Title: Who sings the hook on Quik's "Nobody"?
Post by: MOBNigga06 on June 07, 2011, 10:15:23 PM: In the video, there seems to be a dude with a big gay tattoo on his neck who sings the hook to Nobody. Who is this? I don't think he's credited in the booklet for the Book of David, because writing credits are given only to D. Blake (Quik), D. Rice (Free), and D. Foreman (Quik's guitarist). So unless D. Foreman is the dude with the tattoo on his neck...what's the deal?

Rappers need to crediting the people who sing on their hooks, not just when the hook singer is famous. WC didn't credit the hook singer for "You Know Me," which is dumb as hell, since that hook is so dope.

Post by: Gamestarr on June 08, 2011, 04:39:30 AM: Yeah its so lame when they dont credit hook singers cause they are no-names.

But there could be any reason for that. label fuckery and shit like that.

Anybody have an answer for it?

Post by: Matty on June 08, 2011, 11:17:56 AM: quik said it was him singing the hook in an interview before the BOD dropped, i believe when they played the quik verse version for the first time.

Post by: makaveliapostle on June 10, 2011, 09:32:11 AM: i def thought it was suga free the whole time. then i read where quik said he was doing a falsetto on the song. i still kinda think it might be both of them...
