Back in June, DJ Quik hinted that one of his fellow Compton rappers would have to square up with him in a court of law over a lack of royalties and whatever else.
The cat’s out the bag: it’s YG.
Late last night (August 7), the veteran rap/producer once again took to his favorite platform of Twitter and aired out his grievances in disorderly fashion. The track in question is “My Nigga” (a.k.a. its clean version “My Hitta”), the 2013 platinum-selling lead single featuring Jeezy and Rich Homie Quan from YG’s debut, My Krazy Life.
“Y’all had me engineer and record My Nigga for @YG and did not give me credit. My Lawyer has You [in] HIS sights. You’ve fucked up,” Quik tweeted, flaming Stampede Management, the management company for Snoop Dogg that also works with the mayor of Bompton, RiFF RAFF, Macy Gray and others.
Quik, 46, also directed some vitriol at YG’s big CTE homie Jeezy writing, “Shoot me my engineering credits for stemming and recording vocals on your platinum song My Hitta or whatever u call it,” before adding “and shoot my Platinum plaque to: Dj Quik.”
The credits for the record in the booklet of the Def Jam release make no mention of Quik or his government name, David Blake. Engineers Dee Brown, Zane Shoemake and James Royo are credited as the ones who recorded the song.

As for YG, he received a more personal shot: “Be safe on the block I invented,” which preceded the stern warning, “You don’t FUCK with Dj Quik.”
Both YG and Quik are affiliated with the Tree Top Piru Bloods — a couple of generations removed. Quik once proclaimed he was the “first nigga ‘bangin’ on wax'” thanks in part to his 1987 underground mixtapes, which is a cool three years before YG was even born.
Never one to back down from anybody, YG responded to Quik’s rant with a “Fuck the police” tweet, which, if nothing else, let him know he heard him loud and clear.
Quik has since deleted his Twitter outburst but he did create a video message captioned with “Run me my money. #UbitchU” while telling whomever it may concern, “Don’t play with grown folks.” HipHopDX also reached out to Stampede Management but our request for comment has not been returned as of press time.
Check out the social media tirade from Quik as well as YG’s response down below.
I Wonder now who got YG capped outside the studio?…jus sayin
Quick has been playing the BS credits for albums for a minute. He should have just hollered at YG. I remember when Dr. Dre was credited for that Truth Hurts track, when he was sued for the sample it came out that Quick did it. Problem and YG have beef. Not only on the Palmer Blocc Crips vs. Tree Top Piru Bloods Compton shit, but also because Problem jumped DJ mustard like a bitch because mustard said his prices for beats went up, rightfully so. Quick then did an album with Problem. Man up Quick. Let your lawyers do the talking. You are a grown ass man.
lol you simple minds think everything is so simple. quik hollering at YG would do nothing. yg is signed to the label. he has no ability to do anything. quik needs to follow up with the label
its not that simple homie. yg is signed to a label…quik hollering at yg will do nothing. the label owes him the money and needs to credit him
Damn…I almost rather not hear about all this. But it’s intersting still. Just should’ve probably not been aired out over Twitter. But hey, that’s what social media is for. Damn what conflicting statements I’m making LOL
Is these thee same Quick thatthat eight?he music is p he no slow?
huh?
Don’t talk gangsta and then say sue in the same sentence my nigga.. ok say he wants to get paid for engineering one song.. even at the best studios that can’t be more than $100 am hour. It’s not like quik relevant. so give him a stack his credit and move on.. no platinum plaque tho.. he didn’t make the beat or write the shit he just recorded it..
Any proof he didn’t write, record or contribute vocals?
Get this dude his well deserved plaque.
Grab YG then toot and boot his ass to the moon!
Give the man his credit and everything else it comes with. DJ Quik is not some green, new dude fresh outta full sail recording academy trying to get his feet wet. The trolls of today can say he’s irrelevant and or salty but everybody wants to get compensated for their services. The social media game is wack because the bystanders online just want to see blood (no pun intended) in the water but dont care how the aftermath can bubble over into a bs beef. YG and Quik are from the same hood and should be able to resolve the issue without it escalating.
dirty dirt? That you?
DJ Quick a bitch Fuck that nigga YG a real Nigga on tree top piru!
What?????????? The mind is a terrible thing
to waste.
