i think hip hop fans have traditionally had a twisted view of what a producer actually does, myself included until i learned and read up about it. A producer oversees the whole making of a song from start to finish. He organizes the musicians, says what direction the song will take, often has a say in the theme of the song etc and is present in the studio to direct the vocalists. Then they are responsible for the sequencing of the track and shit like that. In any form of music, the producer very rarely plays the instruments. if you look at the Red Hot Chili Peppers last record for instance, the group play all the instruments themselves, but Rick Rubin produced the album.So basically, the producer directs and oversees the song, which involves a lot more than just making a beat. Hope that clears it up.
Nah, man, what's lame is that you don't know what a producer is, then slam one of the true ones in rap. Producer: See Quincy Jones, that's all I gotta say. A producer PRODUCES the record, he makes it happen, gets it done. That doesn't mean he plays all the instruments, what you crazy?
Dre doesnt produce shit. he cant do a beat without help from people. Scott Storch was making all those hits a couple of years ago now and dre was taking all the credit. Now Mike Elizando does all the work for him.
I mean look @ songs like "If I Can't" on 50's album.....It says Produced by Dre.....but then it says Keyboards, Drums & Bass by: Mike Elizondo.....I mean wtf? Producing is making a beat.....It is VERY different than mixing tha beat.....I just don't get what dre actually does.....shit is lame.
ive been bringin this up for a while...dre has ghost producers...hes had ghost producers his whole career...thats why Daz dissed him...J.Flexx too...Mel Man does most his beats...and so does Mike Elizondo n Scott Storch...JD was right..."i know u do half the work in the studio"...i dont check eminems credits but according to Evidence hes the same way...
Fredwreck has been producin a long time...he came up on his own...he only recently started gettin down wit Dre...and i dont see how usin a ghost producer makes u better than anyone...Dre does as little as possible it seems but gets all credit...doesnt write his own rhymes...hardly does his beats...fuck what does dre do?!
