Finally out the motherfuckin see-p-t
Off to other cities and shit
No longer just an underground hit
Movin thangs... a local nigga made good
And made a name off of making tapes for niggaz in the hood
And now, let me tell a little story
About the places that i been to and the shit that i been through
Like fightin and shootouts and bangin and shit
All because a nigga made a hit, check it
Nineteen-ninety-one, it was double or nothin that a nigga would hit
Then we broke out with the fonky shit
About bitches and niggaz and gettin drunken off that bud
I was doing the shit they hadn't heard of
But foolish was i to think that it wasn't no other cities like this
And that they didn't like this
That compton was the home of a foot in yo ass
Where you got blast
And now that's just a thing of the past
Let me tell ya why firsthand, we did a show up in oak-land
And niggaz was kickin up sand, to them bangin ain't nothin new
And slangin ain't nothin new
And for every nigga we done shot
They done shot two
Straight through and on since the sixties before i was born
Families of young niggaz mourn
So i'm just letting you know
That if ya plan to take a trip to the bay
Keep your hand on the clip
Becaue oakland...
Yeah, i'm telling why'all oakland...
Moving on to st. louis, where thecountry is fucked
With gold teeth int hey mouth, but they still know what's up
Where it's hot as a motherfucker
Hot enough to make ya cuss
That's why i kept my ass on the bus
But later on, whenit cooled off we came down
And met a couple of friends
Who put us up on the st. louis cap
The smith center, with big bob, little steve, tojo, biss and rich
And a couple of bitches
Then they took us to a man named gus in a store
He put me down with a herringbone and shoes galore
That's when i started thinking that this wasn't like home
But then they had to prove me wrong
'cause later that night after we did the show
We went back to the afterset, and wouldn't ya know
Yeah, bloods and crips start scrappin and shootin -- in missouri?
Damn, how could this happen?
Now st. louis...
Yeah why'all, st. louis...
I don't think they know, they too crazy for their own good
They need to stop watchin that "colors" and "boyz in the hood"
Too busy claimin sixties, tryin to be raw
And never ever seen the shaw
But now, back to the story that i'm tellin
We packed up the tour bus one more time and started bailin
When we arrived i saw red and blue sweatsuits
When i'm thinkin bout horse dookey and cowboy boots
I guess texas ain't no different from the rest
And san antonio, was just waitin to put us to the test
And before it was over the shit got deep
A nigga got shot in the face, and was dead in the street
Then they came in the club thinkin of scrappin
Little did they know that we was packin
Yeah, we was puttin em down and squaring the rest, shit
I even had to wear the bulletproof vest
Now san antonio...
Yeah, san antonio...
After a month on the road
We came home and i can safely say
That l.a. is a much better place to stay
How could a bunch of niggaz in a town like this
Have such a big influence on niggaz so far away?
But still my story ain't over 'cause i got one more to tell
And the people of colorado, they know it well
It was all in the news and if you don't remember
I had this show i did in denver
With a punk ass promoter in a bunk ass skating rink
Bitches was loving it, but niggaz was shovin and shit
To the front of the stage to throw their gang signs
But i'm getting paid so i didn't pay it no mind
Then i poured out my brew onto their face and chest
Then they start throwin soda, and fuckin up my guests
When it was over two niggaz needed stitches
Got cracked in they jaw for being punk ass bitches
Now denver...
Yeah why'all, denver...
And ya know that oakland...
Yeah why'all st. louis...
Uh-huh, san antonio...
Yeah, and denver...
I thought ya knew...

Overall Meaning

In DJ Quik's song "Jus Lyke Compton," he raps about his experiences while on tour in various cities. The song is a commentary on how similar the ghettoes of other cities are to Compton, where DJ Quik grew up. The song highlights the violence and gang activity prevalent in different cities, despite their geographical differences. DJ Quik talks about how he and his crew were often caught off-guard by the gang activity, as they assumed that it was unique to Compton. He even warns listeners to be careful if they plan on venturing into the Oakland or San Antonio ghettos.

Rob "Fonksta" Bacon is the one who came up with the bassline and the guitar parts.
Starting on Way 2 Fonky he was Quik's songwriter partner playing on everything that included live instrumentation.
Safe + Sound is where you see most of Bacon and Quik's greatness come to pass.

Gang culture was always around in America, dating back to the rise immigration on the east coast. Cities like NYC, Philly, Chicago, Newark, Boston and other's have been known to be ganglands that helped shape and build those places. Mafia in the 20s-50s was a real era. You had KKK patrolling the South since the slaves got there. They went strong throughout the 40s-70s. Black gangs are more new and this guy is rapping about how it's nothing new under the sun.

I remember when I saw this video on box videos. I was absolutely blown away by Quiks return once again another classic. If u grew up in the 90's you knew Quik took his time & he never put out garbage. When he dropped his album it was basically flawless. Production off the charts. Quik is one of the greatest of times no question.

@hennessyapplejuice8331

4y↑8

Thank You, he was a big deal in hip hop in the 90's but once Dre and Snoop crossed over with their albums and were goin over triple platinum and other artist followed in the late 90's and early 2000's it makes Quik look irrelevant when you go back and look at his albums.His albums were still goin gold which was a big deal back then but once rappers started goin platinum consistently they just brushed off artist goin gold.If Quik had New Yorks support he probably would've been respected more but they didn't like him.Most of his love came from the midwest and south besides the west coast.When his 3rd album dropped he didn't really even go on tour and it still went gold off his name alone that's how popular he was just in the black community.If he would've sold out and tried to be on tv every minute like Snoop was no doubt white people in the suburbs would've bought a majority of his records too

@@jamesduckery5667 Yea that's what i was basically trying to say.A few things set his career back but him stopping touring outside the west was a big part of it.I live in Ohio and remember when his first album dropped and it was huge.I had older cousins who were mid teens go to his concert and skipped school to see him when he arrived at our sports arena earlier that day.Some people was hip to doing that when artist came to town they would go catch them early on when they're checking equipment and all that sound stage stuff.Anyway they met him and said he was cool and they asked him was he a blood and they said he laughed and said what y'all know bout bloods and crips.He also told them he wasn't tryna sound like a after school special but make sure they finish school bcuz it was super important.He knew they obviously were suppose to be in school then but maybe didn't know if they skipped just to meet him or that was a regular thing to skip out.But yea Quik goin around the country he couldn't take his hood with him like he could more on the west where they all jump in cars and follow him so he was more comfortable

Quik might be the most underrated Hip Hop artist just based on the fact how skilled he was both as a producer and emcee. Hes probably the best emcee/producer ever

I find it amusing that the premise of this song/video is that every place he and his crew travels to for tour dates are just like Compton, and then right beneath the video, there's info about his upcoming tour dates. 3+ decades in the game and dude is still crushing it 💪
