Such a musical genius!! He's done so much for the business and most people don't know it. That "All Eyez On Me" album has his name all over it in the credits under his real name: David Blake. A lot of people don't know that. The smoothest funkiest fly musical producer/rapper/engineer/DJ to ever rep the West Coast. This guy can mix jazz, gangsta rap and G-Funk all in one and make into a diamond piece. The smoothest muthafucka from the west. And put him and Suga Free together.....ha....forget about it!! It's like putting Nate Dogg & Warren G together, perfection. Much love and props for this great interview!!!! Thank you!!!
Legendary Dj Quik, AKA David Blake is a mad genuis. He's responsible for so many Death Row hits in the mid 90s. Lately he's fallen off but dudes like him, pick themselves up. Quik has yet to release his finest work.
I can't believe how hard I been sleeping on this man! im familiar with all the west coast artist from NWA to domino to snoop but I can't believe I never knew about quik. I was raised in the 90s I loved the sound and still do!!! I was exposed by many genres of music and many artist back then. I was just randomly browsing on the web and his compton alumni video pops up! I'm like who is this dude? He reminded me of myself from his personality to the way he thinks. I'm also left handed and often missunderstood. I done my homework on his career and music and was instantly speechless. The music really lives in him and he really cares about it. Back then I'm pretty sure he was raised around 70s and 80s music and when the 90s hit he didn't want the 70and80s music to die away so for him to put motown funk and r&b and also jazz into the 90s mix to come up with his own sound that nobody has ever heard before that was classy and unique to me. I love music but I have never been so inspired when I listen to classic albums like rythmnalism and book of david which are my favorite two albums. He sound is clear its loud you can hear every instrument very relaxing very authentic rather he is making a fun record or personel record. I'm glad I finally caught on sooner then never lol I'm honored to have gotten to experience this wonderful musician. And he is so very humbled down to earth a sweetheart! But what a class act his style is on point his hair and after all these years he still looks young at 45 yrs old. Would love to meet him one day. He is not only a musician but very seasoned in this industry. He has the knowledge the skills to not only make music but the way he breaks everything down from the instruments to the devices and equippment he uses! He such a genuis. Its very sad how much he has helped a lot of people and he doesn't get credit. A lot of songs I ben listening to my whole life I didn't know he was apart of or made happen. I can go on and on lol thru the many ups and downs he has been thru from his personal life to the music industry he still party put on incredible performances. He cares about quality good music that today has really fading out!! The music today has really changed I can jell with it but music itsnt about clubbing and 808s all day. Where's the passion the substance the meaning? The house party get together groove music. I'm 25 and I know music from bonnie tyler to the bettles to michael to ice cube to luther vandross marvin gaye to bowwwow. These kids today only know one genre and only four major artist. Its sad where music is going! Quik said everything is going digital now and soon or later its going to crash!!! I believe him he has been right so far!!! I love you david blake you help me thru a lot. I liten to you evey night literally the only way I can sleep. Thank you for this interview!!! By far the best I've ever seen him do. You brought the best out of him. He is so humbled very down to earth such a sweetheart!!! He not scared to be himself and tell the truth. I thought that was reall nice what he stated about suge knight!
I'm already on it boss thank you your right he is way too long over due. Its going to be every interesting to see his life career and what he has been up to over these past years! If he doesn't do anything else he has done enough. I'm just so proud of him. He is a true legend!!! A full bio of david blake? Awesome... thank you and have a blessed day!!!!
DJ Quik is the true epitome of a musical artist. Him speaking on things are words of wisdom. He lost a lot of friends and been through a lot of ups and downs. He is so candid in interviews.
I'm from NYC & I've ALWAYS been a DJ Quik fan...one of the best & most underrated hip hop artist ever...he's the truth! Bruno Mars 24k Magic song sounds like a Quik track...when I meet ppl from Cali & I mention Quik, they seem surprised I even know who he is being that I'm from the East Coast...this dude is a legend & he should be recognized as such
I've been a fan of him since Born and Raised in Compton. He is only a select few whos artists that i have their catalogue. He is so damn underrated it's sick. Dope ass interview. I didn't want it to end.
Still my favorite rapper/producer/DJ/mixer. I keep mybesrs wide ooen whenever I get to see or hear him get interviewed. I met him once and very briefly (gave me his email address). Very cool & down to earth. DJ QUIK is the man, for real.
Jim Jones You mad huh? Washed up? Quik has produced and worked with Jay-z ,Wyclef,Jadakiss,Bone Thugs ,TI,Ludacris,Jon B,UGK,Chingy, R kelly ....You chose nasty,crusty Jim Jones as a screen name......He hasn't showered his last album.
Thank you Montreality for doing such a great interview with one of Hip-hop's most underrated and insightful artists! This has made my week, go pick up that new Quik album 'Midnight Life'
You know how most great emcee's have that producer who brings out the best in an artist, I felt like Quick did that with Pac, when I first heard Heartz Of Men, I really wished him and Pac had did more songs together.
Yeah from the Better Dayz album, I fell like Pac's mom should've let Quick handle more production on his post death albums, even though I like until the end of time.
It pisses me off,he never gets credits,respect and accolades he deserves in industry, Some the most hardest beats were ghost produced .He is light years ahead most producers out today
His message really touched me bruh. Quik is still hella cool with things. One of my favourite rappers and the best producer in the game. Hope he's working on new stuff or we'll get a new song in his new movie. Peace out
This is my first time commenting on interviews and this one is on point, It's great not hearing 5 or 6 people asking questions and b.s.ing. for that I will subscribe!!!!
i love this interview i have the most respect for dj quick solid man , i remember bumbing into dj quick in burbank when i was active i roled up to him shouted to him quick u have bring and put westcoast on the map again on his sick as corvettte he talk like we homees respectful ,,, dj quick one the best ever
Gringo kid growing up on a cattle ranch getting into to rap dj quik was one of my favorites. I remember listening to his music while on horseback. Great interview. Wish more young kids would listen to his message.
DJ QUIK IS GREAT I CAN REMEMBER WHEN QUIK IS THE NAME FIRST CAME OUT AN I PLAYED GOT THAT FEELING OVER AN OVER LIVING IN COMPTON ON DWIGHT AN POPULAR GOING TO ENTERPRISE MIDDLE SCHOOL OH BOY THOSE MEMORIES STILL PUT A BIG SMILE ON MY FACE I LOVE DJ QUIK HE SMART HANDSOME LOYAL AN TALENTED AN I WAS 14 THEN AN I AM 39 AN I STILL BUMP LOK'D OUT HOOD TODAY YASSS
Quik issa REAL ONE for buying a VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 2 GLi when he got his 1st big paycheck ANND He reckoned that was the far he ALWAYS wanted , MAD RESPECT for knowing about the Vdubbing Life ! ! ! !

