Dre put his fingers in official debut of 50, Kendrick and Em - coincident? Then Ok, I agree his involvment has decreased (depsite Em’s projects).
We went through this.Dre mixin gkmc. There are his fingers on the album.
YES But very less, that album would make the same impact without Dre's mixing fingers... Dre and Focus mixed whole "Ventura" but he has nothing to the with concept and production. Paak said Dre let him to do whatever he wants in Ventura contrary to Oxnard.... how much more dre involved with kendrick and paak, it can get worse that much. Dre doesnt have a chemistry with them and he is old and outdated to understand their vision unfortunately.
Even Kendrick's engineer would disagree with you. https://hiphopdx.com/news/id.36914/title.mixedbyali-details-lessons-learned-from-dr-dre I'm positive there are more interviews in which Mixed by Ali gives Dre plenty of credit for the success of GKMC and other Kendrick songs. Dre's fingerprints are all over GKMC, even if he didn't take credit for it. In regard to Paak, I always thought Oxnard and Ventura as companion albums. Oxnard was the rap album, Ventura the R&B album. It made sense that Dre would be more involved in the rap album. IMO Oxnard was the better album, but most disagree which is fine.Also, to say that he doesn't have chemistry with kendrick or paak is just ignorant. Paak's two contributions on the Contract were great. He was also great on the Compton album. Unfortunately, Dre doesn't believe in promoting his own shit.
i’ve come to expect this underrating of dres magic cats act like they know what’s goin on in the studios it’s been proven that dre is the biggest ghost producer in the industrywhen he’s credited as “mixer”, he’s doing WAY more than most producersbelieve that
thisplus The Recipe just might have been a Dre co-production, judging by how his musicans are listed in the credits.
Dre didnt put his fingers in Kendrick's debut, and other releases. Dre just let what kendrick and team wants to put out. Because he really has nothing to do with Kendrick's vibe. He wanted to put his finger in Paak's project "Oxnard" and it failed.
I’m not trying to discredit Dre. What you all saying 100% accurate about his touch when involved, even if only mixing.Point is the true stars he’s put on create great, timeless music with or without Dre. Same not true for Game.
after he’s groomed them, maybenone of them put that level of music out before him
