Ahead of his time. It’s crazy this is 1991. Quik had the flow pattern and produced his own shit… honestly a force in the industry. I played this and they didn’t even know it was a 1991 rapper but knew it was a throwbackish beat. Timeless flow.. a straight Gfunk Roger Trautman/David Blake enhanced 2021 Quik album would get my $. No cap.
Russell Adams See let me explain to these youngsters who think they know music. This shit right here is story telling. I can literally picture this whole story as a weekend playing out & it was actually lyrics & more than 2 3 mins of lyrics not that bullshit repetitive mumble jumble for 2 mins then the song is over & talked about absolutely nothing.
Lol they spoke from experience. A neat freak makes sure he don't leave a mess. Like a paper trail and have a vindictive wife that's waiting for any reasons to leave for simple fact y'all ain't beating guts right and take all them millions y'all stole from the people
+Darryl Brumfield nah man hes on the same level. he can play more instruments then dre. has a wider variety of beats he can make. if he not better then he close
Can't believe this song is this old.I remember bumpin this in my 77 Regal flamed up knuckled head glad im still livin alot of homies dead or locked up this was one song for all the bdawggs to listen too along with PIRU love.Thank GOD i made it thru those rough gangsta days.
Dj quik is the only rapper Alive besides Dr. Dre that are from Compton. I have lots of respect to DJ Quik because he never sold out. Respect to him unlike Dr. dre he went mainstream and also went his own way. Dj quik didn't let the money changed him. He still produced great records and till this day he still keeps it real. He hasn't changed from his style. He went from rags to riches and still keeps it real like if he was in rags which you don't even see from rappers in this day.
The reason for that is bc today’s rappers talk about partying or drugs or alcohol or gangs And all they talk about is being rich unlike the 90s Bc rappers these days are pussyz
I remember this party I went to as a kid they wouldn't let us play no hard core rap so all we had was the "Born And Raised" radio edit so we'd eat then dabce every fifteen minutes when the DJ played the song!!
Oh poor you. You only grew up in the golden age of hip hop. I grew up in the 2000s with Wayne and Yeezy and soulja boy and them. A few good like T.I. But you don't know how good you had it.
Lol right. I remember back in the day I got fucked by Walmart on the Too Short get in where you fit in album. Got home and started listening. Damn thing was edited.
He STILL is good had 3 albums out in the past decade that where dope. That's the thing with Quik, he can adapt his sound and still keep that funk. Better producer than Dr Dre in my opinion.
My name is Sharon, I remember when my friends an I were coming home from school, E. Morris. Cox on 98th an. Bancroft in Oakland. But we were walking home from the crawn Lodge on 99th I think but, we seen D.J. Quick playing basketball at his grandmother's house with his freinds It was big an beautiful, the house was yellow an white, nice. An a few years later, he came up, an the first record I heard was, Tonite, an I said to myself, I'm proud I seen him when he was young, I'm 46 know. Lvin it.
@@adc2327 but you get what she saying. Fuck you a teacher? Use your comprehension skills idiot. And she got it right the first time seen is past tense bitchh.
Something about this era was so authentic and organic. This new shit aight, but this.. this puts a smile on my face. I was born in 97, so this is way before my time. I just remember this being played all throughout the house and at cookouts miss them days.
DJ Quik was the man. We were having Quick bumping at 7 am in the morning in the dorm while getting ready for class!! I graduated from an HBCU in East Texas. Quik, the Ghetto Boys, Too Short and Doughy Fresh was the business in the early 90’s on black college campuses. Those were the best years of my life!!
I got to know more about DJ Quik through Kendrick Lamar. It’s crazy how this guy produced some of the most influential albums in west coast hip hop history
And to think I sat in his house in the valley ( west coast ) eating spaghetti while having some deep conversation with David about music engineering about soul of a man and his creative ability lol there also the great late mossburg and the 1 and only Mr. Suga Free amongst others we had a good time ( oh me 2face from Pomona Kalifornia….much respect to the Penthouse Klique….
