He looks professional.

"Whatever. only care about the music"
-
nah, thats a supafly pimp look
-
"Whatever. only care about the music"
and what an album!
-
LMAO @ the "i like it though" after nah just feminine...ahhh man....and it got 2 votes hahaha....
-
gayer than David Tanner Guinn in San Francisco
-
"Whatever. only care about the music"
and what an album!
right on !!!! shit the cover was dope too. that nigga was on some playa shit and snoop does the same thing no one knocks him.
-
I think the funniest part of it all is that this was after Safe + Sound. Put both album covers together and you'll see what I'm talking about haha.
-
how does he look gay ? because he has a perm ? thats the playa shit homie . or is it the shirt ? thats that grown man shit .
but i kinda see how u might think that though .

he tried to rock the playa outfit, but it didnt work for him.
unbuttoned shirt, that look on his face, the silky hair blowin in teh breeze.. it was gay
-
this just that pimped out look...Quik just updated it a little bit with the open silk shirt...but thats standard pimp shit...the butterwhip perm with fly fingernails...dipped and flipped. never once thought this looked gay..Quik has always given me a Max Julien vibe

its funny how people always call Quik gay for this look but never say anything about Snoop Dogg, Katt Williams or Suga Free...must be the baby face, no facial hair...
-
na, he tried to rock it playa, but he failed, n looked gay instead

man, i usually love your posts but i gotta vehemently disagree with this one. quik is straight up fly on that cover. period.

I can't help but wonder if all these rappers who insist on their heterosexuality, being players and being pimps so much, yet donning this sort of look aren't in a sense. Honestly, Suga Free and Katt Williams in particular look as if they're overcompensating...and over-over-over-overcompensating in Suga Free's case. If they're truly heterosexuals, they're camp straight at the very least.
This is something pervasive about hip hop culture in general, actually. Despite being a generally homophobic genre with an emphasis on manliness, there's a disproportionate interest in clothes, jewelry, looks and brotherly love that's...rather suspect. It certainly is a hypocritic atmosphere. One could begin to wonder where hiphop's misogyny comes from. Face it, in terms of generally promoted values hiphop is a caveman's genre.
Not that I'm saying that these guys or others are definately gay, even though they might be, but I'm saying that hiphop is 'gayer' than its artists and fans are willing to admit and has some unresolved issues with homosexuality.

Haha Mike where is this new hate for DJ Quik coming from? Second thread now! Read the first half in the other thread, you got some points.. but still, i know you gotta ear for good musicians.. Quik & Terrace are IMO the only ones who makes REAL music, with structure and real instruments and variation..
-
I like i t...
-
dj quik don't loo no where close 2 gay.he just fly.if he looked gay he wouldn't have so many bitchies jocking him.only abum with no style or a hater a say he look gay
-
I thought he looked a little gay in the "Nobody" video with Sugafree, but at the same time he had all kinds of chicks on his steeze haha. One of my personal all time favorites
http://yazmar.com/wp-content/uploads/dj-quik-nobody8.jpg
-
Nah. He could have buttoned up his shirt though, not because it looks gay but because it looks foolish. The cover doesn't really have any kind of sexual vibe imo. That would make it gay.
But his music on the other hand... Dude singing in a squeaky mouse voice about "never eating that coochie". ;D
-
do you guys realize this cover was intended to look like 80s soul album cover? Most of these guys looked gay on the covers in the 80s. So yes... Quik looks gay on this one too.

hes just going for that prince vibe but he cant pull it off, and yes he looks gay as fuck
-
I remember watching Hand In Hand video, and seeing El DeBarge, i thought he he looked gay as fuck, then i saw Quik's album cover and was like Oke..... LOL

it is a hypocritic atmosphere indeed, thats why u got guys like DJ Quik lookin feminine & androgyne on their album-covers, n instead tries to label it as swag or playa. some of the rappers endorse homosexuality without even knowin it (look at rapper Lil B wit his recent escapades)
*edit* i do know where Quik got his shit from tho, he tried to rock it wit class & emulate his pimpflick/blaxploitation-heroes a bit, but he failed n looked gay instead
anyway,
ur pobly readin into this a bit,, so whatever

Wowzers smh
I was gonna say y'all tripping. Sayin quik gay...
But that video just fucked me up...
Living in L. A. You see allot of gay...
And quik fit the discription in that vid...
Damn...
-
i wouldn't be surprised if he was bisexual. artistic circles are strewn with homosexuals, i mean more than in society in general. quik fits the "artist" description more than most in the rap game. so if he comes out saying "i have bisexual/homosexual tendencies" i wouldn't be thrown for a loop and be like "wow that was unexpected". plus Quik is mad emotional, that may be something very backwards to say but being emotional is usually a female trait.
i'm sure there are a lot of closet homosexuals in rap, just like in sports in general. the comradery, the quasi exclusive masculine presence, etc.

rofl, real talk

People worried bout possible homosexual shit going on in the music industry....and by logic saying rappers are overcompensating...
Why does it matter so much to you? Ask yourself why are YOU overcompensating. :D
-
it doesn't worry me in the least, i mean if they were gay i wouldn't like any less their music. it's interesting though, because in society there are publicly known homosexuals everywhere but in sports and rap music pretty much, and in politics to a lesser extent (a lot of ppl tend to hide it but some major politicians are known gays too). and it makes sense cause these fields are overwhelmingly masculine and competitive, so not only does being gay weaken their expected virility but it also puts off most of their collaborators. and even though rap & sports tend to be rather homophobic to say the least, you find the most sexually ambivalent behaviors :

Even in mainstream music you get artists who are forced to hide their sexuality/relationship status by the label, to avoid losing interest/sales from a target audience. Sisqo did for years for example. You could say he was feminine, but girls adored him.
Quiks demeanour is a projection of his inner confidence and intelligence. Yes he's gifted, yes he's different from the pack...is he special as talent goes? Yes. Dude believes in himself and acts how he wants to, because he's different from most other people in this industry, he doesn't conform.
