Dr. Dre had his Crew (N.W.A.), Ice-T had his Crew (Rhyme Syndicate), Cypress Hill had their Crew (Soul Assassins), and DJ Quik had his Crew. AMG, 2nd II None and Hi-C were the Dudes who Quik came up with and eventually put on. They are also the MC's who Quik started out with making Underground Tapes in the late 80's. The Red Tape is one of those Tapes. Not only is The Red Tape what DJ Quik got his Record Deal off of, but it was also responsible for setting off his Beef with MC Eiht of Compton's Most Wanted due to the song "Real Doe". The fact that Quik was a Blood and Eiht was a Crip didn't help matters either. The Tape featured Quik's hit "Born And Raised In Compton" as well as a bunch of Lyrics that would eventually end up on Official Releases by the Crew.
The Red Tape is the most popular of DJ Quik's Underground Tapes and it supposedly came out in 1987. In fact Quik's overall Production Sound on The Red Tape sounds nothing like anything sounded in 1987. Either Quik was WAY ahead of his time, or The Red Tape was recorded in 1989/90 at the earliest. Either way, this tape is dope and a rare Classic Piece of Rap History.