This video and this song was another day in the life of Quik. You could tell Quik had fun doing this video. His homies was there, a lot of females was there, and a gang of spirits were present. But at the end of the day, this song was a sort of PSA for dudes who drink too damn much.
The very first song that put me on to Quik...ever since then he's influenced me to make beats and produce. Thank you QUIK...You are truly my favorite rapper. I'm 48 years old and can't get with the new school rappers but I'm cool with dat 😎.
Marcus Washington They were all underground NWA was just controversial that's why they sold most of their albums.And Quik is a west coast God so you smokin crack if you thinkin he didnt influence alot of the west coast sound
Real talk jack, 2true on that, underground Olskool legend influencing it spreaded out to the country side n other Midwest towns N watnot, shit n parts of the world tranna jock as well, that's why we call (😎WEST. Coast OG) alsewhere young gees but a with different vibe to it, nowdaysNshit.
@@marcuswashington3131 Quik was part of that era along with PAC N Dre. N the Rest West Coast Gangsta Rap from Dee late 80's to around late 90's7,8and99 shit change/flipped after 2000's
The rap music published in the year 1995 through 200 the rappers that all way came out with platinum his just because of there's songs that was about really pimping up the crowd
1991 was the best year in Quik's life.This album dropped days before his birthday January 18th.The album had already went Gold before this song came out in June.Everywhere i went somebody was bumpin this song or this entire album.That whole Summer of 91 was lit.Boyz In Da Hood was out in theatres and Jordan win his first championship with the Bulls.Quik was already flamed up wearing Bulls gear and Jordan was his favorite player so you know they was partying extra hard and turning up in the streets
DJ Quik's music is the music playing in the background of my life growing up. Im the same age as Quik , and this song "Tonight" brings back so many good memories . You could turn his music up loud and it would sound even better , crystal clear. Bump it in your ride , bump it on foot, with your box , it didn't matter , it would sound good. People who didn't like rap actually started opening up to Rap because of DJ Quik ... The beats , the lyrics ... the stories... It was all good in the hood in them days. What up Quik ? Much respect , don't stop , we need more music ... ! God Bless
That "Quik Is The Name" album came out my senior year of high school. This was the Friday-Night-getting-ready-to-posse-up-and-hit-the-block anthem. Back when a high school kid could walk into his local corner store and buy a 40 oz. and not worry about getting carded. 😁
@@JheriCurlJankins Hahaha , no shit , I was buying alcohol at 15 years old and then when I really was 21 they started carding me. lol All the girls where drinking wine coolers , Strawberry hill , I liked Mickey's 40oz . back then, but it had to be super cold ! Good memories Jheri J. !
It's true alot of older black people listened to Quik bcuz the type of music he was making.The black community loved Quik the only reason why Dre and Snoop were bigger were bcuz they were super mainstream
This song is truly a westcoast staple and classic of parties out here since it came out. Also, whats amazing is he come from the city im from where gang violence was off the charts, to be a member of a gang and high profile rap career and still be around is a testament to his street smarts and respect he gets.
I was living in California when this came out or should I say DJ Quik came out. But this was his big hit and I loved it. This is Westcoast sound which is why some don't know about him.
Lmao my brother still says "you weren't born yet but grandma almost beat my ass when she caught me listening to the eddie murphy raw tape!!" Lmfao 🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
This song is the first time I heard “it’s tha bomb” and “callin earl” back in 90 or 91 whenever this came out Quik, Second II None, AMG, HI-C, and Penthouse Players Clique - the whole crew was tight
I bought this album in the UK on tape in 1991. I still have it somewhere. At the time I was really into scratching in hip-hop tracks, so I bought it solely because it was by someone with "DJ" in their name, lol. I hadn't heard any of the tracks before. It's a dope album though, and this track is still something I come back to nearly 30 years later.
Tonight who still here banging this joint 2024🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🚬

