DJ Quik - Safe + Sound 

True man...

We'll only the people who grew up in the 90's will truly listen to his music. Let them sleep while we enjoy this joint 💯💯💯

Ronald DGK I feel you bro

Quix turn cocaine into gold, you can't hate that!

Tris A. I'm not even from the US bro... And I know this legend of the Hip-Hop... Vivan los 90's ! Bless !

vince.thesith Now YG is a BG

DatHomie Don't call a YG a BG.

Best comment!

OCM Kee facts bro

Lebron 3-5 James Fr that's like calling a Blood or Piru a Crip.

Yeah one thing about his newer beats they don’t sound dated like dres newer beat but meh

No cap

U can hear it if u have a music ear

Could not have said it any better

Sonically speaking, Dre's sound was better. Might be the best in all hip-hop in that era.

Michael Havas lmao

UNKTIE = Young joc

Dead

He & Snoop could

Bone thugs

Preach!

You mean it’s platinum

5.7 million viewers, oh they know! 💯

because its evolving. you should to

+Jay Townsend mad or nah?

+MoustacheJr just no

"Just no" what?

+MoustacheJr it's not evolving

riley freemen he took the time to learn instruments, instead of using a beat machine for everything.His music is unique and is a master at combining genres.

Christopher Peters he was popular back then but now he forgotten

he ain't forgotten. Quik is the GOAT in California.

Christopher Peters because people like to listen to trash

Christopher Peters but Quik know he 1,000℅ cause he even wrote for Dre alot.

its pretty much dead

if thats the case why you here then

´Cause this song is of 1995,and yes,it is telling a story,but today,its death my friend,today most of the songs i listen there all talking about sex,and drugs and stuff...I used to be cool man...

Quik was the west coast version of Slick Rick when it came to storytelling.

5616steph i agree its completely timeless and is definitely my favourite style of rap. But it is dead now. I havent heard a good storyteller rapper in a long time.

Indeed!

True DAT!!

Moozy Mathers

Moozy Mathers LMFAO aye you right

Clean like those educational videos back in the old days in school or DMV 😂❤️

This video is giving me GTA SA vibes with the nature and I love it! 😊♥

Moozy Mathers

Not only that, but people were outside in this music vid, like KIDS were playing basketball, it makes me sad...

+James Butler When we were kids, we use to play in the streets from after school all day till curfew at 11:00 pm. Now, the nieghborhoods look abandoned. Shame really, definitely a lot more alive "back in the days". Sigh..

+3 33 that makes me sad :(

inflation foo

+3 33 no lie homie was literally just talking bout that wit my girl yesterday

+Ezralibrascale More Like, Snoop is Eazy meets Quik...

Ezralibrascale exactly

Ezralibrascale he was b4 snoop

silver Never that

But his persona and way of moving around reminds me of wiz khalifa so much

While you got OddFuture as your Pic

+Jay Glizzy That doesn't mean I listen to them I might just like their logo

+Epic Gamer 12324 Might

+Jay Glizzy Ok

Loli thought that was xxxtentacion

He's a blood, so it's spelled "kooler than Kool"

Michael Keating k

Christopher O'Neil *Booler than Bool

they don't

+Stretch Armstrong West coast best coast

I really love the 1990's West Coast sounds. I believe the west coast had much better music to dance to then the East Coast but East Coast had great beats as well.

Yessir

Stretch Armstrong I agree the souf had them bangers like where I'm from real Texas shit mane we had that bass

There's a ton of very talented emcees today that you are obviously sleeping on: Kendrick, Ab-Soul, Big K.R.I.T(who is like Quik & produces all his own beats), The Underachievers, Most if not all of the Odd Future crew, Curren$y, Freddie Gibbs(find the Madlib collab album) and hella more, but that should get you started on whats good in this era.

