Fredwreck or Battlecat? (99-01 era)

[WILL-I-DIE]

both of them

[Paul]

Battlecat! cant fuck with shit like Dollaz Drank & Dank, Gd Up, Back Up Hoe, alll his shit!

my thoughts exactly.  Battlecat is definitely right behind Quik and Dre as best West Coast producer of all time.  I think Fred Wreck is tight as hell too, but he seems very overrated by this forum.  Not because everyone loves his beats, because they are awesome, but does he really have that big of a body of work to be compared to Battlecat?  He seems to not be around too much, so I don't see how his name keeps coming up on the "producers of all time" threads.

BTW, to the other poster, the best Fred Wreck beat IMO is "On Onsite" by Kurupt.  That shit is crazy.

on onsite is on some crazy shit, unbeliveable beat, a song when the first time a heard a was blown bk

[--Vance--]

hard question!! Fred Wreck had some crazy shit like "On Site" by Kurupt... but on the other side ther is "G'd Up"

Fuck it... Can't decide it... both were dope!!

DJ Battlecat was on some next level shit at that time. Cat, Dre and Quik were all on one. Dre and Quik produced some brilliant albums during that time, but it was Cat who was literally dropping anthem after anthem.

1998 WC - Just Clownin' 
1998 Kurupt - We Can Freak It 
1999 Tash - Gz is Gz 
1999 Eastsidaz - G'd Up 
2000 Lucy Pearl - All About You 
2000 E40 - Nah Nah 
2000 Mr Short Khop - Dollaz Drank and Dank 
2001 Eastsidaz - I Luv It 

I'm sure I forgot a couple, plus he had other bangers on the Eastsidaz albums that I left out. Battlecat was guaranteed to give you an anthem back then. His shit was unfuckwittable.

Gotta go with Cat... Can't trip on FredWreck though.. Dudes a monster.. that IZUWITIT on Tray Deee's General album was ridicuous!!

[R-Tistic]

Y'all are right...Battlecat definitely takes it, but Fred did come with some complete heaters in that time. "On on site" is his dopest beat to me....with beats like "Let's all Roll" and "Callin out names" right behind. I don't even know if there is one single beat I like from Battlecat more than "On on site"...but Battlecat did sooo many other songs that were nearly as dope, and some were better as songs. Juronimo basically posted the exact same beats I'd pick from Battlecat that were just dope as hell.

If you don't count Rhythmalism....I'd take Battlecat over Quik from 99-01.

Battlecat

that's the era I liked the best for production

he had such good wasted tracks on that Doggy's Angels album

Snoop shoulda never done DA and used those beats (including Fredwreck's) for other projects

If you don't count Rhythmalism....I'd take Battlecat over Quik from 99-01.

I know what you mean, Battlecat came with so much during that time

but then again those were also a few of Quik's prime years

throw "Classic 220" in there and it shows what a hot streak he was on


somebody needs to do a list of Battlecat, Fredwreck, and Quik production from 99-01, I'm curious about the comparisons

Never heard bakc up hoe so if soemone could hook me up that would be dope. As far as the other jams you mentionned dollaz,drank and dank was and is one of my favorite tracks of all time and to me realy illustrates the west. Gd up= dope. ONe beat i realy liked from battlecat i never see mentionned ( maybe because the album its on ) is baby if youre ready from doggys angel...that beta is banging.

I got endless respect for Battlecat, but sometimes his beats are a hit or miss with me. Fredwreck is that dude though, his beats are on some next level shit. I loved the stuff he did on Space Boogie and some other DPG related projects. I'm going with Fred, just cuz personally I seem to feel everything he drops one way or another.

[BIGG-A]

Battlecat, but hard choice
