There's just a general confusion over what a producer is.

People still think that Dre makes the beats himself. He has a band of musicians that's in his control. In the Death Row days he had Warren G, Daz, J.Flexx, Sam Sneed and others, when he was workin' on "2001" he had Mel-Man, Scott Storch, Mike Elizondo and others. It's the truth and the truth hurts some people.
this is basically the same exact thread NIK made a few months back
The.Ultimate.Pianist where's that 50 Cent GIF from?
Yes. In most cases, dre doesnt necessarily play the instruments, he is more of a musical director. He leads the musicians to create a sound he wants.

The problem with rap is people fixate on who made the beat when it ain't really that important or at least, it's not the whole aspect of what being a producer is. For me, a greater discussion that kind of came and went without a whole lot of attention was that Crooked I freestyle track on that Death Row boxset that was credited as "produced by Dr. Dre". There to me was borderline false advertising. I can accept Dre as a credited producer on a track if he takes someone beat and adds his own layers to it, constructs the chorus, has a hand in either coaching the rapper or twisting the acapella, and puts his creative stamp of approval on the finished product. I don't think if a rapper takes a Dre instrumental and rhymes over it, that it's produced by Dre. I'd venture to argue Dre had little to do with "Dogg Food". He obviously influenced it but by 1995, the basic concensious was Dre was not as heavily involved with Death Row as he once was. Outside of the well-documented issues from that time of Dre mostly working at his own in-house studio, there was a very visible creative shift around 1994 or so were the projects were moving in a much different direction. D.O.C. and RBX were gone. The projects that were coming out at that time were good but "Murder Was The Case" and "Above The Rim" were clearly not entirely overseen by Dre. I'm sure Dre was coaching Daz quite a bit at this point but "Dogg Food" is not a Dr. Dre-helmed project anymore than "All Eyez On Me" is. As for the topic itself, there was a nearly-identical thread like two months ago. The West really needs more going on. We're still talking about albums from 1992-97 and the discussion is just redudant.

if were talkin about albums from years ago....isnt that a good thing that were talkin about albums from that long ago?classic, dope albums, dope muzik....why not discuss it?
Yeah yeah, it WAS Dre. Anyway, when the hell is Dre gonna produce his own damn record?! I swear, Dre's gonna die before he finishes Detox. And his will is going to read that he never wants it released. Talk about "forgot about Dre"..... that shit is literal now.
