Cause i am Quik.. :o :o :o :o :o :o nah just Fuckin with yall .. but its cuz i was checkin under google and Shit.. and ran into this page where it mentioned it.. and this is what it said.... DJ Quik first came on the scene in 1991, spitting hard and fast rhymes about tonight and Compton, while rockin’ a long jheri curl. Fast forward to 2007, he’s dropped the DJ, permed the hair and reunited with long-time friend and collaborator AMG to form hip hop’s newest group and production company, The Fixxers. This is a transition Quik feels is a part of his natural evolution as an artist.
“Good artists always find ways to reinvent themselves. With The Fixxers I have combined the old with the new…..an updated version of a classic name, an old but new duo with a high resolution sound and new production company formed with a good friend. This is a part of my maturation process, because I’ve realized that I can put my guard down and let someone else in and let them do what I do without being worried they’re gonna take my spot. And I’m having a good time doing it!” tells Quik.
Quik and AMG first began working together in the early 90’s, making guest appearances on each other’s albums. They are probably best known for AMG’s 1991 hit “Bitch Better Have My Money.” Both artists released their first album in 1991 (Quik, Quik Is the Name and AMG, Give A Dog A Bone). To date, Quik has released seven albums, and AMG has released five. Both artists are seasoned professionals with a passion for writing and producing great music. Now, the California natives have joined forces again to breathe variety into an industry that is currently choking on redundancy.
AMG also feels this album is an opportunity to send more positive messages to youth. “The industry needs some variety, so young people won’t keep thinking its all thugged out this and get rich that. It’s not like that. There is more to life and if your goal is to make money we need more people encouraging them to do it the right way,” he says. The Fixxers is more than just a hip hop group; it’s also the name of Quik and AMG’s Production Company. Quik is one of the industries best-kept production secrets. He has ghost written, produced, mastered and remixed hundreds of songs and many times he was not given the recognition he deserved. According to him all that is about to end.
“I plan to use this opportunity to get my respect. I’ve ghostwritten and engineered well over 200 songs that have gone on to sell over 50 million units worldwide. That’s a big feat, and I deserve more respect than I get,” says Quik. “I’ve done some really serious avant-garde shit that’s been copied by multiple producers, but I’m not bitter about it. I hear it, and I think that’s dope because my point was received by the people it made sense to….that small legion of us called geniuses,” he adds. When asked about his partner Quik has nothing but respect for AMG, “We’re a lot alike. We’re brothers, and I don’t think the world has any idea how talented AMG is. But they’re about to find out. It’s gonna be hard to beat us now, because we’re at the top of our game,” predicts the veteran rapper.
The Fixxers have been in business since the later part of 2006, and they have already built an impressive roster of artists that include Rick Ross, Yung Joc, Tiera Marie, The Game, Jim Jones, Boyz N Da Hood, new artist Jay Rock , and more.
The first single “Can You Werk Wit Dat?” is in heavy rotation on the west coast now.

I dunno know man. Quik is my favorite artist of all time, but it seem like they're riding the souths dick.
-
but remember Real good production can always mask average skills that an artist may have.. so in other words.. Quik being the producer that he is.. always comes with some Crazy productive type stuff.. and anyone that Raps over his beats.. comes strong i mean even Chingy.. sounded dope on "Get Down".. so just wait and see..
i'd also like to know how you know this.
ross is wack, as is joc, as is marie, game is cool, jones wouldn't fit in at all, boys n da hood is cool (also don't think they'd fit in though).
-
Damn I really ain't liking those guestspots. They fuckin with the south cuz they hot now but I think it would do him more good if he stayed true to Compton and just gave some beats to some southern cats. Plus he should fuck with some better southern dudes(UGK, etc)
-

i gotta agree... i really dont like most southern artists' delivery... never liked TI, but he sounded real dope over quiks beat on Trauma... so there may be hope for a good album
with that said, based on the first single, Quik's flow has got me shaking my head because he isnt staying true to his sound... to me, thats wack and borderline sell out
peace
-
Teirra Marie? I seriously hope that's untrue.
-
Yeah U.G.K. is dope as fuck.. my favorite group from da south.. but yeah.. right now.. theyre doin what's hott.. just like AMG said.. theyre doin whatever is hott.. cause obviously the west realy isnt sellin right now.. other than Game and snoop.. but what game does is rap over Westcoast/new york type beat's.. but ya know.. just like AMG said.. Gangster Rap was hott back in da day.. and th8ats why they chose that style.. to make some cash.. and thats exactly what theyre doin.. right now doin what's hott.. but again.. they havent forgotten where theyre from.. ya know.. so be prepared to see a bit more from da west.. but from what i remember this isnt the only time Quik has changed to other styles other than Westcoast.. if yall remember.. for awhile Quiks music Had that NewYork style.. durring tha time when NY was a bit hott.. withTalib Kweli.. put it in da air" a bit westcoast flavor.. but than there was.. "7:30" new york style right there.. also durring the time when he was workin with Shawn Anthony.. listen to some of the beats.. notice a differance.. but It still sounded good.. and even on Trauma.. song's like Catch 22 had that NY style aswell.. but ya never know.. some of yall may think this album dosent look all that good.. but ya never know.. the best is yet to come from Quik.. U will hear some very Creative Beats.. From the Fixxers..

