Real talk anyone who says Dre is the best at anything is trippin...with how many ghost writers and producers he's had in his career there's nothing about his work I view as credible...he's a mainstream act of yesteryear he was in a position to be made into that guy before lil Wayne or drake came along or anyone else who gets credit for others work in the public eye...and all of that effort combined into the "idea" that became dr Dre still can't touch quik and he knows it...I wouldn't even put Dre above battlecat

lol keep dreaming quik is awesome but his just a one lane bunny who cant evolve his style with the times. Dr Dre is the master & even quik has said no one can fuck with dre.

Changed the thread title. Please don't make misleading titles like that, kinda annoying.

To be 100 with it if kush or I need a doctor is evolving with the times I'm glad quik stayed true to himself....his style might not succumb to today's sound but his style is mostly experimental anyways the lane your referring to doesn't exist he's just not capable of releasing some pop music like Dre is...Dre is barely active and his style is soft he was the Puff daddy of the west...the only reason why Dre can keep up with the times is because he's always had whoevers popular ghost write/produce for him
-

Jelly about who?What best producer?Quincy Jones is back?
are you getting jelly the best producer is back?
Yeah DJ Quik cant fuck with Dre
"The number 23 on the beats, 'bout to do ya
Mister Blake A.K.A. DJ Quik talkin' to ya
And I'll prove I'm proper and yo game is whack with 1 line
I'll never put my name on a track that wasn't mine"........

Theo, i'm asking you this because you seem to be the ultimate Quik fan, do you ever find Nick Cannon So West Coast in CDQ?

Even Quik know he is the greater producer, but, the minute he says that out his mouth, he will be blackballed immediately, guaranteed. The streets know the bizness!!!

Real talk...Dre is a brand not an artist so he might have more power in the industry but that doesn't make him better...quik can say what he wants But his body of work speaks for itself...

^^^^ Real shit!!!!! Dre gon take the time to say Detox wasn't good enough...looool...Just Blaze has produced records, Hi-Tek and many, many others. So he judging their talents and credibility, so the work they put in was hot ass garbage. I've seen Just Blaze start a track on his MPC on youtube, Battlecat too. Why has there never been a video of Dre writing a track from start to finish? I've searched hi and low...found nothing.

nobody cares bout DJ Quik :D

nobody cares bout DJ Quik :D
This dude sets his alarm clock to wake up and hate I swear haha I've asked you before who you like since it seems like you don't like anyone actually discussed on this forum....I'm not going to argue quiks fan base because obviously it exists no matter the size,he's acknowledged his position in the hip hop world he knows he's mad underrated as does anyone in his fanbase...point blank pound for pound endorsements and side hustles aside quiks music smacks on dres...and that goes for any other artist that's been superglued together to create the "dr dre" sound
-
Theo you're trying too hard. If the name of the album is Compton it doesn't have to have every goddamn rapper who said Compton in it's songs since the beggining of the time. Yes Quik makes dope beats and he's representing CPT hard, but do you believe the City or the album with the same name or soundtrack for that movie would be on the same level if he released it instead of Dre? C'mon.
-
Theo, i'm asking you this because you seem to be the ultimate Quik fan, do you ever find Nick Cannon So West Coast in CDQ?
I hit you tomorrow with the track..i think i got it!!nobody cares bout DJ Quik :D
Yeah care about dr dre or his headphones?
Jump in a bandwagon Theo you're trying too hard. If the name of the album is Compton it doesn't have to have every goddamn rapper who said Compton in it's songs since the beggining of the time.

yeahhh it must have texas white racist boy rapping all over the album...this represents compton 100%

There are people out there who dont even know who the legendary NaS is lol and than again we talking about local boy Quik.

