Still making albums in a day and 12 still AOTY contender, Heels Have Eyes EP of the year. All with no machine, no fake beefs, no gimmicks, no clickbait, just art\u2026 this been hella of a ride and I did everything my way\u2026 God is the greatest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Dre is yet to respond to Westside Gunn\u2019s comments.<\/p>\n<p>The Buffalo rapper is not the only Hip Hop star to throw some shade Dre\u2019s way of late with <a class=\"underline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/hiphopdx.com\/news\/dj-quik-throws-some-shade-at-dr-dre\/\">DJ Quik making it clear he believes he is deserving of the same kind of recognition<\/a> that his fellow LA native receives.<\/p>\n<p>On X, a fan wrote: \u201cDJ Quik is actually who everyone thinks Dr. Dre is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Quik then responded to the post, commenting: \u201cFinally. Someone had the balls to say it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is not the first time\u00a0<a class=\"underline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/hiphopdx.com\/news\/dj-quik-deserve-to-be-where-dr-dre-is\/\">Quik has put himself on the same pedestal as the NWA co-founder<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Back in 2022, he said: \u201cI know it\u2019s early. But I deserve to be where Dre is. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s fair, but I understand why. I\u2019ve never had a machine behind me, that always hurt my friends more than it did me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cThis doesn\u2019t need to be on a podcast. Because you have fire starters, who want to spin everything to get more ratings. But the truth is: I love Dr. Dre, like a big brother, one I never had. It pains me when people pit us against each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Quik also said: \u201cI know I\u2019ll never be as popular as I need to be, but I have 10s of artists superstars. And when they shine, I just smile. The janitor doesn\u2019t get all the glory, but he keeps the backstage, clean as a triage.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hiphopdx.com\/news\/westside-gunn-rips-dr-dres-album-compton\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Westside Gunn has again ripped into Dr. Dre\u2018s last album Compton.
