Quote from: Malibu's Most Wanted KILLA on November 10, 2009, 05:47:21 PM^^^right, cause having Dre's name on the hit single wouldn't help it sell right? Why the hell was Cali Love the first single of 2Pac's album?Dre was w/o a doubt, hands down, the number 1 westcoast producer when he was at DR. His name sold records. Everyone in charge at DR and Interscope would have marketed the fucking hell out of Dre as a producer if he had actually produced.Shit, Suge even advertised the dogg pound 2002 album with the Dr Dre remix as the first single even though in the credits it lists Big Hutch! Dr. Dre sells records!There is no fucking insider agreements between Dre and Daz...it goes way beyond them. They have to please the record exec's like Jimmy Iovine. If Dre produced on that album, you can sure as shit believe that Jimmy Iovine along w/ Suge, would have marketed the hell out of it w/ Dre's name on it.I dont think u get what I'm saying...a big part of it coulda been them tryna market Daz as the next big Death Row producer, so that they could have 2 elite producers under their label and not just one. they may have assumed that they could build up Daz to Dre status by doing that, thus selling even more records in the future..it's a pretty simple concept and it has been used in the past. not saying it's what happened, but you shooting down the possibility based on marketing purposes is pretty ridiculous.

Its not ridiculous at all...your logic is ridiculous. DJ Pooh produced both Smooth and NY, NY. Smooth was the original first single of the album, and NY NY ended up being the 2nd single. So that basically throws your entire theory out the window. If they were trying to market and make Daz the next big producer, then why have DJ Pooh produced singles?
i think quik had his hands in dogg food...kuz david blake is in the notes..
Only thing that sounds Dre influenced to me is Let's Play House, the drums especially. but that could just be the drums only, not the production.or, how bout you just ask Daz? dude livestreams every now and then.
i feel you but if i had to go on what my ear says, Daz' production on dogg food, while dre influenced, doesn't sound like the handiwork of dr.dre except maaaaaybe let's play house and even that is tenuous speculation. daz's shit has a more metered, programmed sound. I am pretty familiar with Daz's work and it is consistent with how he would continue to sound for the next decade...-T

And if he did, they may have intentionally not credited him for it because of the Ruthless drama. I say that because I believe at that point that Eazy was still owed some of any Dre related royalties from Ruthless. "Dre Day make Eazy pay day."
