5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE BEST CD's EVER, October 5, 2004

This album dosen't have one bad song on it (exept maybe "The streets is callin'"). It has songs taken off his albums: "Way 2 Fonky", "Safe + Sound", "Quik Is The Name", "Under The Influence, "Balance + Options" & "Rythym-Al-Ism". DJ Quik has to be one of the most underrated rappers ever, and one of the most underrated producers ever. If you do not have this album I highly reccomend that you buy it (If you are a fan of west-coast rap).

This cd has Quik's all time greats on here. Could have been made a 2 disc cd and still got a 5 star rating. There are a few songs I'd have liked to see on here and one in particular I don't think should have been on here but nevertheless this album delivers some fire and has some of his best works on it. Check it out you will like it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quik's "Greatest Hits" Review, November 8, 2003

By 

Crazy Jim (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Best of DJ Quik: Da Finale (Audio CD)

In my opinion, no talent in hip-hop has been more overlooked than the legendary DJ Quik. For well over a decade, this rapper/producer/songwriter has been dropping slept-on classics with some of the very best production work I've ever heard. This greatest hits compilation features just a taste of some of Quik's very best work from the infamous "Sweet Black P--sy" to "Dollaz + Sense", his nasty diss record against fellow Compton rapper, M.C. Eiht. This album also features his talented roster of regulars such as 2nd II None, Suga Free, AMG, and his departed comrade, Mausberg.

While any longtime Quik fan may not quite agree with the choices here, there are some good picks. The feel-good summertime anthem, "Summer Breeze" is a nice selection as Quik remnices over a laid-back beat about the good ol' days. "You'z A Ganxta" is Quik's call for peace as he denounces his gangbanging ways in a moving tribute to Tupac and Biggie. Bangin' party cuts like "Tonite" and "Down, Down, Down" should certainly get some plays from anyone who like rap on a little bit of a funk tip.

If you've never felt compelled to pick up a DJ Quik album before, this might be a good place to start. Those who already own all of Quik's albums get two bonus never-before-heard tracks though that might not be enough of an incentive. I would have like to have heard a few rare remixes or B-sides on here such as the classic "Can't F--k With A N--ga" off the Menace II. Society soundtrack but hey, what are you gonna do?
