Quik Shows Why He's Underrated,
By "blazerfan0" (Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Quik Is the Name (Audio CD)
If you've never listened to DJ Quik before, be prepared to be amazed by his production skill. Quik is very similar to Dr. Dre in that he is an outstanding producer and doesn't hurt the songs by his rapping. His music is very easy to listen to as his beats immediately attrack your attention. They are so smooth and feed off of his influence from p-funk. "Tonight" is the type of song Quik is famous for by being able to make an old school funk rhythm sound futuristic and is unbelievably smooth. "Born and Raised in Compton" Quik scratches through the record in a song that is reminiscent of N.W.A. "The Bombudd" was Quik's first showing of his ability to mix different styles of music, using a reggae beat. This works very well as he has used it on many of his CD's since. "Quik is the Name" is another song where he shows off that he's not just a great producer, but a great DJ, mixing music together. "Loked Out Hood" is one of the most enjoyable songs Quik has ever made and Quik shows off his rapping to the fullest on this song as he takes you through his hood on this song. "Quik's Groove" have become one of my favorite reasons for getting his albums as he can make great beats without rapping that you can just groove to. After listening to this everyone should see Quik as one of the most talented producers ever in rap. In "I Got That Feelin'" Quik shows all the youngsters how to talk their game to women. It has one of the most memorable hooks I've ever heard with a woman singing and Quik breaking it up with his mixing skills. Classic. DJ Quik is becoming more of a household name with his production on "Addictive" by Truth Hurts, however it's on his albums where Quik has really gained his loyal fans because he never puts anything out that disappoints. This album is worth getting for anyone who wants to see production at its finest.

Underrated West Coast Classic,
By
This review is from: Quik Is the Name (Audio CD)
I feel like DJ Quik is one of the most underrated rappers ever. He's contributed so much to hip hop but his name never seems to come up when discussing the west coast's greatest. "Quik is the Name" took 90s hip hop to the next level. This album is just as responsible for starting the g-funk craze as Dr. Dre's "Chronic" is. With thirteen tracks, Quik created a perfect blend of early nineties hip hop with his funky p-funk samples and great lyricism to make an excellent album. His beats make him, in my mind, one of the best producers out there, and his rapping sounds like Eazy-E. "Quik is the Name" helped solidify west coast hip hop as a force in rap.
The album begins with "Sweet Black Pu$$y", a great track with a sweet guitar laden beat. Quik lets everybody know about his tendencies and he shows his smart yet likably immature style. "Tonite" is one of my favorite songs ever, it has a perfect bassline and keyboards throughout. I love the theme, the lyrics speak of "A day in the life of a brother named Quik" and it's the perfect party song or song to listen to whenever. "Born and Raised in Compton" is the second best song on the disc, a classic with a great beat, with Quik describing some of his experiences growing up in CPT. "Deep" and "8 Ball" both have funky guitar beats and are plain fun songs. "Loc'ed Out Hood" is one of the better lyrical songs on the album. "Tha Bombudd" is Quik's stab at a reggae track, he does a great job with the reggae guitar beat and has a funny Jamaican accent, it sounds authentic. "Quik is the Name" is another of my favorites, I love the scratch, and he rhymes real fast on it. "Quik's Groove" and "Dedication" have the same rolling, deep beat with funky guitar, it's great to chill to. "Tear it Off" is a good early-nineties style track, it has a chant and a horn line in the chorus, very nice. "I Got That Feeling" shows his slowed down side, displaying more of his versatility. "Quik is the Name" is a very underrated album and would appeal to any fan of either early nineties rap or g-funk. He is one of the best producers and is intelligent lyrically as well. This album is as classic as any and deserves as much respect as nearly any west coast album you'll find.

D.J. QUIK,
By hockeyplaya187 "Hckyplaya187" (Compton, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Quik Is the Name (Audio CD)
DJ Quik hits the mainstream with a bang in "Quik Is The Name." Here, he starts his trademark old school P-Funk vibe that would be prevalent in most of his future work. Sure, Dre deserves a lot of the credit for starting the G-Funk craze of the 90's, but Quik deserves at least as much of the credit too!! His beats are nothing short of phenomenal. The beat on "Tonite" is ahead of its time; it sounds like it could have came out in '95 or '96. He keeps it old school on tracks like "8 Ball" and "Quik Is The Name." His rhyming is good and his style is entertaining. The songs are funky, laced with the twist of the turntable. He isn't too hard core, but he still has a street credibility. Cop it!!!!
dj quik tonite tha best song there is man