Nathan Takushi

Nathan Takushi i know but theres not that many and i just don't like the style of rap and hip hop and what it has become i like old school rap and thats never gonna change so thats my opion and a lot of those good rappers are underground and the ones who are mainstream that are really good probably aren't getting enough props because just like when rappers make music that matters like dj quik or any other rap artist they don't get appreactied for it and when your a rapper now it seems like you gotta make crappy songs about money cars jerwley and all of that i get tired of this stupid rap and all of these people sound the exact same they all try to sound like lil wayne or rich homie quan and all of that mess back then rappers had their own unquie style of flow now the the flow of rap sounds the same and its a shame because the late 80s going into the early 90s was like the best hip hop and rap and its sad of how its become today

Please don't disrespect people like Wayne and Robb there are real artist hittin then punch lines hard

Makehi Williams a lot of 90s rap is garbage too.

cant argue wit ya

dre is a lil bit underrated

Oneight Sev Dr. Dre is considered to be a top 5 GOAT hip hop producer. He definitely isnt underrated

i think so too.

Quagmire97 pretty sure he meant that in a sarcastic manner as most people rave on and on about dre

hes still the best; this record was the best hip hop record and he was smooth as velvet; this was a masterpiece of legendary 90s; he was an innovator quik--who could could forget his epic diss with mc eight-even though both were legendary peace

Lol what

foreal im 18 and im the same way bruh

Dad got taste.

This is exactly how I'll raise my future children 🙌🏾

Im 25 and bless your dads

Im 14

I feel yea 💯

Odis Rowlett

Odis Rowlett Me too! 👌🏾👊🏽

Odis Rowlett me too

Top 5 for me

+Effen Vodka Jacked Eazy's style.

+L1am21 I know he even spoke about it in +MONTREALITY interview

Also talked about he got his Stage style from Tupac. Smooth as fuck tho, deadly combination.

you mean before yg there was dj quik

Before auto tune there was g funk and right here? Right here is the g funk King!

but I mean who is fetty really?... he ain't shit lol

Lamont Cranfield haha xD

***** a fake ass rapper

Even drake and then turn him into an old Hen

what about odd futures career?

34 Donuts it's the Strawberry Letter 23 groove, but the strings keyboards and autotune pepper that shit right up

@@uberxchuck944 it's not autotune... He actually found what equipment old school funk artists used to produce that vocal effect and purchased that very gear, then took a year to learn how to use it properly.

@@uberxchuck944 damn I hear it now. That's insane coz Louis Johnson is my favorite bass player next to Marcus Miller and Quik is my favorite Hip Hop producer of all time and had no idea this bass line came from Brothers Johnson and I have all their work

@@buddhafyre Roger Troutman, not "old funk artist".

@@blaquenguni9249 Roger actually taught him how to use the talkbox. He met him in 92 around Way 2 Fonky, so between 92-94 he learned how to use it. So in 94 that's when you heard him use talkbox.

lol

lol

Lol

FUCK ASAP ROCKY!

shut up.

Greg Chucky he told me to come to the park to be in the video My n**** Chucky with the red hair

Yeah him and too short

I was reading i wanna be your lover is sampled in this but I can't hear it

DJ Gary This a sample from Strawberry letter 23 from the 70's.

Troy Rush you smokin dope i don't know who doesn't know about dude and im from florida. dude did a mixtape with problem it was #1 on itunes earlier this this year

Lolly Stew wait what? I know who he is said said that it's too bad he doesn't get credit for how great he was/is. I'm from Florida too but I feel like dudes from Florida can relate to cali music

You're so right on that. This brings back memories of my childhood.

Nearly all of his albums bang... that's my opinion though. Lol. #70sbaby

The best feeling in the world riding through L.A listing to this song

***** YOU KNOOOOOW!

LaCheleWallace And then on his 4th he started becoming metrosexual-ish LMAO he said that himself in a interview lol Debarge played a role in that

Karl Sylvain lol

reaguurder3479 4real

Should’ve also been in gta v

Gta san andreas takes place in 1992

I completely agree!!

Over dinner during the winter i love u so much i felt like a beginner safe and sound safe and sound safe and sound we're going to throw down

I hope u like, see u soon call anytime rain or shine your time is mind

Go check out my RU-vid Page, I make Old Skoo hip hop

Okay

He simply made his statement which still holds in these modern times.

Speaking the truth, baby girl 😤

Production was tight.

damn you do what you gotta do then lol

as you know you can hear the funk sample i love thats what i love about west coast hip hop so much

same too im from nyc and quik is tight

I'm from D.C. and been fuqin wit tha Quiksta although I fux wit 8 hype too.