Haha that's true theo...eiht and tray dee are WAY less known that quik...I'm 23 I was in high school until 2010 well after all 3 rappers quik,eiht,dee time we're done in the mainstream and no one I knew bumped or even knew of those 2 quik on the other hand was known by a grip of people...I remember kids discussing BOD when it dropped
-
.....oh and eiht got bodied by quik hands down
-
Quik is dope. He don't need to hate on Dre for nothing. I think some of you are trying a little too hard to be angry about this.
-
I know eiht and tray deee are locals. But i dont say they are better than people like dre who has accomplished so much and launched superstars careers. Unlike quik. All u quik fans are emotional bitches just like salty quik.
-
Dre vs. Quik is a silly discussion.
If you measure them in terms of wealth and influence, Dre is obviously superior.
But if you're asking who is the better producer, there is no question: DJ QUIK.
How can anyone objectively listen to their two bodies of work and think Dre is superior? He has a few classic beats, sure, but Quik has an enormous catalogue filled with dope music. It's way more versatile and virtuosic. Quik is a genius, Dre. is just a decent producer who made a few solid tracks.

Haha I'd say opinionated is more like it cuz I can't say a single emotion is driving me to have a personal opinion...I'm just voicing it even tho when I do it usually is followed with an emtional response like Name calling...I'm just saying success doesn't equate to quality...I can almost guarantee your not a fan of Birdman but he's been responsible for many artists and has had success in a multitude of ways...or if you were to compare fetty wap to someone like locksmith,fashwan,mykestro or whoever else in the underground at least from a lyrical standpoint it's one sided till you realize how many phones ring and trap queen plays...don't let the sales and the endorsements bleed over into the debate of who's a better producer...Dre is a better business man and made a lot more money but quik to me has made better music that's an opinion I hold to and one that's worth being considered

Dr dre made icons birdman made shit stains.
-
Theo you're trying too hard.
-
the true is...dre is a legend..yeah he is.
but i feel that dr dre is a cool guy...but he is simply a industry puppet...sadly he put his own career in Jimmy Iovine hands..
Dr Dre began to have this reputation that he uses others producers and take the credits, after Death Row...before it's obvious Dre recorded albums with Yella, D.OC, Daz, Soopafly, Warren, Sam Sneed help...but he was still focused on music.
Today...producers make the beat...and Dr Dre only put his name in this...Dr Dre doesn't have music passion these days...
unless this album shut my mouth.
My point iz..this new Dr Dre album not necessarily had to have DJ Quik in it....but King Mez? Justus? this is joke..

After writing this post, I realized that the Quik vs. Dre debate is kinda like Pac vs. Biggie.
Biggie was a dope rapper who made a few classic tracks, no doubt. But his corpus cannot even remotely compare to Tupac's, which is filled with hundreds of the greatest rap songs ever written.
Dre and Biggie are talented, but Quik and Pac are the real geniuses.
Dre and Biggie each have about 10 classic songs to their name, whereas Quik and Pac each have more than 100.

M.O.B .. Biggie was raw..
Diddy ruined Biggie's carreer with bullshit beats!
Imagine if Biggie was affiliated with DITC.
Biggie rapping all over Finesse, Diamond D, Buckwild (my god Buckwild is a genius) beats..
always remembering, my point of view
biggie the artist = great.
biggie the person = bitch
It's same to Dre..
The artist is cool, the person is a snake
Rhythm-al-ism is the album with the cleanest sound of all time in hip hop...this shit is ill.
shout out to da man!

love the idea of this thread, theo. i've listened to dre's new album and it's really not great....like, at all in my opinion. it's definitely not the future of west coast music. if anyone might be able to claim such a bold title, i believe it would belong to miguel. reminds me of when quik shouted "doctor dre beats, the greatest headphones ever made!" during his recent h.o.b. performance on yahoo. i just take it at face value. there have been oceans of ink spilled about how aurally terrible beats headphones are....and quik is a brilliant engineer. no way he actually thinks the sonics of those things are worth a shit. i like to think quik's glowing endorsements of dre are more about the actual idea of doctor dre, his brand, how much money he's made, and what he means to popular culture at large.
....and if this is what dre fans have been waiting for, i feel disappointed for them. i figured it wasn't going to be worth much of a listen, but was hoping to be proven wrong. i wasn't. :-\

