People didn't really like Jay's Kingdom Come but if you have a decent system and a good set of ears, you can't deny the mixing on that album. for Dre's standards the mixing wasn't even that spectacular, it says a lot if some heads didn't even know Dre mixed it... Jay's flow was also a mess on that album except for a few joints, definitely in the lower bracket of his catalog the mixing basically reminded me of Busta Rhymes - The Big Bang which was also kinda ehh i don't agree.

he helped on couple tracks from good kid mad city but was he involved in to pimp butterfly at all?
Quote from: Blood$ on September 10, 2016, 09:12:28 AMI never knew he mixed Kingdom Come front to back and that's kinda disappointing to hear since that was a pretty lackluster album outside of a few tracks he mixed 2 of Xzibit's albums too, no? I thought that was good for a Jay-Z album, in his top 5

Jay-z is just average, the rest is all hype, great marketing, and some sort of social proof conspiracy--dre should not have wasted his time (if he did actually mix it which I doubt) mixing inferior artists. Now as for Dre mixing an entire album I think it is just his own albums, Doggystyle, his work at ruthless, Dogg pound, and the mmlp
Eminem's Relapse album was mixed by Dre, I would bet a large chunk of King T's Thy Kingdom Come was mixed by him too.The question is, who is a better mixer of records out of Dre or DJ Quik?

Aren't you the same dude that was on Daz saying he's one of the greatest if I'm not mistaken (not sure that was a while ago). I can show you pages of Jay-Z quotables, Daz wouldn't even have 3 lines. And that's not to shit on you or Daz just trying to question your taste in lyrics. But as for Dre mixing whole albums, you're misinformed on a couple of things you said. 1) Dre didn't do the mixing at Ruthless, Donnovan did Dre and Yella did the production. His first mixing credit was on The Chronic. 2) Of course his own albums and Doggystle and Relapse which he produced the whole thing (except Beautiful which he didn't mix or produce) that he mixed as well, that's obvious. I think what is notable is albums that a few others on here and myself mention he mixed like Dogg Food, Truth Hurts, Jay-Z 's, and Last Meal was that he mixed a lot of other producers tracks which is rare. And 3) he only mixed the 6 songs he produced on mmlp, nothing more.

Dre has definitely mixed and produced for a gang of far inferior artists than Jay but if I drop the names of who they are I'll hurt some feelings and be labeled a haterJay-Z sure might not be some super lyrical dude behind the mic but he's said some pretty God level bars that go over the average listeners' heads especially taking into account he doesn't write his shit (unless he's ghostwriting for someone else) and it's off top
