DJ Quik Shares Opinion On Will Smith, Chris Rock Oscars Slap + Talks Mixing Snoop & Billy Ray Collab

The legend DJ Quik is back in the 935 KDAY building and the West Coast icon chops it up with the Morning Show co-hosts Cece and Romeo about the big 2022 return of Krush Groove and how he's still hungry and looking to work for something new.
As Krush Groove makes its return, following the 2020 pandemic, Quik talks about the importance of his role in helping build the Krush brand as he is a staple artist featured on our stage lineup. For the first time ever, Krush Groove takes it to the Crypto Arena, mostly associated with the late Kobe Bryant, the "Tonite" rapper is ready to take on the city on April 30th.
Speaking on his longevity in the business and his own impact on the culture, Quik admits that he forgets that he is an actual legend and that his status as a legendary rapper, artist, and producer in the game sometimes trumps the way he sees himself because he keeps humble surroundings and has let go a lot of things and people that worked against him.
DJ Quik goes on to speak on working with Snoop Dogg and Billy Ray Cyrus, shares his opinion on the infamous Oscars slap between Will Smith and Chris Rock, and much more.

Quik reflects on his career and improvements he should've made. Some hip hop musicians visit Quik's studio to record a collaboration song. But will it make radio airwaves?

[@alsimmons4504]

7:29 - 8:59....Now as much I love my boy, DJ Quik, I have to STRONGLY disagree with him on the whole Will Smith/Chris Rock situation. There was no "high road" for Chris to take because HE was 100% in the wrong for even making a type of joke like that at the most inappropriate time and Will was well within his rights to get defensive about it as well, sure, he probably could've handled it a bit better, but Will still did his job as a family man at the end of the day regardless of who agrees with it or not. And also, the Oscars can go straight to hell for their attempting to "discipline" or "punish" Will when WILL'S the reason why people tune in to the Oscars in the first place, otherwise, nobody would even care enough to bother with watching such a boring excuse for an "entity" like the Oscars. Even if Quik does know Chris personally, Quik should actually be more open-minded and understanding to the fact that Chris made an inappropriate joke at an inappropriate time and thus got checked for it accordingly. It's got nothing to do with ticket sales for a comedy tour nor Chris being in a "good space", it's got everything to do with the fact that Will did his job and now the majority of Hollywood is coming for him instead of truly appreciating a man standing up for his loved ones so to anyone out there that's on the Chris Rock side of the issue including Quik himself, y'all need to stop letting Chris get away with murder and stop attacking Will for protecting his family like a true man should and is supposed to do. Shame on y'all man! Smgdh 😔.

[@freshchez7250]

🤦‍♂️

[@keldorthebluemack]

Will need to leave that toxic relationship Chris is a comedian who told a lame joke that wasn't required for a slap on live TV and around the world.Will slapping Chris was his frustration from years build up and him slapping everyone who had jokes about him.Jada ain't even sticking by him now saying she didn't tell him to do that.Even if true thats your husband you suppose to have his back no matter what.I really think he wants to leave her but he scared she gon take half but he'll still be rich and have his peace of mind

[@alsimmons4504]

@@keldorthebluemack While you do have a point about Will needing to leave such a toxic and unappreciative relationship with Jada, I'd have to strongly disagree with you about whether or not Chris Rock's slap was necessary. Even if you're a comedian, there's still certain boundaries that you NEVER EVER cross or there will be consequences and when Chris told an inappropriate joke that was just as in bad taste as it was horribly-timed, that warranted a rightfully deserved slap from Will and thus a lesson was learned that day: even comedians are not above reproach. Now as for Jada's traitorous a**, the way she's doing Will is equally as bad if not probably worse than how the majority of people are doing him now and I absolutely agree wholeheartedly that she's supposed to be standing by him no matter what because that's what being husband and wife is supposed to and should be all about: teamwork. Jada couldn't take half even if she wanted to, Will's the far bigger star and is far too solid with his bank account for her to do any true/lasting damage to him for him to actually be scared of and that man will still all the "peace of mind" he wants when she's left out in the cold as she deserves.

Appreciate it Quik💯💯

[@oldschoolhiphop2275]

I first heard Born & Raised in Compton back in 1991 I was in the 7th grade. My first impression was his production was next level. The album only solidified who he was. It wasn't even close Quik's groove ended all discussions on his ability & he was only like 19 he was a legend in his own time. Everything that Quik touched in the 90's was masterfully done. A master engineer his production had a clearity that was unmatched. He was unprecedented as an artist.
