DJ Quik - Quik's Groove III

[MultiFrenkie]

Pay attention to details, the nuances, the 'wait and the growth of this song .. this is music at its purest that can be heard! This is a completely unique approach to the instruments and their own merger, Poetry composed of sounds.

[EKNYLIVE]

Got this set on my alarm. Smooth...

[MrVsamdol]

Happy birthday to me.

[evilgenious99]

[L1503G]

LOOOOOVE DJ QUIK!

[fleshnbone187]

Music should NEVER be this smooth!!! Too damn good for words. Is it even humanely possible to make an instrumental so perfect as this? If it wasn't for Quik, I would have not believed it. Like daaamn, this has automatic feeling of the past even if you've never heard it before.

[Igotgame4sale]

Gangsta shit offtop...Quik is one of the most underrated producer out there.

[21Hosey]

Oh. My. God. Thank you so much for the whole collection. God I love this music...

[ThaSoulFya]

Quik is a true musical genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tkvsevolod]

Thumbs up for Quik's best groove.

[jgk381]

DJ Quik is the "Quincy Jones" of hip hop, NOT Dr Dre.

[fleshnbone187]

@jgk381 I could understand Quincy being mad at Kanye being compared to him but he should be damn proud if he and Quik ever get compared.

[wizedivine]

its just so peaceful. and the cat who's playing the flute and piccilo is proof that even gangsters have talent outside of illegal hustlin

[wizedivine]

this makes you want pull the top back on your car , put your shades on and let he air blow through your hair while you smile and let your cares go for about 2 and a half minutes

[wizedivine]

this makes you want pull the top back on your car , put your shades on and let the air blow through your hair while you smile and let your cares go for about 2 and a hlf minutes

[candyfunk]

This Brother is truly blessed and long may he continue lifting let alone this unseen truth within the Hip Hop genre ......If you played this many not knowing who it was and then you told them who is playing and responsible for the music you can guarantee the look on their faces would be that original kodak moment .......Thanks for posting this ;O)

[LUMBAJAKMUSIC]

[blizzyrock]

[eutuxiaMJ]

[tderrell7]

this is unbelievable from quik a true musician and composer of music i didnt know he has this talent

[JimBryanMusic]

@tderrell7

You're right, this is exactly why Quik is so much bigger than Hip Hop and for that alone to me he's the best producer Hip Hop has ever seen.

[Jaycool10]

This Groove is my personal favorite

[kedordu]

its funny to me that quik was on this music that justice league , rick ross , olympiks try to do . cinematic and layered . 12 years ago . lol

[44eelz]

[rockdiga]

[44eelz]

[westside159]

NEW MC EIHT VIDEO - SO WELL 2010

[MrAce951]

[Jimystic]

@MrAce951

Thnx man, I agree with you man Quik is way more musical, listen to all the details he puts in his music. And don't get me wrong, I love Dre he's the shit but yeah... Quik just better ;)

[MrAce951]

[rockdiga]

[e2thaj79]

@Jimystic god the 90's thanks jimystic for takeing me back too all those good memory's good times wish i could go back to then

[Guitfiddlejase]

@Jimystic yeah man! Quik will always be the greatest....

[Prostylefilms]

@Jimystic Can't none of them 21st century producers fuck wit Quik, including Dre.

[sean20220]

this is so well done its dreamy especially if your stoned

[sean20220]

flute is absolutly class

[MrAce951]

the flute one of the best underated instuments damn shame dre has nuttin on quik

[datniggami6]

Dude! Jimystic...I thought there couldn't be a bigger fan of this dude quik than me...Guess i could be wrong. but i've been since 91'.

[JimBryanMusic]

@datniggami6

Well you a fan longer than I, I've been a fan since 1996 I think. I think I have about 95% of all the music he put out. This dude is the best producer in Hip Hop simply because he can do more than Hip Hop ;)

[datniggami6]

@JimBryanMusic LOL! I knew I had you on at least one thing. Dude...Just keep allowing folks to witness this great composer and NEVER ever take your post off. I love this shit! Good look on the invite!!! I wanna hear all these grooves live one day in my lifetime!

[xx1994xxversion2]

Why do I keep on thinking DJ Quik died?

[yorgan007]

what songs did quik sample in this one?

[MrAce951]

this is my fav of all grooves man i miss this dude

[JimBryanMusic]

@MrAce951

He's comin out with a new album soon it's called The Book of David, so be on the look out for that one ;)

[travelinman]

Quick is a musical genius

[Ferventspirit77]

This is an incredible reflection of urban rhythm composed on one of its greatest levels.

DJ Quik is one of the premier west coast hip hop artists of the early 90's, this impressive instrumental transcends what most people would consider hip hop music. Quik's wind and string arrangement exhibits the genius of classical composers.

[Lunatic4Bizcas]

The musicianship present in this tune is flawless. In any case, could anyone please let me know if any of the Quik's Grooves came out on vinyl. Thanks

[JimBryanMusic]

@Lunatic4Bizcas

Well you can get each album on vinyl which of course includes a Quik's groove.

