DJ Quik Comments on Dre, Detox & Rakim

“I was just listening to some Dr. Dre music recently, and it hit me so hard that I got emotional about it,” Quik says of his preview of Detox. “Then I had to think to myself, ‘Well, what else would I expect from Dr. Dre?’” Catching himself before he could give any concrete details, Quik added, “I can’t talk about Detox no more. But I’m so excited for y’all to hear it that I can’t fuckin’ wait.”

Quik was a bit more forthcoming when questioned about former Aftermath signee, Rakim. He neither confirmed nor denied rumors that he flew to New York to lay down some new music with Rakim Allah, but he seemed to have some inside information about recent work with one of Hip Hop's greatest emcees of all time.

“He also keeps to himself a lot, and he doesn’t party out like that,” Quik noted. “When he writes, he writes seriously. I got a chance to listen to his new stuff recently, and he still sounds like Rakim. He’s still that guy with or without a new record. So, I’m giving him his time, and when he wanna fuck with me I’ma be ready. Just know when he calls, Sergeant is gone be ready.”
