Fredwreck Sounding Like Dr. Dre...
« on: August 17, 2001, 03:54:11 PM »
I've wanted to say this for a while now but I couldn't, but now I'ma say it.  Some peeps may jump at me for this but fuck it, Fredwreck's production style has mutated to that of Dre's on "Space Boogie" in my opinion.  On about 5 of the songs that are laced by Fred you here dre's signature keys & other elements that Dre uses today.  Tracks like "The Hardest Muthafucka," "Bring Back That G Shit," "Lay It On Back" & "Space Boogie" could be mistaken for that of Dre.  Fredwreck now uses the same keys & guitar rifts as Dre.

In his previous songs like "Curious" & "Who Ride Wit Us" was when he had his own sound.  Now I think he's str8 up biting D-R-E.  I hate to trip but I do think the beats he did are tight, but it ain't his style.  Fredwreck should go back to his old bouncy style to the beats he had on "Pleezbaleevit!"  I don't know if it's flat out influence or what but it's better to have a sound of yo own...HOLLA @ ME.

There's no question Fred is bitting Dre's style... but i think it's a good thing because personally i like Fred's new style of beats rather then his work on Doggy's Angels

I like his shit too, guess I can't really hate cause thats the influence Dre has.  The same shit happened after "The Chronic" dropped...every West Coast song sounded like a Dre beat.

i can tell the difference becuase fredwrecks beats arn't mixed as well as a dre track the layers are a little skiwhampes but the instruments are familiar


but i ain't trippin' cuz it's just the chronic all  over again alot of daz's beats are starting to sound like dre's now too

Is Fred biting Dre's srtyle? Yes. Is that a good thing? Yes, because he is outshining Dre at his own style. Fred's work on Space Boogie was alot better than anything Dre has done in the last couple of years. Dre's beats all sound the same and are boring as hell.

Yeah, he is dope, an' it might seem like he's bitting Dre's style but I mean it's flattering 4 Dre, well, it should b flattering, him having all this influence on production styles an' shit.

Take a look at the credits; Dre lends one of his guitarists, Sean Cruse to Fredwreck.  Cruse played guitar on most of the trcks on "2001."

im sure Dre doesnt mind Fred using his style cause like someone said before the whole WEST copied Dre's style when The Chronic dropped...and Fred's production is not better than Dre's so called "sound the same" and boring beats...