Its like Quik said in an interview, shits too easy now, back then, them mother fuckers gotta hussle and really put in work. Work ethics.

Im sayin

+Kid Buu what you sayin nigga

marlon Malone Im sayin all the old school rappers are better u ugly jimmy the cricket lookin bitch

Piru...all day. It was about that cheddar!

***** He was reppin' Piru from the start. His first mixtape was The Red Tape and there's a reason why these no 'c' in Quik

BowsieHawker lol yup i know

I'm able like Clark Gable to give love and not be label in the bathroom or the kitchen table baby cry I'll rock the cradle. I'm everything u need more than what see. Sucker free on TV with shine teeth U reach your peak when you're with

*****​ haha that also had to do with the sound of hip hop changing once again before the 90s were over. I think after that track he did with Toni Tony Tone, he began to move to even more smooth party tracks. Plus he was working with Suga Free and El Debarge alot. Lol in one interview he credits El Debarge as the reason why he looked very "metrosexual" in those days hahaha hence the Rhythmalism cover.

Still Bumpin it in 2022 🔥

This whole song is about money, bitches and drugs.

smatlove4 That "Burgundy" plaid shirt represents Piru its how Blood gangs from Compton and parts of inglewood distinguish themselves from the rest of the Blood hoods out here

And what's this song about?

The song is about how to make money, sell bitches and relax. Todays rap is about spending money on bullshit cause we rich, spending money on bitches, so technically they all tricks and take hard drugs that will probably kill you one day.

Don't you mean the 80s?

eazy e was his friend

the hair, the cap.

+iwc Themes didn't Eazy E hate Death Row?

+duck films He did (kinda), but he and Quik were friends before Death Row (80's I think). I don't think Eazy hated Death Row. I think he hated Suge Knight. There's an interview with B.G. Knoccout (The guy from Real Compton City G's) who talks about how he was even willing to do a reunion with Dre and Cube, but Dre wanted it on Death Row, Cube wanted it on Lynch Mob and Eazy wanted it on Ruthless.

+ChrisDoesLinux in his songs he disses death row, snoop doggy dogg and dre, but if they were friends then I believe you

Hail yeah

it's the edited version 😂

@@HugeGamma it was recorded as a clean version, not edited, friend.

@@DjTIMEJD I GOT THE REGULAR VERSION AND IT'S CURSING. LOL 🤣😆

@@s.d.tproductionsinc that’s the album version. This was made for radio/video, friend.

It proves he can do it, but you don't know Quik. Back in the day there was always a radio version and an album version.

AqUa Neptune true

Tamia Armstrong OG

Nah. Trippie looks like a crazy dude

I do this type of stuff too. I think I probably been to every single Los Angeles Landmark from East LA to South Central to Beverly Hills to the valley Etc. I'm just a big-time nerd when it comes to my city

@@ChromeTecNina 💯💯💯

As of this comment .... you gotta Be 18 now . 🙂

thought I was the only one that peeped it

nah like 8 of us got it lol

ray rudis also sampling Prince as well.

whats the name of the sample?

@@pabloaguilar9598-Strawberry Letter 23

Tint Eastwood yeah but all them "big" names out there cant rap for shit

YG isn't really from Spruce st. He's aktually from 800 block. I'm not saying he isn't TTP. I'm no Piru, But I got family from TTP, CBP, NHP & BSP. Before you go around comparing some kid off the streets (YG) to one of the legends (Quik), learn your fakts. I respekt YG, But he's not from 400 Block. There's not enough housing on Spruce St. (400) for all these rappers to Be koming up from there. First Quik, then re¢ently Kendrick (He doesn't Bang, But he grew up on 400 & he's got TTP family) & now YG.

Anakin Taylor i wasn't comparing , i was just doing a shoot out to them, i taught they were from the same block : YG always claiming Spruce and dj Quik actually is from Spruce St And you telling me to know the facts, i don't give a shit about idk what facts I was just doing a shooutout nuthin mo nuthin less

Anakin Taylor but thank you to tell me about those info

Anakin Taylor and i almost forgot , i got family either but they in FTP, that's one thing we have in common

elryck94 naaaah yg from 400 he wrong

stanley watson Real LA shit....I went to Crenshaw High to

Yes, I went to Crenshaw too. So many good memories!!!
