1. Dr.Dre (with) Mel-Man

Dre & Mel aren't the duo they use to be. Now a days, they rarely co-produce, as Mel-Man has done many solo tracks like "Dogg Named Snoop," "Benefit Of The Dobut," "No" and "Bounce." Dre too, most of his latest work has been solo. I think the last time they did a track together was, "Sally." They didn't do anything together in 2001 besides that. Dre co-produced with Mike Elizondo and Scott Storch a few times, but the rest if was Dre solo on "Scorpion," "Devil's Night," "Family Affair," "Str8 West Coast," "Genesis," "Hate In Yo Eyes" and "Lookin At You." The last time they really worked together on a whole album was "The Marshall Mathers LP" I'm sure on "Detox" or Em's next album they will reunite. Peace.

Yeah, and MelMan did that "I pledge allegiance" alone too. But when they do hook up, its pure magic. Dre always got a right-hand in the studio, and also he overlookin much of his protege's work, you'll often see that Dre mixes his protege's songs. He overlooks all of Snoops producers, Wreck, Roll, B'cat, Wells, and he also uses Storch very much as right-hand. I wonder if Michael Elizondo will produce on his own soon, or just continue workin with Dre. Dre overlooks Eminem too, so Dre's formin' a army of producers, and if they do good, they can be Dre's Next.N.I.C, while Dre be the H.N.I.C. of the whole shit. So when Dre one day retires, you'll have Scott Storch, Fred Wreck & maybe others ready to take over the heritage, bringin the Dre-sound further, or if not further, then at least on.

The only time Mike Elizondo has produced was with Dre, where he co-produced, "Hennessey & Buddah," "True Lies," "Lay Low" and "Your Wife." I never heard him do a solo track...yet. I know he will eventually form his own label and start producing on his own with the help of Dre.
