DJ Quik recalls funny incident with Eminem during ‘Encore’ studio session

Last month, DJ Quik and Jason Martin, also known as Problem, joined N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN on Drink Champs for an legendary conversation about West Coast Hip-Hop. The legendary duo share stories about working with Jay-Z and Tupac, and give insight into Compton’s music scene. They also dive into topics like the recent Kendrick Lamar versus Drake beef, the importance of owning masters, and the historic Super Bowl Halftime Show featuring Dr. Dre. Quik and Problem reflect on gang culture’s influence on hip-hop while emphasizing the current unity in LA’s music scene.

At one point of the interview, DJ Quik recalled a funny incident that happened during the “Encore” studio session with Eminem and Dr. Dre. “I helped with a lot of records to Dr. Dre. I’m on ‘My Dad’s Gone Crazy.’ I was in the studio when he was doing Smoke Choke Me, Spank Me. That’s my drums on Eminem’s ‘My Dad’s Gone Crazy.'” – said DJ Quik

Then he continued: “When I gave Dre them sounds and left, Dre just put them all at work so he would be like ‘Quik, you busy?’ I’m like ‘Nah, what’s up?!’ I’ll go to the studio and he’d be like, even the booth and s–t, that nig-a be like, ‘bum-nunu-bum-nunu, now I’mma do this thing.’ I’m getting chills just outside the studio, I was like ‘what the f–k is that?!’ And he was like ‘them your drums, you get?’ I’m like, ‘bro, I’m still getting chill.’ The way them sounded they were unreal. I should have stopped drinking just to be more present.”

“F–king watching Eminem mixing Encore and s–t. And this stripper b–ch knocked me over his equipment and s–t. We both go falling and Eminem was like ‘DRE! get your man Dre!’ I’m like ‘EM! It’s not me! It’s that her, fat a-s Puerto Rican.” DJ Quik added.

Then he talked about the drums he made for 50 Cent’s Get Rich Or Die Tryin’: “In Da Club and If I Can’t. Then I gave Dre the drum sound of ‘If I Can’t’ he was [impressed]. I do sound design, that’s really my s–t. Dre is like Quincy Jones. These motherf–kers only want to hear something they have never heard before. You got to impress them. You gotta go do some s–t they never heard before and then they let you in and party and bi–ches jump on you, weed comes out, the liquor, the money, the check…” You can watch the interview below:

DJ Quik says he deserves to be equal to Dr. Dre

Legendary DJ Quik decided to get somethings off his chest on social media while reflecting on his iconic musical career.

West Coast’s G-Funk sound architect expressed his thoughts that he believes his career should match the mainstream acclaim of his longtime friend, another legendary producer, Compton’s finest Dr. Dre.

“I know it is early. But I deserve to be where Dre is. I do not think it is fair, but I understand why. I have never had a machine behind me, that always hurt my friends more than it did me.” said DJ Quik on Twitter.

Then he continued: “This does not need to be on a podcast. Because you have fire starters, who want to spin everything to get more ratings. But the truth is: I love Dr. Dre, like a big brother, one I never had. It pains me when people pit us against each other.”

“I know I will never be as popular as I need to be, but I have 10s of artists superstars. And when they shine, I just smile. The janitor doesn’t get all the glory, but he keeps the backstage, clean as a triage.” DJ Quick added but the series of the tweets did not spot there.

“This is not a meltdown, I’m just expressing myself as neutrally as I can.” he said. You can check all the tweets below:
