Quik is also a music aficionado. He’s sampled some diverse material over the course of eight studio albums, dating back to 1991: from Angela Bofill to John Travolta and Jim Jacobs on The Book of David alone.

Which is why there’s no better person to interrogate at his local record shop: Amoeba Music in Hollywood. Watch the video and find out what’s inside of DJ Quik’s bag.

In honor of the release of Beats, Rhymes and Life, California’s Amoeba Records has put together a special edition of their “What’s In My Bag?” video series with the film’s director, Michael Rapaport, and its music supervisor, Stones Throw impresario Peanut Butter Wolf. This is definitely worth the seven minutes as they weave their way through the Tribe catalogue, talk Busta Rhymes, digress into Jazz, Funk and Soul, and eventually come back to the history of music documentaries. Definitely makes you want to go shopping.
