SHOOTOUT 11: DJ Quik
<p>After the England football team ignominiously crashed out of the 2026 World Cup at the hands of Argentina, Danny and Larry were summoned at short notice by the FA and the Prime Minister to carry out an emergency hip-hop podcast to lift the mood of the nation.</p><p>So with heavy hearts and an overwhelming sense of responsibility we stepped into the breach with one simple instruction from the FA – <strong>discover the very best DJ Quik production</strong>.</p><p>Few producers have shaped the sound of West Coast hip hop like DJ Quik. Emerging from Compton in the early 1990s, Quik built a reputation as a gifted rapper, producer and engineer, blending G-funk with live instrumentation, funk, soul and jazz into a rich, unmistakable sound. </p><p>Beyond his own acclaimed albums, his production work has influenced generations of artists across hip hop and R&B, cementing his reputation as one of the genre's greatest musical minds.</p><p>In this special tournament episode, we dive deep into Quik's catalogue as 16 of his finest productions battle for the trophy. Drawn from the hat and pitted against each other in a series of one-on-one ties, they fight their way through the round of 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals before one track is crowned champion.</p><p>There’s no Steve for this one, but as ever we're joined by our celebrity VAR panel to scrutinise our hottest takes and make sure every decision is Safe + Sound.

EXTRA TIME #3: Daz & Warren G
<p>At the climax of our <strong>VERSUS SHOOTOUT</strong> between <strong>Daz Dillinger</strong> and <strong>Warren G</strong>, the referee added a whopping 25 minutes of extra time after two hydration breaks and a nasty moment when <strong>Nate Dogg</strong> made some bodies turn cold.</p><p>So, never ones to short-change their loyal listeners, Danny, Larry and Steve pull up their socks, slather lashings of Deep Heat onto the vital areas and lumber back over the touchline to fill that 25 minutes with more robust hip-hop discourse. </p><p>And what a 25 minutes it is. We dive deeper into the discographies of these two Long Beach legends in <strong>Winner Stays On</strong>, tackle big philosophical dilemmas in <strong>What’s The Scenario</strong> and probe Larry and Steve’s minds with a series of fiendish questions in <strong>That’s The Real Quiz</strong>. </p><p>Enjoy this bonus episode and be sure to let us know what you think on social media (<strong>@hiphopworldcup</strong>) or simply come and see us in person at the Eastside Motel – we’ll be there all night.</p><p><strong>JOIN OUR PATREON!</strong></p><p>Sign up to our Champions Tier on Patreon and access exclusive bonus content:</p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/cw/HipHopWorldCup" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.patreon.com/cw/HipHopWorldCup</a></p><p><strong>ALL PREVIOUS EPISODES AVAILABLE NOW ON YOUR PODCAST APP OF CHOICE: </strong></p><p>Apple Podcasts: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hip-hop-world-cup/id1589610632" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hip-hop-world-cup/id1589610632</a> </p><p>Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/6aBAonIjzVh1zr27q733yK" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://open.spotify.com/show/6aBAonIjzVh1zr27q733yK</a></p><p>Please rate and review Hip-Hop World Cup on Apple or your podcast app of choice, which will help raise our visibility and give the podcast ‘mass appeal’.</p><p><strong>WEBSITE</strong></p><p><a href="https://hiphopworldcup.podview.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://hiphopworldcup.podview.com/</a></p><p><strong>SOCIAL MEDIA</strong></p><p>Follow and holler at us on social media to share your thoughts on the episode or talk 90s hip-hop in general: </p><p>Instagram, X, Threads and Bluesky: @hiphopworldcup </p><p>Beats and stings by Danny Phillips: <a href="https://soundcloud.com/dannyphillips1978" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://soundcloud.com/dannyphillips1978</a></p>

SHOOTOUT 10: Daz vs Warren G
<p>In this episode, we’re at the SoFi Stadium in LA to witness a Long Beach G-Funk <strong>SHOOTOUT </strong>between rapper/producers <strong>DAZ DILLINGER</strong> and <strong>WARREN G</strong>.</p><p>With the 2026 World Cup in full swing, what better what to celebrate than a good old-fashioned hip-hop penalty shootout between two West Coast legends?</p><p>On one side is Tha Dogg Pound general, Death Row producer and architect behind some of the hardest West Coast classics. On the other is the smooth-talking Regulator whose laid-back flow, melodic production and Nate Dogg-assisted anthems helped take G-funk global. </p><p>From Dogg Food to Regulate… G Funk Era and beyond, we’re putting catalogues, impact, verses, beats and legacy under the spotlight. We’ve picked five tracks from each artist, which are drawn against each other at random and we use the three-main vote to decide who wins each tie. </p><p>Like the real World Cup, this podcast has three hosts – Danny, Larry and Steve – who keep the matches moving with insightful, incisive commentary, backed by some of the biggest names in British football. </p><p>So who’ll keep their nerve from the spot and plant it top bins? Who’ll shank it into Row Z? Listen to find out! </p><p><strong>TRACKS</strong></p><p><strong>DAZ</strong></p><ol><li>Tha Dogg Pound – Let’s Play House</li><li>Tha Dogg Pound – Big Pimpin’</li><li>Nate Dogg – One More Day</li><li>Dr Dre – Let Me Ride (Daz Remix)</li><li>Snoop Doggy Dogg – Downtown Assassins</li></ol><p><strong>WARREN G</strong></p><ol><li>Warren G – Do You See</li><li>Warren G – This DJ</li><li>Twinz – Sorry I Kept You</li><li>Mista Grimm – Indo Smoke</li><li>Thug Life – How Long Will They Mourn Me?</li></ol><p><strong>SHOOTOUT SPOTIFY PLAYLIST (Daz vs Warren G)</strong></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4O0Ew4agGUAjOyPIBubvzS?si=dRXFrfztTDSOwbQ-LhiQJw" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4O0Ew4agGUAjOyPIBubvzS?si=dRXFrfztTDSOwbQ-LhiQJw</a></p><p><strong>WEBSITE</strong> </p><p><a href="https://hiphopworldcup.podview.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://hiphopworldcup.podview.com</a></p><p><strong>JOIN OUR PATREON!</strong></p><p>Sign up to our Champions Tier on Patreon and access exclusive bonus content:</p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/cw/HipHopWorldCup" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.patreon.com/cw/HipHopWorldCup</a></p><p><strong>ALL PREVIOUS EPISODES AVAILABLE NOW ON YOUR PODCAST APP OF CHOICE</strong></p><p>Apple Podcasts: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hip-hop-world-cup/id1589610632" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hip-hop-world-cup/id1589610632</a></p><p>Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/6aBAonIjzVh1zr27q733yK" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://open.spotify.com/show/6aBAonIjzVh1zr27q733yK</a></p><p>Please rate and review Hip-Hop World Cup on Apple, Spotify or your podcast app of choice, which will help raise our visibility and give the podcast ‘mass appeal’.</p><p><strong>SOCIAL MEDIA</strong></p><p>Follow and holler at us on social media to share your thoughts on the episode or talk 90s hip-hop in general:</p><p>Instagram, X, Threads and Bluesky: @hiphopworldcup</p><p>Beats and stings by Danny Phillips: <a href="https://soundcloud.com/dannyphillips1978" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://soundcloud.com/dannyphillips1978</a></p>