Ricky909 He said he actually tried to imitate Easy in another interview... , but I think he, Easy, patterned his rap style like Quik. NWA hypeman was his gimic...
Underrated!!! Needs all the credits for all the work he’s done. Quik!!!! My G!!! You should do a video to let us all know all the albums and songs you touched so there’s some type of catalog written down for historical sake. I hope to one day work with you on something At the very least one song or getting a few beats from you!!! Much love and Respect
I met Quik in 2008, one of the most interesting and honest people I ever met in the industry.
Quik a real chill dude, very well spoken too. Dope interview
Very well spoken and that 1 of the things I love about him🤷🔥🔥💯
hes a moron tbh he started a crip and blood beef over words mc eight said that had nothing to do with his ass XD

Quik is the best I swear real humble and smart he is one of them cool people you will in life that are impossible to dislike on a personal level
Quik and Terrace Martin are the most complete producers in the West

Lol the beat in the beginning is my ringtone. Its the spur of the moment (pacific coast) beat.
Yes! Y'all finally got him
Great Interview
Sick ass interview yo's
He gotta deep voice but he sounds like Eazy e when he raps, kinda strange.
I think it's bkuz when he raps he talks a little quikaa . No pun intended
Ricky909 Eazy's speaking voice wasn't high-pitched either.
he said in the interview that he tried to immitate him because he thought he was cool
It's not that deep. Just slightly a bit more base that's it.
Ricky909 He said he actually tried to imitate Easy in another interview... , but I think he, Easy, patterned his rap style like Quik. NWA hypeman was his gimic...
Underrated!!!
Needs all the credits for all the work he’s done.
Quik!!!! My G!!!
You should do a video to let us all know all the albums and songs you touched so there’s some type of catalog written down for historical sake.
I hope to one day work with you on something
At the very least one song or getting a few beats from you!!!
Much love and Respect
man i like how he ended the interview with that advice on thinking positive. thats some real shit. quik is such dope person
Love You Dj.Quik!
