However, his flow is crazy and you can definitely tell he's been hittin the treadmill with that type of breath control.The beats are pretty good for the most part. Still don't completely understand the Dre dickriding though. There are better producers out there who don't take years to release product.like who?Kno of Cunninlynguists, Ant from Atmosphere, Sabzi from Blue Scholars/Common Market, Dj Khalil, etc. i can't speak on most of them, but DJ Khalil? lol.his sound is sometimes experimental, but that doesn't necessarily make the final product better.i find it funny that you mention him though, cause he imitates Dre from time to time to me there's no one as consistent as Dre: he's been dropping quality for several years nowKhalil does Dre beats better than Dre does them IMO. And apparently he's not afraid to actually release product to be dissected. Don't get me wrong, it's great that Dre did all of Em's new record minus the 1 but we're talking 10 years now since he's done that. And again, he needs others to make his shit as hot as it is. Just like his lyrics, almost everything is co-written/produced. I personally feel like it's a kick in the balls to Rakim, Joell Ortiz, Bishop and many others, including and, especially the fans, out there who could be doing some thing AMAZING with the production that is supplied. This shit kills me. At the end of the day like so many others, DRE is concerned with making money instead of integrity. i thought we were discussing Dre's work, not the actual person cause i can write pages about that too but the statement that Dre needs other people to make his stuff hot is just bullshit.that's bias right thereHow is that bias? Dre has a whole team with him almost every time he drops something. Co-producers, key players, guitar players, mixers, engineers and so forth. That's a fact. it is bias because you take a subjective argument as a fact.it is a fact that Dre doesn't do everything by himself, but that doesn't mean that he's not the locomotive.you might as well discredit Paris & other producers that work similar as DreQuote from: Okka on May 08, 2009, 05:09:41 AMAye yo Dre-Day, what you think about the beat on "Stay Wide Awake" ?it has a cool vibe, but it's a bit repetitive to me like 3amParis doesn't have an entire squad of people around him. He writes, produces, arranges, performs and mixes almost everything he releases. He also does the photography, cover designs, layout and graphics. However, he has an engineer, Bruce, who also does some guitar work. That's one hell of a difference between the 2.Locomotive? Is that why he never gets anywhere (aka releases anything?) I would say yes. If Dre wasn't such a perfectionist, a lovely euphemism BTW, then he would release something every year. These excuses need to kick rocks.stop looking so deep into the example; you were discrediting Dr.Dre for the fact that he doesn't do everything by himself.i used Paris as an example, just to point out that there's nothing wrong with not doing everything by yourself.also, lol at the sarcasm. why are switching the subject & taking my word out of context?by the way, there's no point in trying to save your face in this conversation.this isn't about who's right or wrong.but i would appreciate it if you just admitted that you're biased about Dr.Drehe may be overrated, but that's another story.I'm discrediting Dre because he does very little himself and yet he gets all the recognition when, in fact, he has a good number of people who make him who he is. And I'm discrediting his fans who only give recognition to Dre himself. And the Paris example is perfect for what I originally said in my 1st post.LOL@ trying to save face. You've got to be kidding me!! I'm one of the few on here who uses logic when I write. And I'm not biased towards Dre. I'm honest. I love some of his work and the guy has an incredible ear for music but that's it. I know of many who have an incredible ear for music though. And it doesn't take them 10 years to produce a record. Not sure what you're trying to accomplish here.

Aye yo Dre-Day, what you think about the beat on "Stay Wide Awake" ?
again, it's not a fact that Dre does very little by himself, you just assume.
