or co-producers.  IMO, quik is more musical, but dre's got the ear for quality.

I agree with you there man.

I go with Dre he's my favourite artist of all time..

Quik is maybe on a higher level for certain things, but to me Im going with Dre.

its really just a matter of opinion
