Hi-C interview

[Chief]

"Hi-Life Hustle" was pure garbage and Crawf hasn't really impressed me on a solo tip since he dropped "Skanless" with Tony A..Would be interested in hearing the material that wasn't released though....Any artist that came out from the umbrella of Dj Quik with maybe the exception of Suga Free, needs to swallow thier pride and have Quik if not producing, at least have him included for the overseeing & direction of their future projects...

pure garbage? wtf? LOL

and hi-c definetly doesnt need quik beats to make a hit record, although i wont lie, a collabo with quik would be nice!!

[Diggfinger]

Hi-Life Hustla was a fun record with a heavy stain of "old-school" hip-hop in it. Even though I rarely digg through it top to bottom, it is certaintly a dope ass record.

Good to hear Crawf aint left the music bizzz!!

lol @ evry1 catching feelings over what I said  ... 

You guys probably haven't even listened to "Hi-Life Hustle" since it dropped...Of course you'll come in here and say I've been "bumping" it all year  ....What I said was true...the album was a big dissapointment to me with maybe less then a handful of traccs...Easily a forgettable album...Quik isn't god of producing, but he hits more then he misses... He put out that garbage "Under Tha Influence" & produced "Classic 220"(which I didn't like either, but I'm sure someone did  ) and he had some production on "Hi-Life Hustle"....."Just Add Water" was garbage too, and obviously it was missing something, cuz it was all over the place

I'm sure some lines were crossed between Quik & Hi-C/Suga Free, just as lines were probably crossed between Snoop & Dre at the time of the Death Row split, but even Snoop understands that Dre brings out the best in him...Even if Dre isn't producing for Snoop, I'm sure he would love for Dre to mix down and give direction and opinons on the material he is releasing, if he had time  ...I'm not saying he should wait for Quik, I'm sure Crawf could produce a hit or 2 himself...It's just like how some people say Daz's production isn't as good as it was when he was fucc'n with Dre on Death Row...Crawf is cool on the few guest apperances he does, but on solo tip I'm not really checc'n for him..Stop getting all butt hurt over nothing

man i still play hi life hustle at parties when i go out, only track that wasn't that special was ecstacy. whenever i play the cd it gets attention and people feel it, so i dont know what you talkin about.

even my girl who doesnt like hip hop likes a few joints off the album.

classic 220 was a dope ass CD too.

[DJSpin]

Just found this interview... anyone know if there were ever any "unreleased" tracks or Hi'C's website ever take off???

[The King]

"Just Add Water" was garbage too, and obviously it was missing something, cuz it was all over the place

You just say that because your not a Suga Free fan, your a DJ Quik fan. Just Add Water was the worst of his 3 albums, but still top 5 west coast albums released in 06. Just Add Water went in a few different directions, but thats a good thing. We don't want 3 albums that all sound the same. It's good when an artist trys new sounds, new producers. The album was too long, too many skits, maybe 3 or 4 fillers, but songs like "Suga Kain", "Person 2 Person", "You Ain't Knowin" and "Boyfriend" are classic suga free tracks (along with some others).

Any REAL suga free fan loves this album, it's all you Quik fans who hate it. And IMHO this album had outstanding production from Freeze and Blaqthoven. Also the best tracks from the New Testement were produced by Big Saccs.

"You Ain't Knowin"

still bump that track

suga free & knoc make a good team

all those guys NEED Quik....tha best songs on their albums are always tha Quik ones...Suga Free's last album was hot, tha 2nd one not so much....AMG's last one was weak, AMG NEEDS Quik....he has no chance on his own...I think Hi-C has a chance of doin it on his own tho..

well it's pretty clear AMG is rollng with quik agian...

Not really, the best song on the New Testement was "High Heels" which Saccs did. "Get Loose" was also one of the better tracks, and was also produced by Saccs.

Suga Free is Quiks only protege who recovered. I'm feeling all the new J-Steez tracks a lot more then Quiks more recent stuff. Josef Leimberg, Saccs, Steez and Freeze can give Suga Free just as good beats as Quik can. The Fixxers is a horrible idea and a bad direction for Quiks career. AMG sucks.

[Dopeisjay]

Well musicaly Quik isnt like before.. but it's not that he dosent got it in him.. it's just theyre doin what's hott.. and whats hott got them signed to Interscope.. so i dont think getting signed to Interscope Would be leading in a bad direction..
