I love Daz, and Daz is a legend and he's in my top 3 producers and top 10 rappers, and certainly his ideas contributed to the Chronic.....But not showing more love to Dre has to be one of Daz biggest mistakes (and for that matter, 2pac, Suge, etc) Cause Dre has always had the ultimate response for anybody that has tried to talk that kind of shit about him.The response has always been... "Okay... so you say I'm stealing, ideas, stealing credit. Okay, I will make as big or bigger records without you (and now let's see what you can do without me)".Pac, of course could of been great in his own right and was bigger than Dre. But at the same time, Pac was caught in the wrong mix of people, and Death Row started falling apart just 6 months after Dre left. They went from "Untouchable" to being (an industry blacklisted) another kind of "Untouchable" shortly after Dre left.
Dre took bits and pieces (like Daz's drums on Rat tat tat) and made them into what they are supposed to be (aka produced the song).
Go and listen to the first demo draft instrumental of Ambitionz Az A Ridah by Daz and its a simple drum loop with an even simpler bassline. Thats it, nothing else. All that extra stuff you hear on the retail version was done by Quik and you don't hear Daz talking about that now, do ya?

"Dre took my ideas to create The Chronic". Well, yes, if you were in the studio sessions for that album, he probably utilized some aspect of your ideas. He took Snoop's ideas. He took DOC's ideas. The reason they are both still around him to this day is they understood that was what his job was. Making a beat isn't the same as producing a record.
