[@CodyCole80]

@@SJ-tx5go 🥴 “DJ” Quik came out when I was about 10, so going by his name, I thought he was just a “dee-jay” who put out an album. 😂 I’m from The Dirty South, so we didn’t pay much attention to the West Coast outside of Dre, Snoop, and Pac. We have our own legends, like OutKast and UGK. The day I wrote this post, a Quik song had popped on my feed. That caused me to start digging into his discography. It took me 30 years to find out this man is a MUSICIAN, not just a dee-jay or rapper. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ #shameonme 😂

Dont care what anyone says, Quik is one of the GOATs, not only of west coast hip hop but hip hop in general. Its crazy how much he's overlooked by the general public, the guy could rap, produce, and even play instruments, one of the most versatile rappers ever. This album is still one of my favorite of all time and this song is one of the reasons.

[@alexisgonzalez6539]

Quik is the best rapper producer ever

Quick is a great producer and he's a real musician. Plays bass guitar guitar and drums.

Quik didnt play the instruments.. It's actually Rob Bacon on bass & guitar, warryn campbell on piano. And g-1 on drums.

The only rapper i'm listing to for some time now. Dj Quik is the realest artist in the game. He's so prolific, talented and versatile. He can go to g funk, to jazz melodies like here to talk box to straight rap. U nevertheless get annoyed when u listen to a Dj Quik's track. I'm getting to know his huge work more. I'm starting to listen to the trauma album, the midnight life album which are different than the others. Of course, I am crazy about 2nd II None and the late Mausberg. Anyway if u don't know Dj Quik it's time to give him a chance !✌🏽️👍🏽😀😀🎼🎼🎼

[@jimmyknox2254]

sho u right. Thanks for giving The Compton Prince The Upper most!

[@EricOutler]

My One Complaint: It isn't long enough. This needs to grove for at least 10 minutes or more.

[@Heatedboy211]

I won my first talent show off this track in 8th grade back in 96' this a true classic and will always be one of my favorite tracks till im outta here. #QuiksDaName #Safe&Sound 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🏁

[@LivinTheLife714]

Most complete rap artist period!!! I mean….the sounds, the instruments, the smoothness of this melody. This man is seriously the GOAT. Greatest producer period! Just a straight up musical genius. I’m in awe. I literally almost wanna cry to this beautiful melodic masterpiece. 🙏🙏🙏👑👑👑

[@EricOutler]

Not long enough! Cmon quik!! Would love a full band to jam this for about 10 minutes plus.

[@IRON5]

I've been beating that drum for years. I would love to have a entire smooth jazz Quik Groove album

[@djmacjamz]

If I ever hear this track in a elevator, I’m never getting off

[@SirAuron777]

I’m going to the 12th floor and back lol

[@jkirby6576]

everybody's entitled to their opinion but whoever the 4 cats that thumbed down this needs their heads examined, or their ears cleaned, DJ Quik is one of the most underrated and unappreciated producers in the game, 2nd to Dr. Dre as far as west coast producers and that track there is so damn smooth, I can imagine Boney James rocking off of this if it was longer!!

[@TheRuby13red]

Jerry magnificent Kirby probably 4 that think this is not "Gangster" enough for Quik! Lol

[@k-baye6292]

I don't think Quik is second to Dre. I think he's on par if not better.

[@jkirby6576]

@@k-baye6292 Imo Dre has an ear that can't be matched. Even other producers on occasion mimic his style until I looked on credits for the 2001 album I thought The message was him and it's Lord Finesse but it sounds just like Dre produced it.

Quik in a interview said this is his favorite song he has done.

No it's tonite, he always says that

[@alexanderjentes]

This could have come off an Earl Klugh or George Besnon album from the 70s! ‘Quik’s Groove III’ is one of those remarkable tracks that sticks with you and touches a heart chord. It doesn’t just speak loads about Quik’s musical genius or prowess, but it reflects his positive, laid back persona and showcases his abilities not just as a rapper or producer, but as a brother with a real discerning ear and truly sophisticated (and eclectic!) choice of music! Says a lot! A legend in my books. Love and respect!

[@9thhokage341]

You can hear and feel the growth in the Craftsmanship. And I’m not talking about the genre tweaking. It’s the timing and placement of each instrument. from one producer to another, I am really impressed. Quik’s 3 shows the mastery of the craft, but I still like the instruments that were used in quick groves 2 a little better. Weeks three is the more complete and more well rounded of the three.. Only downside is, the song sounds like eight count loops and no solo rifting. I give it a strong 7/10 👍🏽💯

[@scotthenderson9622]

Sounds like old school KBLX so smooth all i need is a huge fish tank some wine 🍷 and a beautiful woman to go with this soothing sound
