so Jay-Z wrote 'Still Dre', but in return he only got Dre featured on "Watch me"

[Dre-Day]

sounds like a bad deal to me(excluding the financial part off course), to only have Dre on the chorus.
it would have been better if he had at least one Dre produced track on The Life and Times of S. Carter.
yes he got The Watcher part 2, but that was 3 years later.

the beat of Watch Me is ok though.

Thats more than some people get in return from Dre. Then again, its less that some cases. Dre is a weird character - bottom line.

Didn't a Dre/Aftermath Produced track appear on Blueprint 2? "Watcher 2" (prob given to Jigga)
+ The Dre/Aftermath produced track's on Jay's "Kingdom" Come"

sound's like a deal to me.

where is this song from? i forgot

yeah i'm glad that they worked together again on Kingdom Come(fuck Trouble though ).
but with this topic i'm referring to the 2001/ The Life and Times of S. Carter period

The Life and Times of S. Carter

[Okka]

"Watch Me" is a dope song, i was just bumpin that and some other Jay shit yesterday.

Cool track, I Agree.. Irv Gotti & Co. got down with this one.

[LyRiCaL_G]

truthfully, i couldnt give a shit about what dre gave jigga in return because still dre is one of the best hiphop first singles ever for beat, hook, g'd up lyrics and as a track overall. Amazing. What jigga got in return? lol, good question, the shit dre gave him on kingdom come was a failure, jigga needed a bigger sound and dre was still working on a new sound at the time, the timing was all wrong for the two heavyweights to meet up.

As for trouble, just to let y'all know, jigga ripped that joint, the beat was decent too...imo

pz!

[dubsmith_nz]

I reckon Trouble was dope! Minority Report was the illest joint on the album though...

What did Jay get? Prolly a fuck load of money, and got to be part of one of the dopest albums in hip hop history...

Dre had alotta ghost writers, and contributorsthey can't all get something, he ended up getting "Watcher Part 2" so that was all good...

[Muhfukka]

you have to be retarded to sit there and analyze shit like this. jay z wrote a song for dre and dre appeared on jay z's song. WOW

yeah it just depends on how you look at the "exchange".
it's all subjective at the end of the day.

[Let's Get Down]

how do you know he didn't get cash too

[Dre-Day]

how do you know he didn't get cash too

check the first post of this topic, i stated that i'm excluding the financial part

[Let's Get Down]

gotcha...but ain't that good enough?

[Dre-Day]

gotcha...but ain't that good enough?

for Jay-Z, probably 
but not for me 
i would have liked to see a Dre track on The Life and Times of S. Carter

then again, i'm not aware of any leftover material of the album.
anyone?
