Legendary westcoast beatmaster and MC, DJ Quik, has recently announced his retirment. Here's the lowdown courtesy of alex_g of the DPGRecordz forum.

"Yo i was just at the one of the phaatest concerts i have ever been too. it was the dj quik concert at the HOB in HOLLYWOOD (MY BAD)...everything was there, bitches, budd, beats, and even some crissy in my cup courtesy the quiksta himself. neways at the end of the show quik dropped a bomb on the crowd, he announces his retirement, he has one more album droppin in november then thats it. hes tired of people not playing his shit and him being underated, so i guess hes doing backstage shit now ie; produciton etc etc. his last album will be a greatest hits lp droppin in november...i would type more about the concert but i just stopped by the crib real quick, now im headed to a party to get more fucked up...lets c what yall think about this...personally i think its fucked up. dj quik is a westcoast legend. DPG RECORDZ N IM OUT THIS BITCH...

This is a very sad day for not only westcoast hip-hop but hip-hop as a whole. Quik is disgustingly underrated and now it's come to this. Everyone go out and support his latest release Under Tha Influence, lets keep him in the game y'all! "

Rappers need to quit talkin' that retiring sh!t cuz it's not like they working 9-5's for 40 years. Like MC EIHT said: make music cuz you love to and not just for the scrilla. If you are blessed to have a job that you love to do and excel at it, who gives a f#ck about the radio. Ya feel me?

Im with Young Lou. All that talk bout retirin LMAO

If ya wanna stop makin albumz, stop makin em. But in the game, if a cat comez to you with $ talkin bout I want a laced tracc, you can say, "Naw, i dont wanna do that," or you gonna say, "Ish, thatz $."

You can close your lablez or buy out your royaltiez, but you dont retire with a 401K Hahaha

I was at the House of Blues when he said that... I think it was sincere and we really won't be seeing any more Quik solo's other than this Greatest Hits that's coming out.. not like these other rappers that say they retire and come back with 5 more..

He'll probably just produce and stay in the background as was said above...the man has got to be tired of putting in the work he does to still be underrated...

I agree rap music and styles have changed but I'm just curious... did Safe + Sound or Rythmalism even go Platinum??!?

Quik has made more tight albums in his time (6?) than most people could ever dream to make...

I don't know for sure but I don't even think his recent albums come close to gold and THAT's underrated for a player of his stature...