[YaMixTapeMajesty]

This is that Shit, I still flex this as practice on my drums..Quik is the man!!

[babymuncho]

all of quiks things have been inspiring. a wonderful ear for music. insane insturmentals!

[hundred02]

i was listening to this lastnight with my pops.

this is the song right here smooth nice and relaxation.

[dbagmcgee311]

808 really dude lmao

[Ronin1914]

OH...MY...GOD! (WIN)

[MACProductions09]

this is that funk i remember having this album a just putting this song on repeat in the car

[drobb18]

i used this for a PP presentation in high school a long time ago :)

[ManiDProductions]

love this, never get tired of hearin it even after 10+ years

[bmatt1218]

man you talk about a talented brother. DJ Quik is truly blessed musician. They played this song on the jazz station in Detroit. What that tell you?

[mrssmithjr]

This is a great peice of music...

[tderrell7]

@bmatt1218 peace this track shows how talented of a musician that quik is truly blessed in the field of music

[SLIPJOEBE]

Detroit All Day..........

[smarty9876]

MASTERPIECE......from a true classic artist: DJ QUIK

[mcRioRemedy]

CLASS

[rob06889]

My Favorite Quik Groove

[TheIffy316]

This is such a smooth beat to chill out.

Only Quik could make this.

[PuCCiPuCCe]

My 2nd favorite Quik's Groove...my favorite is Quik's Groove II...thats the dopest one...I did a mixtape with that beat...I said some shit to the extent of "I like my bitches nasty, Im classy, Im in the muthafuckin assy, matter fassy, gettin real fassy, nigga straight gassin, gassin" LMAO!!!! Classic

[JayBennett1973]

this guy is more than a rapper..hes a smooth jazz musician..what else can i say about this man besides hes awesome..love his style

[westside159]

he has a quiks groove on most of his albums ..

[CallsignWhat]

I remember when I first learned to play this song as a sax fanfare in marching band. then i found out its a FAMU fanfare, and i went crazy looking for the actual song. its such an amazing song. Check out the FAMU version, just search "FAMU saxophone pt. 2" and its the first vid

[Jimystic]

Whoa that was cool! So they were actually playin a Quik groove or is this actually an older song or something?

[CallsignWhat]

well that video is from 1995, the same year this song came out, so i can only assume that they learned this song when it first came out. I doubt there is an older version of this.

[CallsignWhat]

also, search "FAMU Saxophones Fanfare 2008 FL Classic" and watch the first vid. Its FAMU playing it at the classics, i just like it a little more cause it sounds more epic when they play among a screaming crowd.

[MrKomKast]

@Jimystic FAMU made the fanfare after this song came out. thats like the ultimate sign of respect

[siloe103]

@Jimystic

quik sampled it and sounds like a light 808 he throw over it...

[phicticious]

@Jimystic

the band in that video play the track "mister magic" by grover washington jr.

"wicked tune" is still an understatement in that case.

thanks for the upload by the way.

[Guitfiddlejase]

@Jimystic I hate to admit it,but I don't know dude....killer though-killer.

[ThaSoulFya]

@Jimystic I'm curious to know the answer to this question too! Plz lemme know if you found out yet ;)

[JimBryanMusic]

@ThaSoulFya

What question is it?

[birdatplay]

aaahhhhhhhh,seh nuttin!!quick have d groove.

[seljones33]

Definetly the GREATEST of all the Quik Groove series...come out with a QUIK GROOVES SERIES c.d. compilation!

[tinkerrbell7]

mann i love my daddy....theres no one like you and this is why u are the greatest !

DJ QUIK !

[jepprovideo]

350 i agree. I just put it on repeat and drive away or sit back and think away. Ive met him and hes really cool and knows his stuff. Hands down

[ArturasDzeikas]

DJ "THE MASTER" Quik. Love ya

[Deprincer]

Great music. Reminds me of Jamiroquai's Didjital Vibrations!

[philipenis]

this is what we need right now in the industry period, whether its rap, r&b, etc. in don't matter.....THIS IS MUSIC!!!

[missjodz]

sounds like elevator music lol i like it!

[gentlemandn]

anybody know any other artists who compose music similiar to this? im lookin for some groovin and funking tunes.

[gentlemandn]

great artist! and maxwell aswell!

[typikalamerican]

to label and compare quik to a "rapper" or "producer" is insulting. call him what he is--a composer. compare his wind and string arrangements to those of a tchaikovsky. grooves I, II & III are timeless compositions,--worthy of far greater comparisons than to the "music" of a t-paine.

[Ronin1914]

@typikalamerican: I agree, "composer" is a better title.

[HiFiApartment]

perfect! real music

[350gtrs]

i like this groove the best

[frankwhite432]

best quik groove

[ThaSoulFya]

ah....my favourite of Quik's grooves!!!

[djksolo]

what an emotional ride this is, wonderfull arangement.

[Lion4rmdserengeti]

Has Quick ever done some shit with Nujabes? That would be a badass callabo.

