'Catalina' & 'About Me' are the Dre tracks and they stand out pretty strong as Dre tracks w/ Batson piano elements. unless he mixed/produced someone elses beat i'm not sure what the other two could possibly be.

Yeah I went and checked and that's what I saw... maybe the two others were tracks that Dre owned because Dre is known for also buying beats he likes from other producers... not sure.  But the Dre tracks are dope!

Also notice, Busta is on there... that's the reason Rae was hanging around Aftermath because Bus and Rae are both 5% fam and were chillin together every day during that era.. So Bus was always bringing him around the Aftermath studio and Rae even served as an advisor for Bustas album.  Rae didn't actually think he had it any more and Busta was at his side like a big brother trying to build his confidence and get him back in the studio.   Busta is one of those live and breathe hiphop cats (I mean this is the same guy from Leaders of the New School) so he's always on—but Rae was like ready to give up the game

He didn't.
Rae must have misspoken, I guess. I remember him saying he had 3 Dre beats back then, 2 of which were used on the album. The third one I think was rumored to be titled "1000 Grams" and he wanted to use it in the future.
