what are u talkin bout bruh
dj quik, from a talent standpoint, is 1b to dre’s 1a
goat level west coast producer
no need to hate on what he said.. it’s facts

Production wise. Yes absolutely, if not even better than Dre. But Quik is a horrible businessman and that’s hurt him throughout his career. How many labels has he been with since he started? Quik says he needs the machine behind him like Dre does. The difference is, Dre went out and built his own machine. Quik keep hoping someone will give him a machine and then not take it away when his bipolar ass starts acting crazy.
Be the best ‘Quik’ you can be and stop wanting to be Dre. Seems like Quik’s had a hard on for Dre ever since they did Put It On Me and Contagious.
He had a great roster of talent, including Suga Free, HiC, 2nd II None, Playa Hamm, Tweed Cadillac, etc. and instead of promoting and producing for them and building a record label around them, he’s spent the past years trying to get over people like Amir, Gift Reynolds, Shawn Anthony, David Blake Jr. And he’s failed miserably with all of them.
-
Quik was a victim of going against the Dr Dre machine during the west coast heyday. Crazy to think he wasn’t even a part of the Up In Smoke tour but he was in and out of beefing with Dre. But agreed production, mixing mastering he is elite. And lyrically he has always been nice
-
once again.
i think he deserves as i wrote first.
when i say, or u guys thats ok. thast an oppinion, or a fact for fans.
but when the artist says, thast cocky to me.
but this is just me.
sam thing when Ye says he is genius or anybody else at any art form.
i aint like that kind of attitude.

All I know is that in 2022 DJ Quik is lost.

Quik was an elite beatmaker in his prime, but he is not on Dre's level as far as music production. Dre really has no competition in hip-hop as far as real music production. From NWA, Snoop, Dogg Pound, Eminem, 50 Cent, Nate Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Anderson Paak.
He had a hand in half of the top 10 selling rap CD's of all time and 8 of the top 20.
And if you believe like I do that sales aren't the only thing that matters, critically Dre has had a part in at least 8 of the top 50 rated rap albums of all time.
I absolutely love DJ Quik's production/beats and think he is a west coast legend, but he is not on the same level or conversation as Dre.

DJ Quik is better than Dr.Dre ABOVE AND BEYOND? Compton SUCKED-N-FLOPPED, The Contract SUCKED-N-FLOPPED, Aftermath Presents SUCKED-N-FLOPPED.
DRE's Overrated DJ MUGGS, Ea-Ski, Hutch, Paris, Ant Banks are also better than his beat stealing ass...

Quik produced a track on All Eyez on Me how come his was "Heartz of Men" and Dre's was "California Love"??
"California Love" >>> "Heartz of Men"
End of discussion now quit your bitchin' Quik. You are good but not on Dre's level.
Remember when we went to POWER 106 and all he did was get on stage and bitch and cry?? The sound was fine and all he did was bitch at the engineer, treatin um like dog shit and trying to tell them from the stage how to move the knobs and shit, and complain he had big hits and didn't get his credit he deserves.

i guess quik was on point because looking back, i too noticed the sound was faulty

:ohwell:

Quik's a legend but sorry it comes down to hits. Not saying hits make an artist, but when you crossover and everyone thinks your song is a hit (all ages, demographics) you reach a different level of commercial success. You do that over and over and over and over for decades you are Dr. Dre. Personal talent it's close right? But Dre's sonics have no equal. Quik will tell you that, will he not?
-
Quik's my favorite artist but he's been crying since the 90s about his role in the industry.
He used to do the best West Coast beats, but Dr. Dre's legacy is totally different.. he's a real 360° producer, not in terms of beat making but in terms of producing albums, artists, being a business guru, etc.
Dre is a legend, Quik is a great artist but you really gotta be a West Coast Rap head.
-
Oh boy. I remember him crying last time like "i gave drum kit samples to Dre to produce in da club and if i can't so i want my money". This is where quik put himself on his own with his own attitude.
Quik is a motherfucking West Coast Legend. He is one of the architects of West Coast Hi Hop. NO DOUBT!!! But let's see the fact that he is a local artist. Yeah he did "Addictive". He worked with Mariah Carey, Raphael Saadiq, Jay-Z and mmmm Talib Kweli. That's all. he never became popular as an international mainstream artist. How the fuck he can say he deserve to be where Dre is. He is humiliating his lecagy with saying that and disrespecting Dre. He also means that some kind of machine pushed Dre to be what he is now and he claim he didnt have that kind of machin support. MY ASS!!! who buys that really?
I always believe Quik is overlooked both as a producer and rapper. He should cry about only he is overlooked and he deserve to be where Dj Quik should be today but not. I'd agree on that. But Dre??? DRE???? Really??? Oh boy.

Well said.

