I'm a huge Quik fan and this DVD is cool, but it had too much studio footage and too much of the camera following Quik around. And the big dissappointment was that it only had 4 videos. It should've had most if not all of his videos and a better biography of how he got started in the game. So you should only buy this if your a big Quik fan. If not than don't bother.

He's been in the music industry for close to 15 years. He continues to write, produce, and perform some of the most addictive music in the history of West Coast rap. Still, DJ Quik must fight to gain respect. With his latest project, a full-length DVD movie chronicling his life on tour, in the studio, and all sorts of behind-the-scenes action, Quik aims to shows his fans all of the hard work that goes into making his music.

"Visualism" isn't your average "Behind The Music" profile. You'll not only get to hear Quik speak on his life and his career but also get some insight on how he produces his music. There is a lot of very interesting information for all the aspiring producers and musicians out there.

"Visualism" not only shows what Quik has been up to but it also introduces you to the line-up of artists who work with him on a regular basis including Hi-C, Suga Free, and AMG. It also has Quik speaking on his departed homeboy, Mausberg, with concert footage of the late rapper as well as video of Quik's tribute to him on tour. Quik also speaks on another deceased rapper, the legendary Tupac Shakur. You'll also see Quik in the studio working with Nate Dogg on the soundtrack for the Chris Rock movie, "Head Of State". You also get a commentary track where Quik speaks on the entire movie.

Any true DJ Quik fan will want to own this DVD and if even if you've never heard anything that Quik has put down in the studio, this might convert you. You may want to pick up a few of his albums and get the backstory on his career first though.

I'm a long time fan of Quik. This DVD is better than all of the "behind the scenes" hip hop films. Quik is real and doesn't put up a facade for the cameras. He pays strong tribute to his crew and gives love to his fans like he's the fan. D.J. Quik's Visualism is highly entertaining and is one of my favorite DVDs. This is a must have for all fans of Quik, Hi-C, AMG, and Suga Free.

If I was DJ Quik, I'd be mad as hell if I knew that Amazon was trying to bundle my DVD with a Crip-Walkin DVD! DJ Quik's a Blood! Amazon should get that changed. For real.

Otherwise, DJ Quik is an amazingly talented producer and every "Quik's Groove" on his albums is just a refreshing track to listen to.

DJ Quik is one of the Baddest Cats in the Music Business.in the Rap-Hiop/Hop Game He is My Favorite Producer.the Cat has Tight Jams&alot of Fun in His Grooves.this Compilation showcases the Genius of Quik&He brings His Crew on board here.Quik is So Underrated it's not even funny.

This DVD is so good. I picked it up at my local store for $10 Australian Dollars. This has the full-length film-clips for "Tonite", "Trouble", "Born & Raised In Compton" & "Quik Is The Name". It also has lots of concert footage, a tupac tribute, a mausberg tribute & lots of behind-the-scenes footage. If i was u i would get this without even thinking twice about it.

the first time i really noticed dj quik was when he and amg dropped the way ahead of itz time trouble..the first time i heard the intro i was doing something and the t.v. was up loud but when i heard that i ran 2 the t.v. and was like wow and ever since then i've gotten almost everything that quik has ever released...
this dvd is a great look into the world of quik and how he gets down..even though itz dated itz still a good look into his world and genious who has crafted some of the best tracks in black music history..i once heard someone say and i quote "dj quik is the poor man's dr.dre"i strongly disagree,quik might not get the same looks as dre but he is in my book equal or even better
get this one

this man deserves more props period point blank.he does not try to shine above the rest or step on anybodys feet.very creative,talented,genious.he has'nt had the talent on a label as some others had but the future is mr. quik please beleive.he's made hit after hit for over a decade now and he still have not reached his peek yet.ohhhhhhhhh boy

Quik fans got alot in the last 2 years. 2 CDs and now... The best rap DVD to ever hit shelves. Trust me, when you see this you'll be blown away. I've never been so excited for a DVD. In fact I watched it twice in one day. But even if you arent a huge DJ Quik supporter like me, you'll still love this, for the comedy, the girls and most of all, the music. David Blake has never had a look into his life like this. You see shows, studio footage, personal videos (with lots of Mausberg in them), Exclusive never before heard audio done by Quik, and probably the best is just seeing his life on the road. Quik and his crew have lots of fun and it makes you think, "If I was a rap star I'd like to be like that". The greatest producer in rap music has finally done it, and I wouldn't think for a second to not recomend this.

amazing footage!!! overall a amazing dvd of one of todays musics best producers.. lots of funny stuff and fans in this DVD!!!! check out [website] to talk to other fans!! some of them can be seen in this DVD! just order it i promise you you wont regret it!
