Dr. Dre's beats on Kingdom Come

[SlickPants]

trouble is pretty dope, but its nothing spectacular.  his beats on TBCT are better but none of them are spectacular IMO.

i'm not disappointed though, dre is dope but you can't expect him to be amazing all the time.

Just as Storch et als beats sound like they are missing that extra polish without Dre, Dre's beats need that collaboration for variety.

One mind can only think of so much.

[The Watcher]

it seems that the only people that thinks this shit is pure dopeness are me, The Watcher, Dr.Dre and Hova.

[Tha G In Deee]

the shit he's been doin recently hasn't been all that good


but I was impressed with the tracks on Snoop's album

^Yup, the Dre beats on TBCT are crazy, especially "Boss' Life" & "Imagine", "Round Here" is dope but BL & Imagine can't be topped...

[Kaligula]

I"ll agree w/ everyone else that the Dre tracks on Jay's CD are average Dre. But why are people so quick to say dude's fallen off just because everything he does isn't amazing? The shit he did on Snoop's album was crazy, that new Stat Quo track is crazy, the tracks he did on Busta's album were crazy. . .I'm willing to cut dude some slack.

[Darksider]

they basically all sounds the same....yeah..but they are still dope
and trouble is one of the best tracks i heard in long time

[R-Tistic]

didn't Dre give Jay Z aropund 40 beats to choose to from?

not Dre's fault Jigga chose the ordinary ones 

but lets hope he is saving the A Grade material for Detox.

Just a thought I had earlier.....this HAS to be where the rumor came from about Dre doin an entire album for Jay...it HAS to! Somebody must have got the word that Dre sent Jay 25-40 beats, regardless of the actual number...which would lead anybody with sense to think that meant that Dre was doin his whole album.

I am probably 95% sure that there are 4-5 beats better than most of these that Jay didn't chose...for whatever reason, many rappers don't like to chose the best of best beats for all of their songs.

listen to Imagine and lost ones side by side....yall be fucking in love with imagine...but ya'll hating on lost ones?? WTF

LMMFAO....I was JUST saying the same thing....that's just a West Coast board for you. Imagine does have a better concept than Lost Ones..but even the concept isn't as amazing as some of us think.

Obviously the beats for Detox will be dope as fuck (they'll all probably be ghost/co-produced too ). The beats we've heard recently aren't that bad, just nothing innovative or new. The problem everyone expects too much from Dre (which is partically his intent). After 20+ years, I'm surprised a producer can still put out decent beats.

[mackinoz]

when i first heard 30 something...i thought ...sounds liek something from the chronic 2001 ..... then i remembered..."the beat from the up in smoke tour...
seems like dre's either having a co-producer...or re-using samples....speaking of the intro to the up in smoke tour DVd...any1 got a link to download that beat!!!???

Yeah...that makes a LOT of sense. Most of the beats he's puttin out are intended to be album cuts and not major singles. And he's just milkin the 2003-2005 Aftermath sound to death before he changes up for Detox...while still giving hints of what Detox will sound like.

[mackinoz]

damn the producer line up on kingdom come is alot like " doctor's advocate" excluding dr . dre of course

[The Predator]

If Jay-Z really did have 35 beats Dre sent to him to listen to well Jigga man chose some wacky beats.

Or if those beats really were the best that Dre had to offer then thats sad or Dre hustled Jay-Z by sending him Bustas leftovers.

'Lost Ones' is nice though, it sounds tailor made for Jay.

[anony]

Dre def saves the best beats for himself.

maybe hes just testing the waters to see what peeps like