Yeah..the only way I can see Quik's claim being valid is if he didn't have access to the same resources Dre did. Because it is possible that if you put Quik behind the boards and you put Dre behind the boards and you give both of them a few hours to come up with a song—that Quik's song could be equal to Dr. Dre's.
But it is hard to say that at some point Quik didn't have access to the same resources as Dre. Because as far back as NWA -- Dr. Dre was always making records that were bigger than DJ Quik.
...
Another point—You mentioned Dre being a businessman—Dre is a shitty business man. Anybody who owns 50% of a company and leaves with nothing is a shitty businessman. Now; I know that Suge strongarmed Dre but at some point either coming in or leaving Dre fucced up. There's no way you can own 50% of the greatest label in history and leave with nothing and call yourself a great businessman.
Dre just has Jimmy and Jimmy has always handled Dre's business and gotten Dre out of a lot of trouble and probably a lot of bad deals throughout his career.
So Quik has a bit of a point that Dre always had Jimmy and Quik never had support like that on that end.
Now... if by being a good businessman you mean eye for talent—of course. Dre has the best ear in the industry.

Hell yeah but we shouldnt forget dre came from underground too, Quik couldnt get himself out of it.

Production wise. Yes absolutely
^dis. I just feel like if you put the two in a room with their own tools by their selves, Quik would come out on top.

Quik has been there since whatnot but NWA was bigger, then Chronic & Quik wasn't even signed to DRR to my knowledge..lack off promotion, uncredited work,etc.

Damn, can't believe you beat me to it. But don't forget his first album with Stan "the guitar man" Jones. Quik relies heavily on musicians. That is why his production sounds so good.

quik has always looked up to dre

It reminds me what Scoop DeVille said a few years back...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ketbib1py8
In regards to Scoop, a few of his biggest records were mixed by Dre.
I love DJ Quik and he truly is one of the best to ever do it in Hip-Hop. However, I don't like when people say that they deserve to have what somebody else has or be where somebody else is. There are so many factors that determine one's success. Talent is only one component. Sometimes people have things you don't because they are willing to do things that you aren't willing to do.
When Quik says that he deserves to be where Dre is...does that mean the money, the fame, the accolades, recognition, adoration?
Quik has had a more than respectable career and has worked with some of the biggest names to ever do it in the industry. He just hasn't had the huge crossover hits. He's had 5 top-40 records so far. That's impressive.

A hit is not always indicative of a good song, but it is indicative of your reach and popularity. Watch an NBA game, any team across the country, you're more than likely going to hear at least 1 Dre song during the game and probably quite a few more. Even if they are 20 or 30 years old, they're still getting regularly played. You don't have to go out of your way to hear or listen to something that Dre was involved with. You don't have to go searching for his music. It will find you. It's easy to know who Quik is on the West Coast, but maybe not as much in other parts of the country. You either have to already know about him or somebody is going to have to school you on him. You're likely not just going to stumble onto his music.
The people that Dre helped put into the game became some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry, not just music. Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent. Those are household names whether you listen to Hip-Hop or not and their success gets tied to him just by association.
There's a reason why he's rubbed shoulders with the likes of Quincy Jones or Burt Bacharach. There's a reason why he's in the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame and a movie about his life was able to make $200M+. Then there's the headphones.
Production goes beyond the beat. How many times have we heard that Dre has made an artist redo 1 line an insane amount of times? He had Gwen Stefani crying in the studio. I don't remember if it was Xzibit or Game, said they felt they just wrote their best verse and he'd walk by and give them a thumbs down and keep walking. It pissed them off, but made them step up their game. Everybody wants to get Dre's attention, even Quik. How many people have made accusations about Dre that are downright disrespectful if true, but in the same breath will turn around and give him all the credit for teaching them what they know or bringing the best out of them. He may frustrate them, but they appreciate his influence on their career.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qtNN7kMSbk
I'm not trying to put Quik down. I know he is amazing. I would love to see him get more shine and the respect and appreciation that I believe he deserves as both an artist and a producer. I think he was content with where he was back in the day, but realizes that it could have been bigger. There's an interview where he is called a legend by the host, but he doesn't like that term. He is clearly thinking about his legacy in recent years. He knows that he's dope, but he wants others to know that as well. He comes out and says that he should be where Dre is. People are like wtf? Let me go check this dude out. I'm not mad at him. I hope that it causes people to look into his work and that it brings him more fans.

Quik si dope, but not a close to Dre.
Quik best mixed albums are 2pacs, and Trauma and under the influence. Those albums aint even close of mixing levels of chronic or 2001, or MMLP, or GRODT. I thinks, the "worst" mixed dr dre albus was doggystyle. Quik mixing is on that level. If quik takes time with the music shit would be different for him. On every album hes got 4 bangers rest of fillers.

Mixing is arranged the right sound level to each part/instrument & balance it right?

