Should of been a bit clearer. Basically, I think he is over rated on this forum.

Thats my least favorite Quik album.
But I like Quiks earlier stuff.

I think Quik is mad underrated.
But I guess u cant expect anything else from a Manchester Utd. fan.
-
not feelin the second half of the album but first half is bangin and balance & options got some bangers but thats the sound i like from quik but yeah I think he is overrated -in general

YES U FUCKING BUM ASS NIGGA
"SAFE + SOUND" = top 10 produced CD ever
-
Whenever I listen to one of his beats, I feel they are missing something.

Balance and Options is Bangin.
I also love Quiks voice on that album. Has a nice laid back voice on most of the tracks.
-
i respect u for bein a DJ Primo fan...that means u got some good ears
but yet you dont feel anything from Safe n sound????????
that whole Cd to me is quality....his best for sho
-
IMO it depends on what era and when you came up
not everyone is gon be feelin the album but to others it could be or is deemed a classic and vice versa
you ask some on here they'd die to have quik bring back that style and some wouldnt

I haven't checked all his albums yet. Of the productions I have heard from him, I can't see the love for him.
Gimme some Dre, Fredwreck, Daz, Khalil or Warren G productions from the West anyday.

We need to put u in one of those

-
nope no way. quik's music is layered and mixed so perfectly its ridicolous imo. it has a very smooth musical feel.
-
Matty puts it exactly
Quik is an amazing producer and master-er
-
YES U FUCKING BUM ASS NIGGA
"SAFE + SOUND" = top 10 produced CD ever
Top 5 my nigga
-
haha
but nah IMO quik is like primo wit his work
primo is like god and so is quik to many but others will say primo's work is the same shit

rhythmalism = best production on a rap album ever imo. i give it up for 2001 as well but rhythamalism is my absolute favourite.
quik proves with this latest release that he hasn't lost a step.
-
quik IMO experiments wit different shit but uses his signature sound thats why im not much of a fan of his earlier stuff vs balance & options n unda tha influence
but he got fans for both era's
-
I think Quick totally has his own style, This is a west coast thing, much like suger free, both dont get to much props outside of the west coast. Check out Dj quicks trouble dope beat dope flow or the track ft Dr. dre put it on me.
-
aite two great examples and two of my favorites from quik
but his earlier style is different from them two traxx IMO
but trouble is bangin and put it on me is dope

quik's production has a certain kind of movement to it, you can listen to a track from his first ever album and then stuff from this quik kurupt album and know it was the same producer. and safe and sound onwards, his signature sound is blatantly obvious.
-
I don't know what to say...I dont understand how you can love Premo so much but not get DJ Quik. I....Yeah, wow.

IMO quik can be more "different" than primo but theyre both dope

That makes sense doesn't it?

I dont want to hear a Manchester United fan talkin about sense, OK ?
(I hope Overseer aint a ManU fan)
-
He's one of my favourites but I have only ever loved half of his albums....the new Blaqkout sounds wack tho
Most of Balance and Options is sick production wise. Rythmalism has some major bangers as do his other albums but theres always a few that are just horrid...can't hate on experimenting but when he does what he does he's sick...I like the piano and guitar combos with live percussion he does but i haven't heard that in a while now.

Which Beats ?
Should of been a bit clearer. Basically, I think he is over rated on this forum.
Agreed, really never been a fan of him or Warren G. However, they are pretty cool - just overrated.

How is Quik overrated tho ? U mean over here or in the Music industry ?
-
I have no complaints. Experimenting or just doing that classic Quik sound it is all dope to me.
-
Dude Safe and Sound & Rhythmalism are some of the best production in rap. How many Rappers can say they can produce, rap and DJ. His beats are musical, hardly rely on any samples (in the 97-2002 era) the dude is a genius. Yeah he's kinda lost it i was dissapointed with blaqkout but safe and sound is a rap classic.

Bangerz!

Maybe you should get better speakers. I don't know.
-
?
i think quik beats are better than his raps.. i like his beats on this blaqkout album. i gotta say tho quik does come with some heat musical wise
-
I think that Quik is just very versatile. He's going to drop stuff you like and stuff you don't like. His style is just very experimental.
Dude is a legend though, he's dropped classics.
-
^^Got to be that experimental side that I not digging so much
?
No U aren't.
I don't like majority of his production, but he made some dope nice beats.
I would say he's overrated too.

i mean Quik makes some good stuff from time to time ( most recent: Fuck Y'all), but i've never been a fan of him either.
i thought the hype around blaqkout was funny :laugh:

Quik>>>>>Dre x10
If anyone is insanely overrated it is Dr. Dre. DJ Quik is one of the best music artists of all time.

no, Rihanna's music does that
-
Quik is not overrated imo.quik is a musical genius.he tries things other producers wont,so people want to say he fell off or what ever.Guess some people love that repetitive ass sound Dre gives them
-
i think quiks cool but i could name 5 hip hop producers id rather hear over him in an instant.
-

100% agree, +1

What the fuck you talking about? How is this the wrong forum?
-
it really depends on your musical preference, but i'd say mixing wise 'the appeal' is easily a step above what any other producers are doing these days.
quik + g-one = crack 8)

Sometimes his music is overactive and busy-sounding. Undisciplined. I feel he's better in the concept department than in execution. Dre on the other hand doesn't really come up with any dope musical concepts anymore, at least not for the past, what, 9 years? But he's the master of execution. I think Quick makes westcoast music for westcoast people whereas Dre makes it for the entire world, if that makes sense. Quik is the definition of local. He's really at his best when he's giving his beats to other artists to work off of, because when he is in charge of his own stuff from concept through to final mastering, I feel that's when he lets his creativity get the best of him and the end-product turns out to be a bit messy. I mean the beats on BlaQKout are nice, but they start to give you a headache after a while, because they're over mastered and crafted. Whereas Relapse, and Dre in general, doesn't push the envelope as much, but is much more accessible and enjoyable in the long run because Dre is much more disciplined as an artist not to get carried away with his $hit. It's a fine line, but Dre has really honed his craft despite the fact that he's run out of music ideas (hence the reason Detox keeps getting delayed indefinitely...he has no more musical ideas).

good post
-
yeah good post. a similar idea can be expressed by a quik quote where he says dre makes pop music whereas his stuff is more underground...
-
you are not alone. i dont either.
-
i like alot of quiks shit but yes he is overrated by certain europeans on here. and also i cant stand his voice and flow, shit pisses me off sometimes i have to turn it off
-
Like every great producer, Quik has his signature sound, a very distinct style...I kinda see why he might be criticized for not switching his style up more often, but to each their own I guess. His classic sound is well defined and it sounds great, but my favorite DJ Quik beats are the ones that kinda move away from his signature style. The Trauma album in my opinion was damn near perfect, he had a crazy blend of his old style with new sounds, new ideas. I can't remember the last time I heard an album sound so fresh.
That joint he did on Jay's "Black Album" is another example. He brought a different type of funk to that track, it had a bounce to it that is different from his usual material.
-
I felt like Quik's best work was from "Quik Is The Name" to Safe + Sound". Not to say that everything after that sucked but I didn't get into that pimp style, groovy type beats he got into.
-
yeah good post. a similar idea can be expressed by a quik quote where he says dre makes pop music whereas his stuff is more underground...
lol! both make accessible music: blaqkout is a great example of that
-
Quik's the best wc producer imo + he is hiiiighly underrated. he makes wack south beats tho
