If you like Primo more than any other producer, then more power to you, but don't group Dre with the Swizz beats and the Neptunes and call him uninspired.
dj premier can hardly be called a producer
dre doesn't make POP songs, those songs are more of a mel man influence if anything
dre doesn't make POP songs, those songs are more of a mel man influence if anything...hell probably the best producer living today all he ever did was pop songs , Quincy Jonesi don't have nothing against premier i love his work, but please thi whole post is pretty ignorant and you need to take some musical appreciation, musical production, and UNC certified college corses (which i'm doing ) to understand what i'm talking aboutand if you want to talk about INNOVATIVE!? dj premier has been using the EXACT saome style for 12 years now and , dre has changed the whole musical landscape HOW MANY TIMES??!! ....the fuck outta here.....straight up dr. dre is the quincy jones of this mutha fucka best that ever done it.....and i got LEGANDARY musical producers that back me up on that statment as well
this is how premier makes a beat he flips through his many many many many many many many many crates of lp's and 45's and listens to specific parts of beats from old soul and r&b albums that he enjoys the equivilant of one of us listening to the chronic or doggystyle and picking our favorite drum, bass, ect. ...layers of melody then he processes them (or however sample machines work) through a sample machine and takes the melodies he likes and sits down and mixes them together, like he'll use 2 second of bass line from an isley brothers tune and loop that, a section of a drum pattern from an old marvyn gaye tune, and put that on loop, then with his turntables add some scratches with a voice repeating something , like on 2nd childhood. a VERY easy, simple and quick formula , once in a while he'll throw in a new 5 key piano loop that he concocted , or use hit a snare and bass head on the drums or drum machine but other than that he doen't write any original composistions.....i'm sorry but no matter what the linear notes say on a cd credit...that's not producing that's DJ'ing
