speaks volumes on general lack of their musical knowledge
Basically, J. Flexx wrote the lyrics, Sam Sneed produced the beat and sold it to Dre for 20000$, so he can tweak it a little bit, mix it and go platinum plus
j flex wrote some dope shit for dre though like: California love, been there done that, natural born killas. damn I miss those old death row days.

Guess Dre was keepin them down all those years
what dre needs to do to make these guys understand is set them in a room and sit across the room from them...stare at them for about 30 seconds silently with out blinking. then quietly turn to them and say. "listen as long as your in this studio you are my bitch...any sound you make during the duration of your stay here today will not escape the vacuum of dres vaults unless me or iovene say so. if you break the code that we have set forth you will be black balled and never make another dollar in the music industry....now, with that said do you still want to go into this room and do these tracks nigga?" bark on them niggas on some alpha male shit.

I dont know what to believe when it comes to this but i will say one thing. There are a hell of a lot more people saying Dre did not make beats then people saying he did.I hear that for a lot of tracks Dre laid the drum beat down and the session musicians or other producers like Daz etc would make music around it then Dre would mix and arrange it....now to me that's not a producer. The producer writes the music. Not just a drum beat and then some arrangement.Its funny how his early stuff sounded a lot like Daz's stuff and his later stuff sounded like Scott Storch and them. Nowdays he does not seem to be working with any hot producers and his beats are not very good. People say that when Dre drops new albums he is re-inventing his sound....now is that right or is he really just taking stuff from a new batch of producers?Like i say, i dont know what really goes on for sure so im not taking anything away from Dre at all, he is a talent, even if it is just the way he makes the final product sound even if he did not actually write the music or produce it
It's the D-R-E the spectacularIn a party I go for your neck, so call me "Blacula"More than a Stealth bomber, I cause dramaThe enforcer, music floats like a flying saucerWhen I rock the spot with the flavor I gotI get plenty of ass, so call me an ass-tronautAs I blast past another nigga's ass that thought he was strongBut I smoke him like grass, just like Cheech and ChongMany tried to, but just can't rock withI'm 6-1, 225: pure chocolatePure lyricism at it's finest.
The Producer in Hip Hop is typically thought of as the person who makes the beat. But, when you look at say the Phil Spector, Quincy Jones and the like, they were orchestrating the musicians around them to create a sound, directing the vocalist to sing a certain way, etc. That is what Dre is doing. He's a Producer in a traditional sense of the term, not a beat maker.

ThisThe modern idea of a producer is what killed creativity for the music - expecting one 'big name' to do everything on his set up instead of a collaborative process with musicians, DJs and samples.
