DJ Quik is the most underrated producer of all time. Dre gets all the recognition. But let’s not forget Quik is one of the first producer/ rappers in the game. He was the first rapper to bang on wax. He has produced so many records some people don’t even know what all he has created. And he’s not just a producer. He’s an engineer he plays instruments. He is really a one man band. The man deserves his Flowers

[@SoSoSouthern-bv1zi]

U got a point.. But ..DAZ!!!!

[@djranbarringer6422]

He's like a Hip hop version of Prince.

[@TheoHuxtible]

U ain’t Neva lie

[@anonymouslakernerd7214]

All true. But… you act like banging on wax (or anywhere) is a good thing. That’s like complaining that so and so doesn’t get credit for being the first rapper to use the word “b!tch” on a record.

[@avon_mack]

Quick is great but Dre is distinguished and stands on his own. Stop the bullshyt 🛑

[@NerdyRed23]

Quik deserves his recognition his beats are timeless that nobody can touch

[@cbrown940]

So under appreciated!

[@Hardlabor1978]

👏👏👏🙏

[@gls8500]

Amen!

[@realfloxks__0637]

None of these songs in the video he produced lmao

[@laurenceholmes9011]

Quik is a national treasure

[@80zBabee]

Quick is legendary. He produced one of my favorite song by 'Pac "Heartz of Men"

[@chitownmytownofficialonean6067]

Would you agree that at 2:56 of the video that's the intro to Hearts Of Men ? Call me crazy but it sounds like it to me maybe Quick used it twice.

[@Hardlabor1978]

Hearts of men is the lick. Hypes me up for a good workout.

[@corylackland8377]

Classic.

[@80zBabee]

​@@Hardlabor1978 mines too. 'Pac's delivery and cadence give me chills everytime

[@80zBabee]

​@@chitownmytownofficialonean6067idk. I think you maybe tweaking😂 naw but I listened to it over and over and I don't hear it

[@hankdietz]

Hes a solid dude too. He came to a bar I worked at with 3 other people. There were only 3 seats, so he gave them to his people and stood behind them. He was nice to everybody working, tipped 20%, and said yes to everyone that asked for a picture.

[@Kenl-dz4te]

So your brother asked for nothing so you gave him nothing. What you saying

[@hankdietz]

@Kenl-dz4te not sure what you mean?

[@seanslawns]

@hankdietz love to hear that, the real ones are few and far between

[@spinflux]

Yeah that makes me like him more fr he has character

[@moh2502]

Why people hating on Quik for showing what he worked on? Even if he didnt contribute as much as you think he did, he was still a part of it. He may come across as seeking validation but lets be real, he deserves it & has been underrated for far too long.

[@Dealerplates420]

Did you just that make up? What hate comments 😂😂😂

[@jamilray2]

DJ Quick catalog is timeless

[@AK.126]

He doesn't get near the recognition as a producer that he deserves.

[@moneefloyd6009]

I agree❤

[@corylackland8377]

​@jay2chill134 That makes sense, no pun intended. That whole album is tough.

[@NerdyRed23]

Totally agree with that, Quik is very legendary forever

[@anthonymoody6711]

In terms of musical talent, DJ Quik is the love child of Prince and Patrice Rushen. Dude is a musical genius with a ridiculous ear. Can play multiple instruments and rock a crowd while producing TIMELESS classics.

[@TheLovely990]

DJ Quick is talented, and a legend.❤❤

[@prof3ssor178]

*Quik

[@stucarr2912]

Dj quick be the tribute artist born and raised in Scranton

[@jasonx409able]

I remember buying his single tonite from music plus in 1990. I paid $1.99 and I was 10 years old that time in 1990. Give this man his credit and roses.

[@mariohunt8986]

Dj Quik is a legend and in my top 5

[@tonjastandley375]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@ChrisJ330]

Better put respect on quik's name! This man is a genius!

[@j-remy9832]

This proves no matter how well known you are, you're still not known enough. This man is an architect & a genius.

[@MikeBoss303]

DJ Quik!!! The Quiksta!!! Is Beyond a Legend. Not just on the West Coast but in Hip Hop period and in music period. He’s a true musician and an underrated MC as well. He’s underrated in both to tell you the truth. And he pioneered the West Coast sound that changed Hip Hop forever that we’re still enjoying today. We love you Quik!!!!!! Keep doing your thang 🔥🔥🔥

[@trajohnadams1772]

Come on Let’s get down by Tony! Toni! Tone! And DJ Quik 🔥🔥

[@seanslawns]

Ambitionz as a rydah is one of the best songs ever…

[@taznga1]

Underrated at times but this man has hits and musical influence! He puts on a great show full of energy! So glad I got to see him while I was in Cali! He's a class act and I ride with him! Give him his flowers.

[@moldypancakes4973]

It was so nice of him to give him grown adults, permission to sing a silly song

[@brandanowens]

@@moldypancakes4973shut up

[@esejavi760]

@@moldypancakes4973 you obviously haven’t heard the song. It’s the word n****a he gave the audience the ok to say 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@soundcheck2k7]

Been a Quik loyalists since early 90s 🔥

[@movideos390]

Hands down one of the greatest producers, right there with Dre and Timbaland. He just didn’t know the business side of it.
