DJ Quik - Black Mercedes featuring Nate Dogg  

Posted by Unknown in






Banging track from underrated West Coast Hip-Hop veteran DJ Quik and Nate Dogg. Accomplishments: DJ Quik might be the best musician hip-hop has ever seen. While he's never been the most popular or celebrated, few producers can match Quik's aesthetic - live instrumentation rolled into an eclectic mixture of funk, jazz and R&B. It's almost sad that Quik has always been overshadowed by fellow West Coast producer, Dr. Dre. But regardless, the Compton native has a classic catalogue, including his genre defining debut, Quik is the Name, and standout albums, Way 2 Funky, Safe + Sound, and Rhythm-al-ism. Signature Sound: Live instrumentation; Crisp drums; Funk aesthetic; Mixing and arrangement; Layered sounds Lineage: AMG, Suga Free, 2nd II None, Hi-C, Mausberg Five Classic Songs: "Born and Raised in Compton" by DJ Quik; "Tonite" by DJ Quik; "Dollaz + Sense" by DJ Quik; "Heartz of Men" by 2Pac and "Pitch In On a Party" by DJ Quik. Classic Albums: Quik is the Name (1991) Weakness: Even though DJ Quik has produced tracks for the likes of Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg and 2Pac, his catalogue outside of his own work is limited. His best work has always come from his own albums.
