Dre defines mic presence

[⠀]

Bar that slip and fall that was the bandwagon jumping atrocity called Compton Dre's mic presence is impeccable, he just stomps all over the track with effortless ease and has such a great flow to boot.

Was just listening to 3 Kingz with Ross and Jay and those two know their way around the booth and Dre is just on a whole nother level, also damn this beat is crispy.

You know that other people actually write and record Dre's verses and then he re-records them? So it's not really his flow.

Finally somebody recognizing Dre's perfection behind the mic.  Dre is indisputably the greatest producer ever, but people forget how dope he has always been behind the mic.  The lyrics are always impeccable (of course he doesn't write a lot of his lyrics) and his mic presence is as good as any rapper in the game.

Imagine if Dre really was the one writing all those verses he rapped?  We would be talking about a top 5 rapper and one of the greatest rappers/writers that ever did it.

Dre not even a rapper, he just a perfectionist .. So whether it be rappin, producing, engineering....anythin he touches will be as close to perfection as imaginable .. Not even an emcee but taught eazy how to maximize his abilities on the mic. It's all in the ear.

Of course, as is illustrated perfectly by Compton but theres a difference between flowing and reciting words and Dre definitely flows. Put it this way if the reference track for Still Dre leaked with Jay on lead vocals you think it would hold a candle to what Dre did with them words?

No doubt, whether its putting his finish touches to someone elses beat or reciting someone elses lyrics Dre arguably does it better than the one who created it. Its hard to find a Dre track where he doesn't sound dope as he's such a perfectionist but visionary with it as he sees what he wants and then keeps chipping away at reality to create it. If he were to write his own lyrics though, wow you'd be looking at an all round artist of the highest calibre. I wonder why he never pushed his own pen?

Agreed, it all goes back to his visionary skills. Some folks start with a click track and make a beat, Dre has a symphony in his head and then works backwards to make it appear on the track. Same with his performances you can tell he runs through them a million times in head (and then probably a million more on the track in real life) in order to get them perfect. Plus there is no doubt that he's got the ear, I mean I was just relistening to Niggaz 4 Life and wow not only were the beats on a whole nother level but they had some real spitters in that group and not one of them came close to outshining Dre.

Lets give it up for Dre

I'm sure Puffy and a lot of other rappers have people pre-record for them and they can't even hold a candle to Dre.  Like the threadstarter said, if we could find Jay-Z's pre-recorded vocals, you could really realize just how much Dre's mic presence enhances a song.  There was even an interview that said as much, it was with some cat like Ben Baller or someone who had heard Jay's reference vocals and he was talking about just how much Dre elevated it.
