Quikker Said Than Dunn Lyrics


My name is Quik, yeah, this is true
Keepin' your attention is what I'm gonna do
Hardcore yo, I could never be soft
Askin' me my defin' they say the boy goes offFillin' up my memo with the touch of my rhyme
Suckaz stayin' with me 'cause they know the time
Quiet on the set because I'm about to begin
And if you didn't hear me boy I'll tell you againMy name is Quik or just call me Q
But it doesn't really matter to you
'Cause I'm the same person
Whether serious or rehearsin' I just gotta keep cursin'This is for the radio so I better chill
They won't play it if I co get ill
But I'm like that and that's an actually fact
Because the street is where my heart is atYo, I don't do dope but I'm dope not a dope
But I'm doper than anybody who trys to cope
If the rhyme I'm dispayin'
And the beat thats playin'Yo you could try all day
And you still won't match up with the ruthless P.O.W.
'Cause Quik's doin' it Compton style

That's the city and you say you could get some yo
It's quiker said than dunnWoo, wooThey made it easy for me to get my point across
So listen up close if ya don't ya might get lost
I'm not a role model nor a Dr. Seuss
But I'm not a gangsta and I'm about to get stupidI guess it's time for the drama
With the Q U I K comma
Now that's drama so pay attention
By the way I must mention I'm comin' off
Hard in the third dimensionWith the glare but you don't need no glasses to stare
It'll probably take you in and it's just like your there
With the Q on the Compton tip
So if you think I'm a flip or slip don't even trip'Cause I'm a destroyer
My homie Theo is a DJ not a lawyer dope, fly employer
On the static, that's my station to get the money, the women
While we dippin' round tha nationBoy, Mister Quiks of toys
I mean straight while ya suckin' with the girls enjoy
You must be sick or ya lonely
How ya gone still my name if ya don't even know meBlak Tone, what's up?
Get the gat show 'em where it's at
And that's just the sound and next time
I'm peelin' ya cap to let ya know where I'm comin' from
Quik said it and it shall be dunnWoo, wooCreatin' dope jams are the part of the cycle
Quiker said than dunn, yeah, that's the title
Rubbin' the lady's only the fly once ya know
But would if she's ugly, if she come she a ho?Don't ask to battle me home boy
What's that you wanna battle me boy
Ya better be strapped 'cause where I'm from
It ain't all about that playin'
Now that's what I'm sayin'Sevy thought that I was born in '73
Now everybody wants to know the A G E
Girls on the tip fellaz too it seemed
Had everybody thinkin' I was only 15The fellaz would annoy me the ladyz would adore me
And what was I to do I wishin' nothin' ladies do
'Cause the ladiez I luv 'em nice and then soft
I hate male groupies so just step the hell offI'm the real Quikster 'cause others be fakin'
Tryin' to game fame off, the name I'm makin'
Sayin' on your records you could get some
Yo home boy, its quiker said than dunnJust a Quik dedication to tha creator of Gangsta Rap music
Mr. Erik, Eazy E, Wright, that's how its doneWoo, woo

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
DJ Quik (born David Martin Blake on January 18, 1970) is a West Coast rapper and record producer from Compton, California. He was raised at 436 West Spruce Street in Compton, California. As a teen he took up an affiliation with the Tree Top Piru Bloods, hence why his name is spelled Quik with the C conspicuously missing. A lot of Bloods would let the name "Quick" (because CK stands for Crip Killer) but he chose "Quik" to represent the Red but at the same time in some form of respect for the other side . He grew up without a father and moved out of his mother's home when he was only 17. He lived in the house as the only male with 8 sisters. His home life was far from stable as he raps in a song that one of his sisters was selling drugs to one of his other sisters. He began selling homemade mixtapes (like "The Red Tape", 1987) after he received a turntable for his 9th grade graduation and then began doing shows DJing around Southern California when he moved out. He signed to Profile Records in the summer of 1990, reportedly as the label's first six figure signee. Not only could he rap and write his own songs, he could produce as well.

His debut album, "Quik Is The Name" was led by the success of two top 20 R&B singles, "Tonite" and "Born and Raised in Compton." "Tonite" even charted on the pop charts. The album ended up reaching 10th on the album charts. None of his successive albums reached the success of his debut, though they have been well received in California, particularly his 1998 release "Rhythm-Al-Ism." His most popular albums are Quik Is The Name and Safe + Sound. . On "Safe + Sound" appears "Dollaz And Sense," which was a diss track to Compton rapper and member of the rival Tragniew Park Crips MC Eiht. Though full of bravado at the time, Quik now admits to fearing for his life during the period.

Instead of joining the G-Funk movement during the 1990's, DJ Quik had his own style that a new version of P-Funk, inspired by artists like Roger Troutman (who even taught him the use of the talkbox, which became a trademark for Quik's sound in the 1990's) and George Clinton. Throughout his career, Quik has collaborated with and produced for artists including 2Pac ("Heartz of Men", "Words To My First Born", "Late Night"), Janet Jackson ("All For You"), Snoop Dogg (e.g. "Doin' Too Much", "Buss'n Rocks", "Don't Tell"), Talib Kweli ("Put It In The Air"), Whitney Houston ("Fine"), Kurupt ("Can't Go Wrong"), Jay-Z ("Justify My Thug"), Xzibit ("Sorry I'm Away So Much"), Ludacris ("Spur of the Moment"), Chingy ("Bagg Up", and "Wurr's My Cash"),Dr. Dre, 2nd II None, Hi-C, Suga Free ("Street Gospel" album and on the "New Testament" album), 8Ball & MJG ("Buck Bounce") and others. Though he formally produced only "Heartz of Men" on 2Pac's masterpiece "All Eyez On Me" album, he went uncredited for work on many other tracks on the album; on that track he used his real name David Blake, because Profile did not allow him to use his stage name. In 2002, he produced Truth Hurts' Top 10 pop hit "Addictive". Quik used an uncleared Hindi sample on the record, and the copyright holders eventually filed a $500 million dollar lawsuit against Truth Hurts' label, Aftermath Entertainment.

Quik faced personal and professional tragedy when his friend and protegé Mausberg was murdered on the 4th of July, 2000. This was compounded by the death of his best friend Daryl Reed soon after.

Following 2000's "Balance and Options" CD he was dropped by Arista Records which in 1998 had bought Profile Records. In September 2005, DJ Quik released his first independent album on his own new label, Mad Science, which was supposed to be distributed by Warner Bros but Quik was forced to let Time Warner and so signed his Mad Science with Fontana/Universal. The album is titled "Trauma" and reflects the turmoil in the producer's life over the past few years. He than released "Trauma: Instrumentals". In recent years he has worked with a 74 piece orchestra during a collaboration with Marcus Miller while working on the score to the movie "Head of State." Over the years, Quik has morphed from a hardcore gangsta rapper to a mainstream producer and rapper who is not afraid to change his style. He has not abandoned his West Coast roots and now produces very much his own unique style.
