 It's Cool, But Could've Been A Lot BetterMar 25, 2004
By Abel Martinez
"finn21"
I'm a huge Quik fan and this DVD is cool, but it had too much studio footage and too much of the camera following Quik around. And the big dissappointment was that it only had 4 videos. It should've had most if not all of his videos and a better biography of how he got started in the game. So you should only buy this if your a big Quik fan. If not than don't bother.

 Don't Be "Quik" To Judge On This DVD!Apr 26, 2004
By Crazy Jim
He's been in the music industry for close to 15 years. He continues to write, produce, and perform some of the most addictive music in the history of West Coast rap. Still, DJ Quik must fight to gain respect. With his latest project, a full-length DVD movie chronicling his life on tour, in the studio, and all sorts of behind-the-scenes action, Quik aims to shows his fans all of the hard work that goes into making his music. "Visualism" isn't your average "Behind The Music" profile. You'll not only get to hear Quik speak on his life and his career but also get some insight on how he produces his music. There is a lot of very interesting information for all the aspiring producers and musicians out there. "Visualism" not only shows what Quik has been up to but it also introduces you to the line-up of artists who work with him on a regular basis including Hi-C, Suga Free, and AMG. It also has Quik speaking on his departed homeboy, Mausberg, with concert footage of the late rapper as well as video of Quik's tribute to him on tour. Quik also speaks on another deceased rapper, the legendary Tupac Shakur. You'll also see Quik in the studio working with Nate Dogg on the soundtrack for the Chris Rock movie, "Head Of State". You also get a commentary track where Quik speaks on the entire movie. Any true DJ Quik fan will want to own this DVD and if even if you've never heard anything that Quik has put down in the studio, this might convert you. You may want to pick up a few of his albums and get the backstory on his career first though.

 Keep it ComptonJan 28, 2004
By Kriojinik
I'm a long time fan of Quik. This DVD is better than all of the "behind the scenes" hip hop films. Quik is real and doesn't put up a facade for the cameras. He pays strong tribute to his crew and gives love to his fans like he's the fan. D.J. Quik's Visualism is highly entertaining and is one of my favorite DVDs. This is a must have for all fans of Quik, Hi-C, AMG, and Suga Free.

Mad As HellDec 04, 2003
By Not Shamar Moore
If I was DJ Quik, I'd be mad as hell if I knew that Amazon was trying to bundle my DVD with a Crip-Walkin DVD! DJ Quik's a Blood! Amazon should get that changed. For real. Otherwise, DJ Quik is an amazingly talented producer and every "Quik's Groove" on his albums is just a refreshing track to listen to.
