I've heard few stories of producers who wind up in a studio and don't know whether they are there to be the producer or the engineer. It's usually some guy on the production team who had a good idea or sound that the producer went with who suddenly thinks that means he's entitled to a larger credit. In the case of this scenario, Quik isn't even trying to claim credit for producing it. He's saying he had some sounds and Dre incorporated them into the record. If it's grey, it's because people are reading it that way. If the head chef incorporates some of his apprentice's flavors into the ingredients, it's still his recipe.
niggas is gettin their jimmies rustled in this thread.
lets say if my dude that raps is in the lab with me and he has an idea like, damn you should loop "such and such" and throw some hard drums on it and i do it and it sounds good im gonna give my dude co production credit.to not give that man some kind of recognition is unprofessional. off topic but semi related niggas be actually submitting there beats to other producers which is imo the dumbest thing in the world...theres stories of dumb ass white kids from the netherlands who sent just blaze a beat loop and he turned it into a hit and that kids hopes and dreams are shit on by his hero lol
puff daddys whole career as a producer and him getting the prestigious best hip hop producer of the 90s award frm the source who was the most respected hip hop pub. at that time is a great example of what were discussing here. the man never touched naan drum machine, keyboard or any of that.yeah you can be a shrill of a prick and sponge everyones ideas which is clearly what dres done for years (he knows there will be another class of young dumb ass beat makers every few years) but im sorry if a guy picked your drums and your loop for you or something of that nature he co produced it fam. you on some record industry rule 4080 type of shit and i cant respect it. it breaks up camps and crews etc.
