In a clip of the old Arsenio Hall show, NWA was performing that night, and Dre was the one talking about it...so it would seem to me that he had done something on it..here it is on youtube.com

I'm not saying that Dr. Dre producing for it wasn't the original plan, or that it wasn't discussed. I'm just saying that it's my personal opinion that he probably never ended up completing any tracks for it before he left for Death Row. When Dr. Dre was still on the label, I'm sure it was the plan, very early on, that he would produce the album. Eazy would have been crazy to not use him while he was on the Record label, but I dout that whatever few tracks were completed were produced by Dr. Dre. Dj Quik is a possiblity because his group "Penthouse Player's Clique" were signed to Ruthless around that time. Their album was released in 1992 which would have probably been the time when Eazy was recording tracks for it. I'm guessing other production probably was handled by Big Hutch aka Cold 187, Bobcat, Naughty By Nature, Dj Yella, and maybe Homicide (especially if I'm right about that "Black Nigga Killa" track.) Rhythm D started producing for Ruthless right after Eazy dropped the "5150" Maxi-Single, but I doubt he produced anything for it, because I'm pretty sure he went right to work on "It's On Dr. Dre, 187Um Killa."

Nah Dre DID produce this album. I don't know how much of it was completed but they were working on it while working on Niggaz4Life. Dre menchions it real quik on this clip. It's a behind the scence of 100miles & runnin video from YO MTV Raps.

But the reason I say Dre had worked on it is because a few years ago there was an interview with The D.O.C. where he talked about it. He was asked what his favorite Dre material was. And he said his favorite's were the one's he had done with Eazy for Temporary Insanity. My guess is when Dre left he took them with him. Eazy still had plans to finish the record and recorded traks for it but the whole beef with Dre blew up and he switched to that. . .

Well, we know none of the tracks that were released on 5150: Home for the Sick were produced by Dre, and they were all intened to be included in "Temporary Insanity." But again, I'm not saying that Dre wasn't at all involved in producing this album. If they were hyping it while NWA was still together then Dre would have obviously been involved in some capacity. But what I'm saying is, Dre definately did not produce the entire album. And it's likely that if he did any production for the album, most of the tracks would have been incomplete (either lacking Eazy's vocals or not even a completed instrumental). I'm not saying they all would be but probably most. And while I can't say this for a fact, I think it's safe to assume that in all likelihood Eazy would have also had his same in-house producers that worked on "5150" also work on other tracks for the album. And there was also probably a good chance that Naughty By Nature, Bobcat, and in my opinion Homicide may have also contributed tracks as they were also producing for Eazy-E. Likewise with Quik because his group The P.P.C. were signed to Ruthless at the time.