[larryg626]

*Quik

[Herazaba]

Nah....that would be epic though.

[Herazaba]

It's this joint and Quik's Groove 2 that completely sold me on Quik as a producer. Even though the brother's kinda fallen off in recent years with some questionable albums....I gotta say...he is WITHOUT A DOUBT the greatest West Coast producer of ALL TIME. He just never had a real breakout album. It just seems like he's always been overshadowed by what Dre was doing yahmean.

It's a shame...He's really the only West Coast artist still worth listening to. His work speaks for itself....RAW

[Herazaba]

scratch that....i forgot about my nigga Madlib

[SkaaJones]

Wit u on that...... one of my bros favs!!!

Good lookin fam. ;o)

Hip-hop Eternalist.

[D33Lux]

"He just never had a real breakout album." So true! He never got the recognition he deserves. His album Rhythmalism is truly a classic platinum CD. Every single song is amazing! If anyone hasn't heard it your missing out!

[okocharuud]

One of the best westcoast producer fam....doc dre & battlecat

[Herazaba]

Madlib....

[DaBrowNukkaTre]

Word life. This shit makes me want to cruise downtown Phoenix during sunset! It's stuck in the '90s.

[jayubeezy2062Da405]

this male me just wanna ride in sunset witta bad bitch, n a benz or sumthin.

[tharapchild]

sunset music wid a chicc or str8 blazing ..pls play this

[TraeShawn74]

YES! Real Music! It's So Smooth. Imma Bump this till the end of time.

[IRON5]

I would love for quik to do a smooth jazz album....

[TraeShawn74]

He Really needs to.

[wise4me]

[zurplerain]

[Leecogic]

[Arcavian]

this is my alltime favorite quik groove

[nugus]

AMAZING interaction.piano bass flute...maan.

replay this instrumental over and over and over a....

[08Kabbotta80]

I hope that is some new retarded slang for a compliment. Otherwise, you just made a fool of yourself. Wait, either way, you just made a complete fool of yourself. ;) Happy New Year! Hope this one turns out better than your last.

[beatsbytheory]

WTF? Word? Quik did this? Damn, im impressed..I got the same swag with my "outside the box" production and cats look at me like Huh? - "Yeah, fall back children, get your grown man up"

[streetphase]

THIS WAS IN 94!!

[3491730]

heard this several years back..and thought then..this was one of the best instrumentals i've ever heard..shows versatility..i was more than pleasantly surprised

[djdiscomikki]

anyone know what instruments quik plays?

[ricktadre]

Bow down niggaz.

[Gman31]

It does kinda sound like elevator music, but I still don't mind hearing it!

[gee34]

Jazzy.Tight.

[BlazeThis93]

What Is The Sample From This??

[colanthony]

quik is a musician... I'm sure he played half of this

[Arre00]

DAMNNNN THIS IS THE BEST OF EM ALL

[BringDpain]

just beautiful, quik is one of the most underrated producers!

[6Bravo6]

sounds like elevator music or "on hold" music.

[dei57]

you have to listen to his albums to get his grooves

[BHBSTL]

It do a lil' bit though!

[tarwinn]

This is melodic... Quik has always had the ear for good muzic.

[birdatplay]

bumbo claaaat!!mellow is da flute...big up quick.

[kedordu]

this is like that roy ayers shit . i just think quik was in the wrong box. hes stereo typed as a gangsta rapper . but this is quincey jones , roy ayers shit . the best quicks grove is the one with jodeci tho . dont even trip . my girl was in tears when she heard it .

[StrictlyBG]

Great just great !.ya heard

[chicagocon]

the best quiks groove hands down!

[kamelgee]

I love this jam .. a piece of it reminds me of some jocco.. portrait of tracy.. or is it wheather report

[kalabash07]

he doesnt really sample thats why i like him he so underrated

[Jimystic]

Actually Quik used a lot of samples in the early days. But yeah he makes a lot of music without using any, either way it's always hot.

[ma2464]

This is next level...this one of them joints where u look at how far u have came... from the hood to hollywood.. from row houses to big houses..from project bildngs to luxury high rises with a doorman.. step ya life up

[dei57]

listening to this ;makes you not have a care in the world,its calming

[skipqtexas]

Beautiful!

[illiniev1]

More smooth beats from Quik

I always was a fan of West coast rap!

What happened to Quik anybody know?

I heard he was serving time for scaring

his sister with a gun or something to

that effect.

[Jimystic]

Yea that was some time ago, he been out for a while now. He's been working with AMG as the Fixxers and his latest project has been Snoop's latest album where he (co)produced some tracks and has been overseeing the whole album together with Snoop and Teddy Riley.

[Moriysz]

Go to wikipedia(dot)com and look him up. It has the biography of every famous person you can think of. Including updates.

[illiniev1]

thanks Ill do that!

[morlon24]

This is his second best groove

[cvp350gt]

[SkaterGem]

thi is something that would be played on a smooth jazz station.i already knew about Dj Quik because i bought "Quik is the name" back when it dropped in the 90's. a true artist. :-)

[tarheel9878]
