Rza kinda resembles Quik as well but he's just darker

Dj Quick is as real as they come STILL SALUTE. Talib Kweli I Salute you too

Quik's storytelling on "Tonight" and "Just Like Compton" really had you picturing it in your head.

Yo. 'The Blast' is such a fvcking banger.. classic is an understatement. Kweli doesn't need any help, he holds his own all day.. but that HiTek verse brings it home, and Vinia Mojica is the cherry on top. Anything Vinia Mojica touches is official buttery HipHop gold.

The Blast definitely has a West Coast bounce to it! Being from the Bay area we love that track always & forever!

That’s because Hi Teck was a production genius back in the day

Quik got hella classics and in my opinion, especially back in the day, he always gives his best beats to other artist. Suga Free comes to mind.

I always tell everybody that Hi-Tek’s production is a mixture of DJ Quik’s drum and bassline funk style with Pete Rock sampling style.

@@jamalevans1574 Yea listen to his drum swing groove style plus his drums hit hard and they’re clean like Quik. Plus Hi-Tek sound is soul and funk and funk comes from Ohio. If you listen to his beats from Blackstar, Reflection Eternal and other Rawkus albums, his sample chops and the sample he chooses sound similar to Pete Rock. It’s real soulful. Listen to Common, Sadat X and Talib song “1999”. It has a Pete Rock feel but his drums swing like DJ Quik. Quik and Hitek also use the MPC 3000.

That's dope!!!! Hearing someone mouth the beat and move their body to perceive which song they heard: The original shazam to a sales clerk working at the record store. Big ups to Vinia Mojica on that track.

This is what kills me about a lot of fans in certain categories of hiphop. They are fans of a specific category of hiphop, no matter if its lyrical, conscious, hardcore, gangster, dance whatever. But the talented artist they usually like are listening to all those categoeis of hiphop, and of course outside of hiphop, and thats what has helped mold them, despite having their own style. I was watching willie d channel from geto boyz a couple of months ago, and he never brought this up, but he was into to tribe called quest albums growing up, along with some other eastcoast conscious rappers who were not even mainstream. You will usually find this with most successful and talented hiphop artist. I remember also dj quik was loving the Little Brother-minstrel show album. Im happy i never fell into that category of just having one preference in hiphop. I loved it all growing up, and even outside of hiphop.

Props to Quik (One of my favorites) for bumpin’ that midwest funk. Hi-Tek is an amazing producer.

I love these stories. I could listen to them forever.

Can’t wait to see this episode!

DJ Quik is a legend his production is so amazing man it's so hard to even pick my favorite album cuz I like all of them quick Groove I love them all of them quick Groove 4 is my favorite with the raining in the background it sound like it's in the car driving in the rain relaxing music

Man! Y'all got DJ Quik's ears! That alone is SUPER fire!!!! 💪🏾

Quik is one of my favorite rappers and producers ever. Alot of my friends didn’t know about him when I first started bumping his shit back in high school, this was around 2001. (I didn’t live in California obviously)

That's fresh! I love this

"Put It in the Air" (featuring DJ Quik) is my Jam

"Yea, you pronounce my name KWELI" 🌊🕶🌊

The underrated LEGENDS episode.

That’s dope! I felt the same way when I first heard that track too.

the one song that made me buy the album and found out the whole album pleasure to listen to! didn't know what the les Nubians was talking about but their album was an Impulse Buy because of Reflections eternal.

Same song is what opened Snoop and Dre to working with Hi-Tek. That song is undeniable

Been waiting for this one

Kweli's music is incredible!

Reflection eternal was addictive. Amazing joints!!

Dr. Dre And DJ Quick - 'Put It On Me' is to this day one of my favorite collabs 🔥🔥🔥

Legendary

Heavy Gratitude Reflection Eternal RPM is a Massive Classic

Exactly how i discovered *Portishead.* Had a party, 30 people in the crib on acid. Everybody leaves and i throw on a CD somebody left while i play Turok on the N64 and tranced out until noon the next day, i must have listened to the whole album loop a dozen times. Still one of my favorites to this day.
