the key to DJ Quik is one word - CONSTISTENCY

a lot of you people say that Dr Dre is better than DJ Quik, but you have to admit that Dre has made a lot of wack beats over the years. DJ Quik has 3 times as many albums as Dre does and he still makes incredible beats

Think about it, & don't hate, appreciate

i wouldnt say he's the best but he's up there with the top imo

Even though it is all a matter of opinion, I still agree with you.

for real....and Dre has come out with some WAAAACK ASS beats.  he's still a production giant but damn, Dre has been in the game less and less.  there are very few beats that I don't feel from quik.  less than few.  fewer than few. lol.  almost none.  DJ QUIK = THE BEST

I agree but I think he's better for other reasons as well.

Musically, anyone who knows what real, layered, complex, and challenging music is, will say DJ Quik is levels ahead of Dr. Dre. My dad is a jazz producer, and many of his friends are OGs in Jazz, and ALL of them say DJ Quik is much more talented as far as real music goes. Some of the beats that are Quik's most musical beats, aren't the ones that appeal to many people who like rap, just because they don't realize how challenging and creative some of it is. Some of the songs that Jazz musicians love most from Quik are:
2nd II None - If we ain't fuggin, Back up off the wall, Why, Don't do dat, Party
Suga Free - On my way, Tip Toe
Quik - No Doubt, You'z a gangsta, Thinkin bout you, Rhythmalism intro, We Still party, Whatever you do, ALL of the Quiks grooves but especially #6, Roger's Groove, Well

lol @ whoever said dj quik is more complex than dre.......like someone said before me it's all a matter of taste when you say a song is whack or what not, but if you examine each and every one of their beats Dre comes out on top when it comes to quality. although i put quik as number 2 his "complexity" is not that high. even when he's playing the flute he's playing  basic notes and scales. for example anyone who learned to play Flutaphone in school, alot of the stuff he's doing is just a fancier "hot crossed buns" . OR he threw in a clever sample from a one hit wonder funk artist, and the average fan just rolls with the punches and thinks quik composed that line.

it's like comparing two MC's like Jay and Ra

 there's a lot  of people who think jay-z is better than rakim, it's a matter of taste. but again if you examine their lyrics it's exactly what i said above. jay is a good mc and all, but  alot of his lines are borrowed , ect.


aslo the whole "quik has put out 3 times more albums and has stayed more consistant" is kina ridiculous  quik WOULDN"T have that sound if it wasn't for Efil4zaggin or 100 miles and runnin'. you'd be hearing quik sound like Muggs and way 2 fonky would be way 2 grimey. also if you put down SONG FOR SONG that have produced by Dre/Quik, Dre has more material and more classic material


also Quik himself has humbled himself to Dre so Like who you like (i love quik's music personally) but you gotta seperate personal preference from quality

so...i guess we are doing this thread once a month now

at least..


and the Quik 'fans' won't stop doin these threads until every single poster agrees with them cuz many can't accept other oppinions

please tell me if u see a Dre fan doing this kind of thread.. cuz I can't remember that

you don't see quincy jones fans...

Hey! Quincy Jonez iz douBle OG!
