“I Don’t Think It’s Fair”

"I Don't Think It's Fair"

DJ Quik wants to be as popular as Dr. Dre.

DJ Quik has been in the game since the late 80s and has collaborated with the likes of Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, and more. David Marvin Blake who’s known for his production in the G-funk style of West Coast hip-hop is upset over not getting the same popularity as his fellow Compton legend Dr. Dre.

The “Quik Is The Name” artist took to his social media and stated that he deserves the same respect as the Aftermath mogul. “I know it’s early. But I deserve to be where Dre is. I don’t think it’s fair, but I understand why. I’ve never had a machine behind me, that always hurt my friends more than it did me,” he wrote.

He continued, “This doesn’t 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.”

“There is no automatic winning lottery ticket for everyone Periodt. On this planet, you get what you get. But it’s what you do with what you have been given to work with that makes you a star.” “I know I’ll 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.” “This is not a meltdown, I’m just expressing myself as neutrally as I can,” he concludes.

DJ Quik has nine solo studio albums in his catalogue, with the most recent “The Midnight Life” in 2014. He also collaborated with Kurupt and Problem for joint albums “Blaqkout (2009)” and “Rosecrans (2017)”.

DJ Quik was one of the 100s musical influences that Eminem honoured during his Rock & Roll Hall of Fame speech. “Congratulations to my left-handed Frat brother @eminem For Your Induction into the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame. You did that Bro. (And thank you for the shout out.),” wrote Quik.
