lets show love to americas most complete artist. post up ur fav dj quik songs. or, talk bout him on some positivity.
-
My favorite artist, for sure. I've been listening to his discography, and it's amazing how different all of his albums are from one another, yet he still has his signature sound on all of them. I now officially like every song on TBOD, when at first I didn't care for "Ghetto Rendezvous", "Hydromatic" and "Across The Map", but they've all grown on me.
I watched an interview he did yesterday and he said he was about to finish Suga Free's new album so I'm amped for that.
-
yea. thats what im talking bout. he is my fav too. so true. everything he touches is different but signature. folks will come to my house and be like damn thats hard, who is that, dj quik? its so dif yet signature. this man is amazing. and im so sick of having to defend myself as a woman when it comes to quik. its like im always round mfs who wanna act like im groupied out over quik. im like look, i love music. and i feel his music like for real for real since forever, so, kill the bs cuz i dont give a fuck about you you her him that bitch that nigga yall them.lol. the man is amazing. i didnt like all of BOD also, but, i luv every song now. post up that interview ibbles, if u can. im listn to his discography also. i aint even gone lie though, id fuck the shit outta him and im shy so that means id really fuck this man hahaha. not off no groupie shit. just cuz he completes me. lmao. that completes me is a lil quote from this movie called the ringer wit um, johnny knoxville..neway though...on me fam...dj quik is the best artist ever!!!! and he is so funny. chill and humble. what a musician. this is def his calling and im glad he seen and noticeed that and accepted it specially growing up with the bs he was surrounded by. hats off. im bumpin his music as we speak. you know.

quik is my favorite artist. i was fortunate enough to meet him last weekend in new york. i went to his show and then met him afterwards. i got to talk to him for like ten minutes and he was so incredibly nice. it is such a shame that he is so under rated. there was literally less than 75 people at the show i went to. i couldn't believe it
-
thanks ibbles. cool interview. however, i appreciate the fact that he shows luv to dre, but, he, imo, is waaaaaaay better than dre. imo, dre is next to him. but, i dont want this thread to be on anything that will gear it towards some opinionated bs neg shit. so, um, ill just leave that alone. thanks ibbles. so, jones, what did yall talk bout? and wow, less than 75 people? well, thats too bad for those who sleep on him..cuz i know you had a great time and he put on a great show. cant wait to hear his production on the free album. that shit is gonna be bananas. a, yall know i once got a hold of quiks tonite mixed with x clans heed the word song. shit was sick. i think i still got the tape. lol. yes, a tape. im old. haha.

+1. Dope interview.
-
I'm gonna list some songs by Quik that I think are underrated even by Quik fans.
"How Come?" - I hardly ever see people mention this song. I think it's the best one on "Balance & Options"
"Chopin Groove" - Quik was really experimenting on UTI and it was dope. This groove is definitely the most overlooked out of them all.
"Do It" by Hi-C - This song is so simple yet so fresh. The electric piano really shines here, as well as the talkbox.
"Fire & Brimstone" - This shit has always been fire to me. Many people were saying it was offbeat but I can't hear that at all. The drum pattern is just unique.
-
Best overall hip-hop artist of all time....really ridiculous how many people do not know listen to his music or even know who he is
He will get his time though. It will come he will appreciated.
-
i wish hed use the flute and the talkbox a lil more these days...something for the mood is one of the most incredible beats ever put to wax
this. somethin 4 the mood has to be my fav Quik song. and i've always loved the flute on rap songs (lil ghetto boy, let me ride, etc.), it's too bad they don't use it much.
-
Dopest artist/producer ever! He's a genius! :)
-
Dj quik is the most talented rap artist ever.the man make beats,rap,play the piano live on stage while he rap,dj & got the best stage perfoamnce i ever seen a rapper have,honest he the only rapper i could watch live.overall the man is a musical genius like a rap version of prince.
-
well, i was going to post some song links but I dont want to crash the server or anything.
-
it is truly no understatement to call this man a genius. he dj's (as pretty much all of the greatest hiphop producers started out as), raps, writes, produces, plays several instruments, engineers (both tracking and mixing), and is a very entertaining, charismatic individual. dude is articulate as shit and always a pleasure to listen to. even folks who have biases against hiphop music will marvel at his sheer mixing abilities. he's not merely just a good or great mixer, but one that mixes at an audiophile level. and on top of all of this he knows how to make hits. it's just a shame to see how the industry is now, where previous superstars like quik and snoop only move five figure sales now. but that's not important. the level of quality and consistency this man delivers time after time is second II none (pun intended). great idea for a thread. this man really is the quincy jones or the prince of hiphop...not dre, contrary to popular belief. but aside from that comparison, the man is unique unto his own. cheers to all the quik fans and especially to the genius that is david blake!

-
you know what else i love about quik music? the anticipation of waiting for anything quik, even if i may not like the track? yet, it may grow on me...is his music matures and grows right before ur eyes. its like he goes into the studio stictly for his fans yet we r second to what ever he thinks when it comes to his music. cuz, ultimately, even if he had not one fan, this is what he loves to do for himself. so, it is what it is. every time he drops sumn new...respect the game. cuz he drops new and improved evolved music while staying true to the west coast. love it. light years beyond his peers. behind all of em. now everybody want to know the truth about quik.?
-
and my fav quik song at the moment is so compton. what a fucking dope laid back beat...slash....track. then luv of my life. i think im talking to myself. any body listening? yall dont love quik? yall tripn. this thread should be way two fonky fans. give it up. post up.
-
ima take my ass to bed but, every quik solo album showcase his evolution. yall ever notice that? quik is the name. way two fonky. safe n sound. rhythmalism. balance and options. uti....etc.. see how he dont do all that extra shit wit his art work on them covers? ever notice that? just raw quik. how he has changed, where his mind state is during that album etc... neway. one of his top three songs to date, imo, is change the game. and for real for real, he needs to make that last track on that album into a full song.
