[Tha G In Deee]

Do you think Trauma is as good as you had planned or did you have something different in mind on how tha album was gonna come out?
Which artists do you like working with or producing for tha most?
Will you be appearing on Game's new album or doing any producing for him?
Have you thought of working with Bishop Lamont, Guerilla Black, or any other new & upcoming Westcoast artists?

[Tha_Reverend]

the age old question that nobody seems to ever ask...

Will you *ever* even consider rereleasing your albums in Instrumental format?  if not in stores, how about on the net?

You talked about making a more complicated pure instrumental groove album for the "older people" once before.  any chances of that ever happening still?

You  did some production work recently on Patches Stewart's album "Blow".   How was it to work with highly trained professional Jazz musicians rather than your used to hip hop and pop aritists?  and just how close is your relationship with fellow musician/producer Marcus Miller?  any chance of you working with these guys again in the future?

Will we see more of Dj Quik crossing over into other genres of music?

On your trauma Mixtape at the end of a song you said "LA sit down".  do you have any hard feelings toward your home city at the moment?

We know the situation with you and Suga Free. you had AMG on the new album, but why no Hi-C and 2ndIINone on the album.  

[Tha_Reverend]

And Jay for your info, Patches is a beast on the Trumpet and Marcus Miller was the Producer and writer for that album "Blow".  PHENOMINAL (spelling?) musicians

-Will you ever consider releasing a bootlegs and b-sides type CD, because we all know that there are so many tite unreleased songs that would be awesome to hear.

-What is exactly meant by the title "Trauma?"  Obviously you were going through traumatic times in your life (Mausberg, record label bullshit, etc.) but is this album supposed to be a reflection of that?

-Whats going on with that dude Shawn Anthony, and the whole Mad Science recordings thing?

-Are you planning on producing on anyone's new album soon?

-How was the video shoot for "Black Mercedes?"

-Do you feel that you have to change your image/sound to appeal to a younger audience?  Do you have plans to try to appeal to a younger audience or do you just feel that the music speaks for itself?

-Whens the next album dropping

[Lucien]

What are the chances you will hook up with Suga Free again?

-Wich song on Rhyth-al-ism is Quik's Groove 4?
-What happened to Dionne Knighton and The Chocolate Lovelites?
-Will he ever take his tour to Europe?
-What's his relationship with Suga Free, Hi-C, AMG, El DeBarge, Playa Hamm & 2nd II None?
-Will he drop other records after ''Trauma''?
-What kind of music does he listen to?
-Why is the total running time of ''Trauma'' only 45 minutes short?
-What are his future plans?
-Will he ever use the talkbox again?

[Spolja]

Why dont he make albums every year cause obviously it doesnt take him too long to make the album? (in one interview he said that he made Trauma last year in November-December)
Are those tracks that he recorded with Layzie Bone 3 years ago his or Layzie's? If his, any chance of them being released?
Why didnt he use 50 Ways Original Version on UTI?
For who has he produced lately?
His thoughts on Kanye's Late Registration? (I really wanna hear the answer to this one)
Any chance of seeing more of Quik/Kweli & Quik/T.I. collabos?

[davida.b.]

Will we ever see more work with Pharoahe Monch or Shyheim?

What can we expect in the future, in terms of collabo's?

Is there a reason you never recorded a diss track back to Petey Pablo? You could have gained alot of publicity from that.

What was it like working with Rage Against The Machine? Will we ever see more work with rock artists?

[westside159]

will you ever work with mc eiht in the future

is there a song called "still wannabe lyke compton " that he did with mc eiht addresing the rappers in the industry that steal are style and slang and dont give the westcoast there respect ??

[T-Dub]

What other producers (any genre) influence your production, and why?
After releasing Trauma, what is next for you?
What artist would like to work with that you haven't already?
Do you feel that you get the respect that you deserve? Talent-wise, where would you place yourself amongst other legends in the game?
What is your most memorable experience as an artist?
They say that a lot of artists lose their hunger and drive after they have been making music for awhile, what inspires you to keep going and elevating?
At the end of the day, what do you want people to remember you for?

yo props lil jay on the interview, id appreciate if u asked him a question along these lines......

ask him what his thoughts are on the rap game.......say hiphop heads dont feel the rap game is about the quality of music or about skills no mo....its all about which label u on and promotion......

for example, back in the early 90's if quik released black mercedes out, it'd be played on radio stations everywhere in the states and there wouldnt be hardly any politics behind it regarding which label you on, or how much money u got so your shit gets played, it was all about if the music is good enough, it'l be played.......basically the competition was all about how good the music is to get played, not other factors as big as they are today......how does he feel about this and whats his thughts on the rap game today compared to in the past and if he feels he should be a worldwide known rap star.

peace.....

p.s.......yo jay, i know thats kinda long but u can break that shit down how u do if u want, jus please ask him homie! i always check your site,lol
