Definitely not a legend.
Its a shame how when people talk about west coast legends his name almost never gets brought up.
This is why I voted 'Vet'.
Most people would consider him a "West Coast Legend"
When top 50 and goat conversations are being had, his name is never said.
He's a vet.

He's produced classic records on classic albums so that wouldn't make him a legend in of itself? I'm just asking questions.
You can say that about a lot of producers tho. Would you consider Daz a legend?

One classic album under his belt. A part of some classic albums. Part of me wants to say yes but I see what you're doing so imma let you cook. Lol

The thing about being a legend is, you have to have a certain measure of popularity. That doesn't matter when talking about your favorites or who you think is the best, but it does when you use a term like legendary. No offense to Quik, but even amongst West Coast rappers, he's barely mentioned. Let alone, in the wider Hip Hop discussion space. I say vet because of that.
Heās a legend
He produced this classic joint
Hes a legend... This is where I said in the 'what makes a legend' thread, that different artists have different criteria for what makes them legend...
Quik has 3 plat albums and one gold album, so hes got sales figures...
He helped define the sound of the West...
He has classic solo work to his name and hes produced classic tunes for others...
Hes also worked with a who's who from Pac, Snoop, Jay, 50, Xzibit, Game, Luda, Talib to Adina Howard, Janet Jackson, R Kelly, Will Smith and Shaq etc...
He has a legendary diss track in 'Dollars & Sense'...
If you made a compilation of genre defining hip hop tunes for an alien thats just landed on Earth, you would include 'Tonight' and 'Born & Raised In Compton' in there...
He also had 2 dope proteges in Suga Free and Mausberg...
edit: hes also had longevity too...

Daz's name disappeared once death row went to shit
Nyquill don't deserve to be mentioned at all in this discussion.The niggas who are never mentioned in top 50 discussions are voted in easily on here, while niggas like Jada and Cole don't make the cut
Gotta love ABW
