DJ Quik - Jus Lyke Compton

[@daauthor6004]

I remember buying DJ Quik's first album in 1991. I was 13. Now i see that he's still going on tours. God Bless his heart.

[@antoniow1825]

I was 14 when this came out I grew up In an upper middle class neighborhood . Very very much suburbs. Eitherway I loved this I still do and it brings me right back , my IOU jeans , guess , and the best time of my life as an adolescent. This mans talent reached into everything everywhere everyone

[@oldschoolhiphop2275]

I remember when I saw this video on box videos. I was absolutely blown away by Quiks return once again another classic. If u grew up in the 90's you knew Quik took his time & he never put out garbage. When he dropped his album it was basically flawless. Production off the charts. Quik is one of the greatest of times no question.

[@hennessyapplejuice8331]

Thank You, he was a big deal in hip hop in the 90's but once Dre and Snoop crossed over with their albums and were goin over triple platinum and other artist followed in the late 90's and early 2000's it makes Quik look irrelevant when you go back and look at his albums.His albums were still goin gold which was a big deal back then but once rappers started goin platinum consistently they just brushed off artist goin gold.If Quik had New Yorks support he probably would've been respected more but they didn't like him.Most of his love came from the midwest and south besides the west coast.When his 3rd album dropped he didn't really even go on tour and it still went gold off his name alone that's how popular he was just in the black community.If he would've sold out and tried to be on tv every minute like Snoop was no doubt white people in the suburbs would've bought a majority of his records too

[@jamesduckery]

@@hennessyapplejuice8331 He was big back in those days. He stopped touring after this song and all of the fights he would get in because he was Piru. He only toured the west and never strayed away from it, that's why he never became super big. But in Cali, dude is a legend!

[@hennessyapplejuice8331]

@@jamesduckery Yea that's what i was basically trying to say.A few things set his career back but him stopping touring outside the west was a big part of it.I live in Ohio and remember when his first album dropped and it was huge.I had older cousins who were mid teens go to his concert and skipped school to see him when he arrived at our sports arena earlier that day.Some people was hip to doing that when artist came to town they would go catch them early on when they're checking equipment and all that sound stage stuff.Anyway they met him and said he was cool and they asked him was he a blood and they said he laughed and said what y'all know bout bloods and crips.He also told them he wasn't tryna sound like a after school special but make sure they finish school bcuz it was super important.He knew they obviously were suppose to be in school then but maybe didn't know if they skipped just to meet him or that was a regular thing to skip out.But yea Quik goin around the country he couldn't take his hood with him like he could more on the west where they all jump in cars and follow him so he was more comfortable

[@steviealvaalbany2730]

Hahaha omg the box ??? Yup This is how far I go back bro I used to get one of those old-school recorders that they would use in music class the ones I just had one speaker to play record the wine fast forward button and I would put it up to the TV to record my favorite videos and this was one of them

[@Siclone23]

They don't know about the box I be tryna tell people... I was in Brightmo in the 90s watching this.

[@paranoyd29906]

Underrated song....he basically explained how the gang culture spread throughout the country.

[@pamwilliams9458]

Exactly He told us the truth☺

[@americangangsterlock1550]

Gang culture was always around in America, dating back to the rise immigration on the east coast. Cities like NYC, Philly, Chicago, Newark, Boston and other's have been known to be ganglands that helped shape and build those places. Mafia in the 20s-50s was a real era. You had KKK patrolling the South since the slaves got there. They went strong throughout the 40s-70s. Black gangs are more new and this guy is rapping about how it's nothing new under the sun.

If you check out the song deeply, it's actually saying that it's not a good thing that those other cities "are just like Compton". The whole time, he talks about wanting to go to a place in which it's cool and people are not gang banging, only to find out, it's the same thing from back home.
