OK, this new DJ Quik album is fucking phenomenal

Cop it, thats all I could say. The music speaks for itself. Straight funk. Best rap album I heard in a long ass time. Production is heated, definatly building on that Westcoast sound with hella innovation. Im diggin the horns he's utilizing on this album too. And Quik is at the top of his game lyric-wise and he even sings and sounds pretty good. Get that shit for real. I mean, dude better get a grammy or something for this. Amazing.

Funny DJ Quick Interview speakin on Suga Free:

Westcoast2k: What are the chances you will hook up with Suga Free again?

DJ Quik: Slim to none. Fuck Suga Free. Suga Free is a nobody. Suga Free is a drug addict. Fuck Suga Free.


Westcoast2k: You know, one thing I was wondering, on the "Trauma" mixtape you said about yourself that you looked like you hated women cause you were hangin with people like Suge Free. Was that true to a certain extend?

DJ Quik: If you hang around 9 angry people, Jay, you will be the 10th. If you hang around 9 stressed out people, you will be the 10th. You just association breathe a simulation. You end up becoming like the people that you surround yourself with. And I surrounded myself with some stupid negative people that I didn't know, because they put on a front in front of me because I'm DJ Quik. And then behind my back they go an do all these crazy things, these fucking illegal things. And it just got sickening, all the shit was coming back to me. And I caught him, I busted him doing some dumb shit. So I feel like I wasted my time. That's 2 or 3 years of my life, whatever time I spent doing his record. I could have been doing something productive with an artist that can sell fucking way more records than him. He can't even break fuckin 200.000 copies. He's a regional artist, he's stuck here on the West Coast and don't nobody give a fuck about him nowhere else, cause he fucking sucks. He's a talented guy, don't get me wrong. But his business is so fucked up and his mentality is so fucked up, and them drugs got him so twisted, that I can't do shit with him. Fuck him. If anything, Mausberg was a better rapper than him, and Mausberg is dead. Did they ever find Mausberg's killer? No.

On this new record I went through a whole lot of stuff. I put it to you like this, when I left Suga Free and them and I didn't wanna fuck with them anymore, they got so mad at me that they started blasting me and slandering my name, trying to ruin my credibility in the streets. And then they were threatening my kids, they were threatening to kill my children. So I'm threatening to fuck 'em all up. But I can't find them, cause they all ran, they all bitches. And that's that street shit, it's like unnecessary. That's that shit that starts beef and then somebody ends up dead and then nobody knows what happened. Well, if anything happens to me, I'm letting y'all know that I hate them niggas. And I know you ain't supposed to hate nobody, but I hate them for what they tried to do to me. Cause I loved them niggas from my hearth, and I tried to help, and they didn't do nothing but rob me and steal from me and lie on me. So how could you trust that fucking crackhead, how could you trust a fucking drug addict? I have no respect for none of them.




"That was originally Dr. Dre's beat, I did that beat for Dre. And he [Suga Free] stole the shit and went and sold it for fucking $2500 or some shit like that. And he lied and said he produced it. See that's scandalous. Thats the kind of shit that makes you wanna cut a motherfuckers hands off. That's just scandalous." — DJ Quik




Westcoast2k: When you say people stole from you, are you talking about the beat you did that Suga Free sold to 4-Tay? ["If It Wasn't For You"]

DJ Quik: Yeah, that was originally Dr. Dre's beat, I did that beat for Dre. And he [Suga Free] stole the shit and went and sold it for fucking $2500 or some shit like that. And he lied and said he produced it. See that's scandalous. Thats the kind of shit that makes you wanna cut a motherfuckers hands off. That's just scandalous. You know, I let it all go, but when I think about it....Jay, that shit right there, you wanna talk about me being mad. Wouldn't that shit make you mad? Honestly. Could you just have that shit done to you and be like 'Oh it's nothing, it's ok'? And that's why I was angry about that shit. But now, I don't have a reason to be angry. I mean, my life is plush, it's pleasant, my house is beautiful, my apartment is beautiful, my other crib is beautiful, my cars are beautiful, I'm not stressin', I ain't drinking myself to death, I'm not crashing, I ain't even riding motorcycles anymore! Because I have to find a place to hide all this fucking money that "Trauma" is about to make.

Despite it bein' short, I thought the album was pretty tight too. Nobody else was really feelin' me on it though. DJ Quik usually has a unique style with his production and that's why I always look forward to hearin' new shit from him.

Nah man, Im a die hard Quik fan, but he kind of lost me the last couple albums out. This album is so good though, I cant believe that people cant feel this one. I mean every track is dope. And lyrically, he cant be touched on this one. The album does got that Quik funk, but there are some tracks that got that Dre type of feel to it with the deep strings type of thing going on, but whattyagonnado, everybody is influenced by Dre. This one has to ressurect the westcoast.

Yeah I thought it was kinda short too, but then I was thinking that all 13 songs are bumpable, straight through, no fastforward. Most albums these days that got 17 tracks you gotta skip through about 8 of them anyway. I think he pick his best bangers and made a solid album from the begining to the end.

Quik is a real wierd dude... My homie Big Saccs has been working with Quik since '97 and he's always seemed very introverted. He made a point of burning just about every bridge he had this past year.

But I think long-time Quik fans will agree that with each new album he releases, he says the same thing in every interview. Essentially that the label was to blame for not promoting his last album, that he succumed to label pressure making the last album and hence it wasn't his real vision, that his new album will be his best ever, and that he will sell millions on his new album because promotion will be tight. I stopped paying any attention to his interviews and I've been a fan since '92.

Anyways, I think this new album is CRAP. He's gone down hill with every album since Balance and Options. He might have gotten someone better to write his lyrics, but now he's resorted to making bottom-of-the-barrel, dime-a-dozen beats that really have no musical soul to them. I can appreciate that he's trying something new, but obviously he needs less yes-men around him.

As for Suga Free, I think Quik was bullshitting a fair amount in that interview. The real issue is that Free and Hi-C and them weren't making Quik any money. They didn't have any production budgets and Quik didn't get anything but royalties off their albums. So Quik stopped working with them all. However, it doesn't look like Quik is going to be making any big moves to work with the high-paying clients, just being a DJ for Game........