Dre have his spot in music history? Yes, but people paint him a god ( including Quik ) is too much . It's not necessary..
Dre got power in the industry ( Iovine ) and people are afraid to speak the truth.
A couple of years, C-Bo called Dre a vulture, and it's right.
DR DRE DIDN'T DISCOVERED the musicians that people think he found ( Snoop,Nate,DPG,50 Cent,Eminem,Game,Kendrick)
but he got the credit for it...
Everything related to Dre has to be questioned, his protegés, his beats, his lyrics and even the headphones..(you may remember in early 00's ..Warren G launched a brand of headphones...if I'm not mistaken with brand Pioneer..the headphones design contained an G,
of G-Funk..it's very similary with the B design of Beats By Dre headphones..)
My point of view, is:
I love Dr Dre music, but we will never know for sure..what he did for your brand and what he stole for your brand.
Dr Dre is the "LA" Diddy.
-
Yeah I gave Dr Dre's album 'Compton' a couple of listens. It's a solid album but at least with Midnight Life, you still FELT that you were listening to a West Coast album.
I wish Quik would've been on the album to bring some of that P-Fonk!
Also Dre vs Quik is NOTHING like Pac vs B.I.G in my opinion. Two different playing sports (production and MC'ing).

the fuck you yappin bout again... Dre didn´t make Snoop famous? Wigga please, take the hater shades off and the Quik shaped bobblehead out of your ass.
Snoop, DPG, Eminem all have/had their mainstream careers because Dre took them on his records and you know this. They know it.
Dude´s ear for mixing is great, even quik says this. And why does Quik say that? Because he knows a good producer when he sees one. Not because Dre has power in the industry.
He dissed Dre, then after working with him said the man is a genius.
Same goes for Dre´s ear for talent. I don´t like many of these new cats he put on his album but i can see why he put em there.
While you´re still acting like he took my lunch money and fucked your girl . Grow up a little, will ya.
i see you constantly go to Dre´s Compton thread to complain about the amount of co-producers like Quik never used any. Rob Bacon and G1 shoulde get as much credit for Quik´s best material as the man himself.
And this is coming from a Quik fan. The Midnight Life was mostly skippable tracks.
You sound like a mad stalker kinda creep.

if you like fraud..that's your problem
Dr Dre not discovered Snoop,DPG(Warren G),Eminem (Mr Porter) ,50 Cent(Jam Master Jay),The Game (JT ) and etc..
not invented the g-funk (Above The Law)
not invented gangsta rap (Eazy-e)
not the only 1580 OG KDAY MIxmaster ( Spade, Julio G, Tony G.)
and he takes credit for all it
a fuckin liar, a fraud..and a bitch! (not helped Snoop,Eazy-E when they had problems)
I'm with my man C-BO, Dr Dre a gay and fucking vulture.
PS: Do you like to offend people? You offended me without motive
go fuck yourself little boy, watch your mouth! stretch your ass with a bull stick
you a faggot, liar and insolent
I'm slapp you little bitch, fuck outta here
-
To keep it about music The midnight life wasn't mostly skippable 16 tracks,2 intros/interludes so out of those 14 you have 2 tracks that I can see being skippable "shine" which I still skip and "trapped on the tracks" which actually grew on me ,minus the chorus that beat goes super hard especially in a system but I can see why it would be skipped
Pet semetary,life jacket,fuck all night,puffin the dragon,back that shit up,bacons groove,that getter,that niggers krazy,quiks groove,the conduct...I don't see a track that would be deemed anything less that great from a production or mixing standpoint
And live instrumentation in the case of Bacon is different than having a co-producer, G-1 yes but theres far more tracks he's produced alone than with him and its not like quik goes to just whoever to help him he stays true to himself and his art by utilizing the same people...dre is like a paint by the numbers artist he has more co-producers than not and I don't think has EVER written a full song by himself there's a huge reason that argument can be made
I can see where Theos coming from on the discovering talent tip...he did give them the exposure tho