Nah. There's marketing, promotion, industry relationships, payola etc. Were Murda Inc, Rocafella and Ruff Ryders just so much better than everyone else on the East Coast or was their success in large part due to Def Jam's power in the industry? Alot of people clown Swizz Beats for his production to this day. Yet, him being blood related to one of the Ruff Ryders founders put him in the 'super producer' conversation. I feel talent wise Quik is up there with Dre. I think we all do. Even if you want to say they both use other musicians that point still stands. Quik was never the industry darling that Dre was/is tho. So the industry angle of "hits", sales, chart position etc. (which are all controlled music industry systems that can be and are manipulated) shouldn't be the measuring stick.
I just thought of a dope concept in the process of writing this post concerning a collab between the two of them. Who wants to buy it? I'll have my people draw up a NDA and i'll send it to you. You can cut the chizneck if you decide to use it. :think:
-
Quik has all the talent in the world, dope ass ability and ear for production but his style is kind of regional/underground but like a high quality version of it (if that makes sense). When he does try to step out of that box, it sounds very experimental (like Jay-Z's Justify My Thug or a lot of the Blaqkout album) like there's no in between. I also believe either he's hard to work with or the people around him weren't handling his business properly because I'm sure when Quik had his run, it had to be damn near every rapper in the game wanted some Quik production (especially on the westcoast). I find it hard to believe that out of all the heat he was coming with, all he could land is a few album cuts here and there on cats like Kurupt, Xzibit, and people like that but no big smash singles really. His closest was Let's Get Down (which was a hit here in LA but not sure how big it was outside of that) Suga Free first album (same thing) Truth Hurts Addictive (mixed by Dre and everything but didn't clear the sample and that fucked it all off). It seems like every rapper that wanted a Dre beats and couldn't get it or afford it Quik should've been all over it, no way he shouldn't have blown up more. He was around Death Row and all we got was 1 Pac album cut, mixed half the album, some unreleased shit on Jewel and Danny Boy, some soundtrack cuts and that's it. And that was on the biggest label at the time. Then he was around Afermath and all we got was a couple of Truth Hurt songs, a song off Xzibit, and a unreleased King T cut. I don't know if dude had bad luck or it's self inflicted, but he definitely should be bigger than what he is, not Dre's spot but definitely bigger than he is now. Even now, it's artist that would sound perfect over Quik's production, Ty Dolla $ign and Jay Rock come to mind off the top of my head, even Mount Westmore, something's fishy
-
^Quik was one of the artist going against the East Coast back in the day when the East Coast was talking slick about out Compton, not playing West Coast rap and flat out dissing artist who weren't from the East. He also had ties to DR. Crooked I, Spider Loc and others have talked about how being affiliated with DR has hindered their careers. The gang affiliation I'm sure was an issue as well. Didn't his name come up in the El Ray Theater incident? Factor in the Biggie killing where his name came up and you have a perfect storm of people in the industry not wanting to deal with him. No matter how talented he is. It's pretty obvious that the industry doesn't give a f about Eazy and have damn near written him out of history. Quik being tied to him, I assume from their standpoint, was a factor as well. If he's hard to work with or has issues would play a role to. I can't say he wasn't taking care of his business but I don't think he had a team to propel him to the next level. We had this discussion before. It takes alot to get to that level, not just talent. Even if you don't have the talent but that sort of team you can still get to that level. Dre had Introscope and was more diplomatic in regards to the industry.
-
Maybe Quik should actually release some music. I know Dre has a reputation of not releasing anything but i think even he’s released more stuff than Quik has in the last few years. Quik’s become very insecure and unsure of himself the last few years. Scared to put anything out there for fear it might tarnish his perceived legacy.
-

yeah but people in the hip hop community overrestimate the mixing because of Dre..
beat making, producing,arrangment are far more important than mixing.. and mixing is usually part of producing.
-
when you start crying about "i deserve to be there, this or that" thats the first point of you dont deserve anything. i love quik but he makes 0 sense. Level of Dre ? after snoop, eminem, 50 cent, kendrick ? these 4 names are enough.

Yall don't think that certain people in the industry may have held Quik back just so Dre could shine more? Like maybe saw him as a threat/competitor to Dre? Just an idea.
I just want to know what yall think about if Dre and Quik both had the same tools, who's music would be better? Even if you want to throw in the same session players. Same instruments, same beat machines, mixed by the same person etc. I'm not even saying what you would necessarily like better, Just literally from a technical stand point.

Dre wins, hands down. Sonically, all of his music sounds sounds crisp and polished. Quik hasn't done an album with that kind of 'premium' feel consistently.

Yeah. When him and Dre are friendly (or in the process of getting sued for sample clearance) he credits Dre with doing the majority of that song. When he’s mad at Dre, Quik takes all the credit and says Dre stole from him. Typical bipolar Quik. Flip flops every few years.

Which for one is a top beat may be nails on chalkboard for other. Ones have mainstream exposure others not. Its not about "hits". Justin Timberlake has hits, does it mean his music is better than xyz (underground" rapper?
To each their own
I mean could you post your favorite 15 beats by them. I don't care about "hits".

I like pretty much all these
Darryl Harper and Hurt-Em-Badd did great work with Pac
all the Death Row producers put in work...Mark Sparks was one of my favorites as well
With the same tools Dre had could they compete tho? I feel those I mentioned could.

Quik as a musician > Dre
Quik as a producer < Dre
Maybe you're right.
