DJ Quik is legend. Underrated for sure!

[@Gusstra]

Bruce Bruce you know I also produce music...my main influence at the beginning was all that west coast shit. Now Im more about dance music.

[@Gusstra]

Bruce Bruce yeah, and not only him. Also Dr. Dre and Eminem. My main influences. Great guys, great guys..

[@BoiNation_NC]

+The Dream Merchant I think of that too

Love Quik, great interview! He had one of the best if not the best line in a diss record that I've ever heard. "Tell me why you act so scary, givin' your set a bad name with you misspelled name E-I-H-T, now should I continue? Yeah, you left out the "G" 'Cause the "G" ain't in you!"

One of the most slept on producers in the game. A real West Coast Legend. He got some classics.

[@LaCheleWallace]

I'm a huge DJ Quik fan. I used to jack my dad's Quik is the Name tape all the time. His Unsung was really good last night. When I listen to his music, I'm fully focused on those beats first. He has a way with those beats and it's undeniable. They just make me think of my childhood. I always juggle between his first 4 albums, but I think I'm feelin' Safe + Sound the most right now. And the way he started out Jus Lyke Compton.....man please! One of his best. I can go on and on about him. I love him. Good interview. These are the artists I want on Unsung next: Tevin Campbell, Mya, H-Town, Kelly Price, Mic Geronimo, Aaron Hall, Brian McKnight, Tony Terry and a few others.

[@mexia23]

I got to check his Unsung episode. he is very underrated as a producer.

His unsung was inspiring 🙌🏾

[@rubyadkins7951]

Truly was I have seen it twice already! It really touched me who knew he went through so much? I'm glad he is at a great place in his life and that his music is still effecting people. I hope continues to keeping doing this thing as an musician an engineer and producer. He's awesome!

[@swishersweeter7]

where can i watch this ?

[@rubyadkins7951]

On tv one it comes on back to back or on you tube

[@joshuadurham1257]

Yes it inspiration for me too.

[@babyindabeamer08]

Love Quik so much. Loved the unsung episode & have more respect for who he is as a person & what hes been thru. I hope he gets that big deal & never has to worry about money again. Hope i can finally see quik perform live at the HOB in LA too. It would be my dream. Much happiness to you 🙏🏼

[@mustafahajj]

I remember when Q' dropped in 90' I honestly thought dude was related to the late Eazy E. He sound like him. No body can do the high pitch sound like Eazy except Q'. Not to mention Q' came hard and came as himself. Legend!

[@annetteparker-haynes4510]

"Yo, a day in the life of a player named Quik" my dude!!!

[@edskins420]

I got into Hip Hop much later than my friends and people my age. But when I did, my musical life changed once i heard Safe n Sound in '95, Quik's Groove in particular. A flawless jazz instrumental on a Hip Hop album? Are you fucking kidding me?? Quik, thank you for opening my eyes, for putting the music first, for being a true profession artist.

[@kinamai1965]

Eddie Loco Well said. Your statement was awesome!

[@StatPlayer2301]

DJ Quik is super underrated but he's one of my biggest hip hop inspirations in production.

[@melvinchavers4116]

The best producer to come out the west...........NO COMPARISON.

[@sdjklsdjksdjklf]

No, Dr Dre

[@melvinchavers4116]

Your opinion

[@sdjklsdjksdjklf]

+Melvin Chavers No that's reality. Even Quik would tell you that lol

[@th3azscorpio]

lol though he's likely just saying that so he can continue getting that lil stimulus package (beats music catalog). Though Personally I think quik is the better musician, and more technically knowledgeable, dre's produced that shit that knocks, many hits and has launched the careers of top of the line artist.

[@sdjklsdjksdjklf]

***** Quik can play some instruments. Dre did some keyboard work here and there though.

[@jreel]

One of the true West Coast OGs. Was out there doing it before N.W.A became known.

[@SleepFan771]

Mass respect to BigBoy for the best interviews and for always caring and being hilarious. DJ Quik is arguably the most consistent and underrated producer ever in hip hop along with DJ Premier. Quik is so underrated. Go buy his albums!

[@vinnessac6679]

Love him no matter what.

[@jonathanlippe]

So far, every interview i've seen by BigBoyTV has been captivating, interesting and relevant. What I appreciate is the balance between what the fans want, what the person being interview wants, and the Business of The Business, but still fun and light, yet deep and revealing and most importantly is the genuine feel the Interviewer has for the person being interviewed and extracting excellent information from the guests. The situation is verbally set up to picture the moment, and they're intimate, yet respectful. I appreciate these. These are jewels for the lifelong fans of some of these guests since the 80s and 90s. I also appreciate the extreme High Definition Cameras, Crystal Clear Quality Microphones, and overall 21st Century Level Total Video Production aspect of these. Even that cowbell has a place. Top notch props to the production team that makes these shows look and sound so clean. Professionalism. .... and yeah man, I had Born and Raised in Compton, Way 2 Fonky, Safe n Sound, Penthouse Playaz Clique, Hi-C, AMG, Skanless posse cuts, all that.

Just watched Quiks unsung. What an incredible documentary! I wish they could have added more. I feel there was more left out i was really wanted to see more but overrall I wasn't dissapointed. I couldn't have imagined all the crap and things he has been thru personally and musicially. But I'm proud of him. He is a true legend and pioneer of west coast music and hip hop. The GREATEST to ever do it. An artist, an musician, an engineer, an arranger, an mixer, an producer....etc! Bout time people start to recognize this man!!! I wish the best and hope there is much much more to come for him. This documentary is awesome the best one I have ever seen. God Bless you Quik always and forever inspired. You and your music alone!!!

Dj quik will forever stay in my heart and soul because of that music, he is an innovator, soulster, funkster to the core, his cow bells and synthesizer just give you a feel like you somewhere over here or over there, this is definitely a bomb interview with the right dude interviewing him.

Sick interview BigBoyTV. Interviewing Legends bringing back memories. You need to interview Devante Swing brother.

[@kinamai1965]

I love when he talks about the suga free story lol Why you bullshitin! And although big boy got on my damn nerves interrupting him I'm glad he asked him about how the music is made because nobody really can't keep up with him engineering, arranging, producing, mixing, etc. His music gives me chills especially the quik grooves. Overall awesome interview!

I always appreciated Big Boi for providing the voice over to my growing up hip hop in LA. He's really engaging and has a way of opening people up that other dj's and journalists can't.
