Classic anything is hard to come by. And when it comes to music it's incredibly very difficult. Legendary Producer and Rapper DJ Quik can attest to this. Some may say he has more classics than DR. Dre. What do you believe? Let's GO!

Review:
There's NO rating anxiety when I review classics. We already know this is a 5 MIC album. What we don't know is why I believe so. This artist has been putting out quality music his entire life and for some reason hasn't been getting his flowers while he's alive. DJ Quik is one of the BEST producers in the WORLD and he's a great lyricist as well.
Born David Martin Blake on January 18, 1970, this West Coast rapper/producer is from the famous Compton, California. He affiliated with the Tree Top Piru Bloods back in his hey day and took the "C" out of Quick and there forms his famous name of "Quik". Taking the "C" out is critical based on it's affiliation with "Crip" gangs. And Crips do the same thing with the letter "B".
Started selling mixtapes in 1987, got a turntable for his 9th grad graduation and began DJing around Southern California. He signed to Profile Records in the summer of 1990 with a six figure deal. Back then that was unheard of. But Quik could rap, write and produce. They had a gold mind on there hands.
He dropped "Quik Is The Name" in 1991 with hits like, "Tonite", "Born and Raised in Compton" and my favorite, "Black Pussy". It reached 10th in the album charts. His other albums, including this one in REVIEW, never reached the success of "Quik Is The Name" even though other albums were much better with production and rhythm. I believe this was his first #hiphopclassic and "Quik Is The Name" was almost a classic. I also believe "Rhythm-Al-Ism" is a #hiphopclassic. I'll be reviewing that one as well.
DJ Quik has a P-Funk influence by artist like Roger Troutman (who even taught him how to use the talkbox, which became one of Quik's trademark sounds in 90's) and George Clinton. Quik produced for 2Pac, Janet Jackson, Snoop Dogg, Talib Kweli, Whitney Houston, Jay-Z, Dr. Dre and many more. I'm still wondering why Quik and Dre haven't done some collaboration album yet. Let's put it in the air.
Mr. Quik was in his bag on this album though. His first two albums were DOPE, but this is when everything came together. His production elevated to new generations. New galaxies. And he's always been a lyricist that you had to bow down to. This was the time when West Coast rappers weren't really in top ten MC conversations. But when Quik came on the scene, that changed. He was on the list.
So if your a NEW fan to DJ Quik, I would recommend you start with his first record and work your way to his most recent works. DJ Quik is still active making HEAT records. He has one of the BEST catalogs and he isn't even done yet.
