Quik also needs to be mentioned when it comes to masters of the sonics/engineering/mixing side of things. Right up there with Dre and generally on a much lower budget.
Didn't Dre mix one of Jay-Z's entire records?
Why should Dre be given production credit anyway for mixing a record? Jimmy Douglass doesnt get credit for mixing all of Timbalands productions, and Guru doesnt get production credit for mixing all of Roc A Fellas productions. They get credit as a MIXER, as do all other mixing engineers, which is what Dre should get, not producer credits

Anyone who knows anything about music production know that when you mix a track (check: not producing, composing, writing the music etc) you get credit for MIXING the track.I can't believe you people need to be spoonfed information like this.
Mixing, in my opinion, has been one thing through out Dre's career that has been flawless.

You can't fault a Dr. Dre mix for a record in making it sound sonically damn near perfect. BUT, let me just say that I believe Quik's Rhythm-al-ism is the best 'sounding' record that I've ever heard. Even though it's from '98 or whatever, it still sounds perfectly crisp and clear in comparison to many other records released today. Quik had a brilliant mix with that record. That and 2001 are the two best mixed in my opinion.

I'm guessing this was either a type-o on your part or you misunderstand what production credit is. If Dre mixes down a record, he shouldn't be credited as a producer but should get the rightful credit for the mixing.
