Hard Knock TV caught up with DJ Quik to deliver this insightful interview. In it the legendary producer/rapper talks “bubbles,” which refer to the pockets of success the rap industry has seen since its emergence on the mainstream.

He gives props to the South, Atlanta in particular, revealing that he always felt the city would have its day, discusses his ability to transition and reinvent himself over the years and gangsta rap – or not.

It’s a stigma he’s been trying to change for years and marks 11 years since he himself denounced gangbanging on the “You’z A Ganxta” from the classic album Rhythmalism.
