Always been a fan of the dude, really talented musician and one of the best rap/r&b producer
he's a jew?
We all praise him as a genius because of his rap beats but lets face it there is nothing ground breaking in his piano comp. He's not the next beethoven.

He's not the next beethoven.Actually, we mostly all praise Dre for these piano comps.Tieing this into the other thread about Nas having Ghostwriters. What's really the difference between Nas taking credit for words and Dre taking credit for notes?I know and we all know the difference between a producer and a composer, but let's be serious; it is the melodies of the productions that Dre is famous for rather than is production style. If G Thang had Do Re Mi as the main melody rather than the Leon Heywood track then no one would give a shit about how well the track was produced. Storch wrote a hundred or so piano melodies in the late 90s and Dre selected the 9 or 10 best for the 2001 album and related era tracks, and that's Dre's talent, and he should very well be respected for it.So, if you like Nas - Untitled and think it's a great album, you can still praise Nas for picking the verses to rap, assuming they were indeed ghost written.
