1995 Death Row Records Performs at Source Awards

[@mrshadrich]

Quik delivered one of the most historic performances in hip hop. No subliminal messages, straight to your face

DJ Quik steals the show

[@TheOutsider-jp3tw]

DJ Quik in my opinion was one of the best lyricist in Hip Hop back in the day. His lyrics were smooth and correct. They always flowed. He always seemed to be under the radar by the mainstream. But he was underground anyway. He’s probably my favorite Hip Hop rapper, even over Eazy E in my opinion. E made it mainstream popular. Also it was rare in those days to have a Blood out there actually rapping. Most didn’t mess with him, because they knew he was the real deal. Always mentioned his hood in every song.

[@simmsive71is]

Facts.

[@hectorelfrost240]

Every letter you wrote is and always be on point . Quik might be the best producer in history of hip-hop .

[@ulf1831]

I'm even going one step further and go so far as claiming DJ Quik as the greatest all around artist in Hip-Hop. That's not even a argument to be made, that is just facts. But DJ Quik is seriously on that Prince level of musicianship in the entire world of popular music. And don't you just see the similarities. Both staying true to their Home, Prince Minneapolis and DJ Quik Compton. He mastered the Production part of Hip-Hop with incorporating instruments on that next level. He is EASILY my favourite MC of all time. My life Energy is running high when I have DJ Quik and Prince in heavy rotation.

[@PeekaBooo24]

Guess Dre wasn’t the only one who could produce and control the rap flow. Quik been killin those boards. And we’re not going to talk about one of the best on stage ether dissed of all time!!

[@croplaya]

he was literally the WORST.. never had one good song.. boring af.. and he looks constantly looked like a B---ch with his hoe ass hair

[@portabella3400]

Yall know 8 was sitting right there in the second row!! That's why he stood in one spot the whole time he was on stage. He rapped the whole verse directly to that man. The disrespect was so real😂😂😂. Side note: Quick is one of the best that ever did it!! Big ups to him❤

[@BrownsvilleBaby_Est]

Facts.The Homie Quik been a legend for 30 plus years

[@williamjackson3652]

Quik said in an interview that he really couldn't see where exactly Eiht was seated because the lights were so bright it blinded him so he just tried focus on one general area.

[@lebronshairline4768]

Eiht said he got up and left during or after the performance in an interview

[@nnjvhvhhgc5213]

Eiht said they was outnumbered that day, so they fell back. He said Deathrow was super deep that day.
