It has been mentioned before, but last friday a formal confirmation was stamped to the statement made by another member that Dj Quik has decided to retire from the "artist-side" of the music industry. In front of a crowd of several hundred in Yuma Arizona, Dj Quik announced that he had reached his official "final location" of his tour and that he would no longer "be doing this shit anymore." "I'm tired of not being respected, underrated- and all that shit!" At that point, Damizza and Shade Sheist (who both performed earlier) walked out on stage and handed Quik two bottles of Cristal champagne and said "if this is forreal, then we can't let you go out just like that." Quik took a long pause before popping the bottle and passing it to Damizza, who sprayed it over the entire crowd. Quik asked his dj to play "John Doe" (Sheist's new single.) Quik, now hyped-up started screaming to the crowd "it's time for the new niggas to have this shit! i'm not gonna disappear, i'ma still produce, but fuck being an artist, i'ma leave that to shade sheist right here- he's gonna hold me down.. and where is Hi-C and Suga Free?" Hi-C and Suga Free stumble back onstage and they performed a very fiery version of the John Doe record. Sheist blazed the venue with his verses, very uncharacteristic of his laid-back style. They then went into freestyle versions of "Oochie Coochie" (Hi-C and Sheist) and "If You Stay Ready Remix" (Suga Free, Hi-C, and Sheist.) Quik removed himself from his Gucci t-shirt and leaped on top of a big speaker, almost knocking a huge stage light into the crowd and stood there to take one last look at what he has decided to leave behind him. The show was a sight to see, I wish more people could've been there to see this monumental occurrence. There were a lot of other things that happened, but I'm trying to remember them all and write them at the same time- so I'm sure I missed a few details. I'll update this post if I can think of anything else. One.

as long as quik is still producing im ok as long as he dont leave the game completely....but its sad that it has come to this........quik is my second best producer IMO right behind Dr. Dre......i hope big things happen for him cause there is no doubt that he deserves it for everything he has done.
-
tight info ..but iz John Doe the next single.because I heard it was Wake Up
-
Dam! I missed that show. :'(Can sombody send me some footage...
-
My nigga Quik is my all time favorite everything. I'm glad he's still producin' but damn...nobody rides a Quik beat like Quik. At Least he gone keep on keepin' on with his producin' shit though.
Good Luck Quik...It's time for you to really blow up my nigga.

I'd like to see the footage for that show too, it's an historic moment in hip-hop, sad though :(
-
Thank you for the info...
-
Sounds dope, I wish Quik the best and hope he does get recognized and appreciated soon.
-
Wake Up is Shade Sheist's official 2nd single, however "John Doe" is considered the current street single, and there is vinyl available. Most stations that are playing Wake Up are also playing John Doe.
Dj Quik maintains that he will continue to produce, so don't worry about him going away anytime soon.
-
It's interesting that he passed the torch onto Shade Sheist. I hope that means more Quik production on the next Sheist album. John Doe was one of the best, if not the best song on that album. Sheist sounds good over Quik.

Quick was a G-Master
But shade sheist can become a G-Master
Shade Sheist Feat Nate Dogg & Kurupt - Where I Wanna Be
was a great song
-
I'ma miss Quik big time. I wish I was at his last concert.
-
Thanks for the info... it's too bad though... Quik's a legend...
-
Lets be honest he was never guna be well known because most people in Europe and the Uk would not even know who he was. I have seen Snoop Vids, Dre vids, 2Pac vids, Shade Sheist Vids, and many others rappers vids on tv here in Uk but I have never once seen a vid of Quiks.
I have heard and seen the vid to Sweet Black Pussy on my deathrow vid, but thats about it, aint heard anything else of his shit.
Dont wanna be underrated then get better promotion.

People like you mess it up for everyone else. Shade is one of the few established artists that posts here, and he's put in a lot of work for the West Coast. But haters like you are going to make it your goal to make sure Daz, Shade, and nobody else ever posts here. Like the idiot who called Daz a crackhead. I haven't seen Daz post since then.

Daz has been on tour with Snoop for a long time, that's probably why he hasn't posted.
-
how the fuck is he hating? That word is soooo fucking HATING!! lol. it's true. you pass the tourch to a Mausberg (R.I.P)calibur type rapper.
Just cause he post here does not mean members shouldn't and can't post their opinoins. That is just dumb as hell to say.
So, since many of the artist DON'T post here then and only then can you say they are making gay songs with boy bands?
And, maybe, just maybe, an artist that has or does post here hasn't cuz he or she is busy!
neway. quik passing the tourch to Shade is like Obama giving the presidency back to Bush. WTF!! Sorry, I didn't even like his "where I wanna be song"...havnt heard any other tracks by him. Thinking bout peeping the Quik produced track y'all made mention of in the first post.
I don't mean any disrepect either. It's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. shrugs.

There's a lot it takes to piss daz off. The shit written to him in his cd release threads is the most disrespectful shit I've read on here. Slip, Easki, Shade, and others post on here and a few others. I'm just wondering about that torch ... ???
