      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 Před 7 měsíci

      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.

    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.