^ I see what you're saying, but he always did say a New York style with his touch on it. That "Can You Werk Wit That" track sounds like they're straight biting the souths style, ya feel me. I think that's more an AMG move than anything.
-
True.. fa real that is true.. but remember.. Quik and Amg are a Production Team now.. so meaning they're like da Neptunes.. and play & Skillz.. cool and dre.. and so on.. ya know.. theyre a production team now! so i guess thats where the idea came from to make "Can you werk wit dat".. On AMG's part.. but im happy to see them winning.. right now.. it's like one of those stories where ur goin for the under dogg.. but in da end dude comes up on top.. ya know.. and i've been a big Quik And Amg Fan for a long time.. from da times when he was one of the top ones.. when he dropped Quik is the name.. to.. when he fell under the radar.. after mausberg and topp dogg passed.. but it's good to see them get that recognition they deserve.. ya know.

like somebody said if your gonna be fucking with artists from the south, work with good artists. 2 the person who mentioned T.I., I disagree, he's amazing, but yes he did sound NUTS on that Quik beat. But that's also because he has 1 of the best flow's period. Fuck with T.I., UGK, 8Ball & MJG, Boys N Da Hood, Chamillionaire, Chingy, David Banner, Devin The Dude, Outkast etc.
And to the person who mentioned Chingy: I think if he puts his mind 2 it, he could really spit. That verse he had on Mack 10's "Ride Out" track off the hustler's handbook album was :o

WOOOORD.
He's my favorite artist too but now he's a sell-out.

zzzz

I understand that Quik had trouble paying his rent and feeding his kids after commercially flopped Trauma and now he trying to reach the mainstream audience. Lets take a closer look at this rumored quest list.
-Rick Ross, Joc and Jimmy are not really mainstream artist because they do only 100Ks and they are just BET super stars. Quik must at least sell a million and get some time on MTV (no MTV2 or MTVU or other bullshit channels) to become mainstream artist, 100Ks aren't helping him.
-I have never heard about T.Marie so I leave the bitch alone. Probably not mainstream because I have not heard about her ( I watch TRL some times).
-The Game is mainstream enough to be approved to appear on Quik's mainstream take over album, but they must hurry because Game's mainstream halo is becoming tarnished.
-BNDH, what the fuck and why? They definitely NOT mainstream. They are just nobodies who just barely touched gold two years ago. I have not heard about them since, so I think Diddy sent them back to ghetto to sell crack.
-Jay Rock became known to me in yesterday, when he dropped his opinion about Daz & Dollar relationsship on youtube, like he is a really big factor in rap game. I appreciate Quik's ear to new talents but It's quite risky to take him on the up coming mainstream album, so I vote for dropping his ass off this one.
Rumored list did not look good enough for a mainstream album. I wonder that why he isn't getting real mainstream artist like Jay-Z (Quik did a beat for him on Jay's Black Album, remember? It's a payback time now, bitch.), Mariah Carey, Eminem, Fiddy, Justin Tinkerbell, Pussy Catdildos, Timbo and other bitches who are hot right now. They would boost his sales since Quik's music isn't appreciated enough, which is a god damn shame.

Joc & Ross had nice year's in 2006. Both of them went gold, and Joc flirted with platinum. Considering 3 rappers went plat. in 06, gold has to become very acceptable. If you are going to make a list of the top successful rappers in 06, Joc is going to be in top 5, and Ross is probably in the top 10. T. Marie had an album on roc-a-fella or whatever. At least BNDH can actually spit when compared to the likes of Joc, Ross, etc.

Sure, but how skilled rapper you are, doesn't really matter nowadays. You can be a horrible rapper and still manage to sell lots of records, only beats matter now. Good example of that is Rick Ross and his Port Of Miami.

I know that skills don't really matter anymore. But my point from the beginning was if you are going to be fucking with the south (it seems like quik will be) then at least fuck with southern artists can at least have some talent like BNDH
