Quik is good but battlecat has crazy chops. Quik be getting other musicians to lay down his ideas that he can’t play himself.

@derrickrogersmukunya9377 7 ай бұрын

DJ Quik is just like Dr Dre, all they do is lay the drums and mix later on, the rest is played by musicians like keyboards, guitar and bass etc. DJ Battlecat does it all by himself not to mention the talkbox!!@@SpikedCollar666

I honestly think battlecat's beats are better than dre's. The beats that are on the radio now just arent as complex as they were. Now they're really simple... not to take anything away from them because I do think they are catchy but it seems like anyone nowadays can put a beat together in 10 minutes and talk about their suicide doors and making it rain and they have a hit. Watching this man work is a pleasure. Great producer, great beats, great talent.

Cooking is very similar to love or beat making you have to respect the fundamental rules and know it well. Only people who "have it" within can improvise freely while playing with the rules without causing conflicts. You can tell that the kid in him is having fun he is natural. Most unique results always come from the right improvisations. it is the subconscious mind taking most of the decisions in real time without the need to correspond with logic but still syncing.. This is how you get originality. Tasty tune..

I bet the 53 people that dislike video are taylor swift, and jonas brothers fans. lol Cat is one of the most underrated producer. To make a beat from scratch is pretty sick as well as difficult. Any one who can appreciate west coast music should also appreciate battlecat being one of the west coasts pioneers in hip hop music.
