Dj Quik feels he deserves the same recognition as Dr. Dre. On Tuesday night (Dec. 6), Quik, 52, took to Twitter to speak his mind about his “big brother,” frankly stating that he “deserves to be where Dre is.” As he continued, the Quik is the Name DJ reassured his fans and followers that his series of tweets wasn’t a “meltdown” but more so him “expressing himself as neutrally” as he could.

“I know it’s early. But I deserve to be where Dre is,” he began his stream of Tweets. “I don’t think it’s fair, but I understand why. I’ve never had a machine behind me, that always hurt my friends more than it did me. My friends have come to me in confidentiality to say ‘Do your music like you want to. Just be DJ Quik! People love that sh*t!'”