Ahead of his time. It’s crazy this is 1991. Quik had the flow pattern and produced his own shit… honestly a force in the industry.

No cap.
He couldn't go wrong sampling Kleeer, the original Tonight.
@@darryljenkins7764 yessir!
People forget about Kleeer, they have classix.
Then they got sampled for Cali Love by Pac and Dre a few years later.
When N.W.A opened the doors, DJ Quik and his crew (AMG, HI-C & Tony A, 2nd to None) hold the doors
*Troutman
No cap? Is that something from this generation?
Forever Love 🖤
90s all day everyday 🖤

This is one of the best songs I ever heard

Literally!
Quik is my nigga he should get the same respect as Dr Dre when it comes to producing. Quik been grinding forever
aint that da truth
+Jonathan Vazquez plus at least quik make his own beats and lyrics unlike dre
he the man, he aint dre tho. no way.
+Darryl Brumfield nah man hes on the same level. he can play more instruments then dre. has a wider variety of beats he can make. if he not better then he close

The only Cali rapper I will always have respect for!. Dj Quik was so underrated !!!
Tupac? Eazy? Snoop? Dre?

This was my shit
1987 underground tapes
I understand.
I am 52 and still listening.
Me too 🎉🎉🎉❤❤😊 back in our days . Who here 2024 .
Back when rappers actually made clean radio versions and it didn't sound corny like it does now
so true
Griff Oliver Because rappers don’t have to rap for radio anymore.
You Such a Freakin’ girl LMAO 😂
The reason for that is bc today’s rappers talk about partying or drugs or alcohol or gangs
And all they talk about is being rich unlike the 90s
Bc rappers these days are pussyz
Vainest 11 DJ Quik in this song is talking about partying and drinking 40s...
it's fucked up that a lot of people don't know DJ Quik.
+Diego Horta Yes, I was just thinking about that before I saw this comment.
The most underrated and slept on producer and rapper
+Diego Lara Me too, omg
Man him and Dj Battlecat dont get the credits they deserve yo is crazy
born in 85 , grew up on quik
30 years old my dad just blessed my ears!!!
Quik is not only the man but way ahead of his time!!!!
Can never go wrong with this timeless dope track
100% pure hip hop classic. Underrated as hell, too.
Underrated West Coast legend
this will never get old, too fresh

Lol right. I remember back in the day I got fucked by Walmart on the Too Short get in where you fit in album. Got home and started listening. Damn thing was edited.
Back when werent gay
Such a fun song. Makes me wanna skate:)))
DJ quik's problem is that he was TOO good
Herman Cortez na I'm only running one like 15% percent
Wym
lil steve he means that’s the reason why he was so underrated compared to the mainstream artists that wasn’t as good as Quik
He STILL is good had 3 albums out in the past decade that where dope. That's the thing with Quik, he can adapt his sound and still keep that funk. Better producer than Dr Dre in my opinion.
Don Theking MUSIC sadly that no one knows de Quik that much
One of the best 💚
30 years old Today ,Quik 🔥🔥🔥
its like an ad for malt liquor
Quik Is The Name will always be his best and most important. It was the precursor to G-Funk.
DJ Quik is so smooth with the flow in this one.... this remind me of a Eazy- E song.
Better than Eazy-E imo
Also sounds like will smith bit his style

This song was just four years late for my crew from Albuquerque. We would have been cranking this up before every party.
Dis track Will Always be Dope af and I'm I'm from NY, was in the military when this dropped, video jukebox at the mess hall activities lmao!!!!
Damn, this track was Swimming Pools before Swimming Pools.
I’m 17 ts hard asl glad I discovered ts ❤Dj quick
I was 23 when this dropped and it went hard in cars, jeeps and the club...
Boy this shit is stupid Amazing how well this song and the visuals has aged!!!!! Take me back to 1989
This song is truly a westcoast staple and classic of parties out here since it came out. Also, whats amazing is he come from the city im from where gang violence was off the charts, to be a member of a gang and high profile rap career and still be around is a testament to his street smarts and respect he gets.
this song is such a vibe 🔥🔥🔥 classic!!
this was the jam back in the day I had to be in the 7th grade when this came out but I loved me some DJ Quik!!
Haha same. I was in the 7th too
lol just found this song today i heard it once 3 years ago from my ex she passed away yesterday finally found it
dj quick was mad slept on
One of the realest til this day in the music industry...
Just great for Hip Hop in 2024/2025 with DJ Quik. 🎤🎵🎶💙
DJ Quik is sooo under-rated as a rapper and producer!! It's because most people don't know the history and the early pioneers of hip hop!
Playing this yeah you guessed it… Tonight 😎
If you still listen to this song your an legend
I was living in California when this came out or should I say DJ Quik came out. But this was his big hit and I loved it. This is Westcoast sound which is why some don't know about him.
This was the first cd I ever bought. Needless to say, my mom almost had a heart attack! LMAO
lol!
This came out jn tapes
Lmao my brother still says "you weren't born yet but grandma almost beat my ass when she caught me listening to the eddie murphy raw tape!!" Lmfao 🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

@@gmcneoplan84 shit you ain't lyin there
This song is the first time I heard “it’s tha bomb” and “callin earl” back in 90 or 91 whenever this came out
Quik, Second II None, AMG, HI-C, and Penthouse Players Clique - the whole crew was tight
I bought this album in the UK on tape in 1991. I still have it somewhere. At the time I was really into scratching in hip-hop tracks, so I bought it solely because it was by someone with "DJ" in their name, lol. I hadn't heard any of the tracks before. It's a dope album though, and this track is still something I come back to nearly 30 years later.
Burgundy & olive 🫒 green. 👌🏽🤘🏽 🚩.
The single had the instrumental. This beat is hard asf. Yes I had it on tape 😆
