DJ Quik is truly a student of the game you don't hear too many producers bringing science and a mask into the equation which is true you do have to use both of those if you want to make good music as I am learning that myself how important math really is when it comes to music DJ Quik is truly a smart man
El is a beast on that piano! :) I would love to play piano and have been practicing a little too. :) LOVE EL DEBARGE!. LOL at DJ Quik at the beginning. :D
Dr. Dre hires different musicians. A pianist will drop some keys, then Dre calls in the bassist, has him lay down some funky bass lines. Then calls in the guitarist to lay some riffs. Tweaks the knobs a bit. Mix it down. Calls in the artist. Lay down the vocals. And stamps the track “produced by Dr. Dre.” Calls it a day. Now DJ Quik on the other hand, no one can fuck with the one man band. This dude KNOWS music.
Im a young rapper coming up and I do underground raps. I also sing as well and If Im making an album, I want Quik produce the whole album. real talk. I want my lyrics and the beats to touch people hearts. Word up
T. Price you are correct. I love the piano. My teacher at the time who is blind like me said that I couldn’t play the piano and I’m only fit for the guitar. I figure like this. If I put my mind to it, I can do it.
@Jerry Louis with The Thickness thanks for your encouragement. I’m blind as well. I learned music at California school for the blind in Fremont California. In fact, I just bought a Casio CTX 5000 keyboard and I love it. I dig it. once again, thanks for encouraging me. I felt a little discouraged by him at times but I paid it no mind. And, I even play a little bit of the drums with no lessons. Yes I guess I am somewhat of a female Stevie Wonder.
@djquik28 This is Skubie tha Ciko, Amg & El Debarge - I like, but IMO doesn't sound that great as in this video. Search for Da Fam - I Like Shouts from UK!
