XZIBIT - KINGMAKER (Official Discussion)

[Tony Trey]

No Dre production = no listen

It's supposed West Coast fans like you that are the reason the West Coast struggles to get any attention.

Xzibit is a dope MC. He was one before he ever hooked up with Dre and he'll continue to be one without Dre.

[Marco]

Well, Dre did a beat for X's last album, so why not this time?

The more time passes, more harder it is for Dre to make beats for rappers on other labels. Unless it was recorded years ago. And don't forget that Napalm has been released for 12 years.

I doubt it, but it could happen. And Xzibit has the talent to make a sinister album even without Dre.

There are many good producers that X can work with, the proof is in his recently released singles.

This guy always talk shit and negative comments. Just ignore him.

He’s just looking for attention. He’s the same guy who said Ice Cube is not relevant anymore. Clown

Exactly. Just look at his profile and you will see how much bullshits and negative things he says.

yes but xzibit works with aftermath still to this day.

[Marco]

Ok ok, with or without Dre, this album is going to be incredible. I have no doubts.

The problem of some here is thinking that only Dre makes bangin beats. Dre is the GOAT, obviously, but West has too much talented producers. Xzibit works with an incredible/renowned producers names.
Llike Diamond D, DJ Muggs, Sir Jinx, Budd'a, Soopafly Rockwilder, Battlecat, DJ Quik, Nottz, Bink, DJ Khalil, Jelly Roll, Hi-Tek, Focus..., 1500 or Nothin', Dem Jointz, E-A-Ski, Amplified Neff-U, etc etc etc...

Do you need more, or is that ok?

Go listen to X's discography and then come back to say something. In his entire discography, Dre only gave him 5 beats. And his discography is the shit. Love X.

To complement my words:

To complement my words:

when did dr. dre make a banging beat or a hit? 15 years ago?

[Marco]

when did dr. dre make a banging beat or a hit? 15 years ago?

The beats I like from Dre may be the ones you don't like, or vice-versa. The discussion here isn't about "time", but rather that some think the album would have been good if it had at least one Dre beat. This is already fanaticism.

If you read my other post above, it says exactly that the more time passes, the harder it is for Dre to give beats to rappers who are no longer in Aftermath.

I mentioned several other producers who are good for the West Coast. And yes, even today Dre's beats from 15 years ago are still dope. If you are a hater, I can't do anything. 

EDIT: Did you listened to CASABLANCO? It's a sonic masterpiece from Dre. I'm sure you'll criticize it too and when "Missionary" drops, even if it has well-produced songs, you'll criticize it too. You're just a HATER.

And don't forget to "Compton", another classic released in 2015.

ETA from the contract is a classic. The song with Eminem on there is dope as hell too

in retrospect, The Contract is a dope EP

obviously not up there wit Dres classix, but i think the fact that it wasn’t on that level turned a lot of people off

i expect the same with Missionary.. will probably have its share of dope songs but will be greatly disappointing in totality
