I like mel man. He is resposible with 2001 sound. But as a solo producer he is nothing. Scott became top producers of hiphop. Dj khalil has a name in hiphop. I respect mel man. He helped dre to shape his drum programming/bassline style especially. Scott storch is another level. Without scott storch 2001 wouldnt have the same impact, dr. Dre coıldnt have his best productions without the way scott made him to follow. Even without scott storch hiphop wouldnt be the same in first decade of millenium
You guys have spent 2-3 pages arguing over who played the keyboard better on 2001!! FFS!This is a 2024 Snoop and Dre album. Let’s discuss the album. Go make another thread about Scott Storch, Camera Kamdon, Mel Man, whoever else. They have nothing to do with this album.
Sooooo, I started listening to the album on a decent set of headphones while out on a walk.All I can say is that listening it on a laptop will not do it justice at all.Beforehand, I couldn't understand why the tracks were so short and if you listened to the tracks individually, they weren't spectacular (other than 'Thank you').However, when you play the album from beginning to end, it makes much more sense and has a good coherent vibe to it.I think the major downside is that there isn't a classic bangers on there as we've grown to expect but as a project i'm loving it now that i've accepted Dre is past the classic g-funk and 2001 sound. As someone previous commented, if this album suddenly dropped out of the blue and listened to it (not knowing it was produced by Dre), they will approach it differently. Snoop sounds so good on it and the ghostwriters did a good job. There wasn't unnecessary swearing or typical S-n-double-O-P, L-B-C, 2-1-3 rhymes.Other than Thank you, I would listen to the album in its entierty instead of there odd track here and there, as the tracks don't quite work individually in the same way
Meth killed his verse and after listening to the whole of Gunz N Smoke, I liked 50's verse more than when I first heard the snippet and i'm glad Em didn't used any silly/corny accents!
i much prefer mel man solo beats to scott storch solo beatsscott storch is dope but his best stuff just sounded like cheaper imitation of dre
Can you count 10 mel man solo beats in his all career?I can count 20 scott storch hits that whole world knows.Cheap dre beats? Come on! Scott has his own style. He is a jazz musician. He did lots of jazz/rnb/soul influenced hits. Even rock influenced hits. Dre has his piano-string based "dre type of beats" with scott's contribution. Funny you claim scott to make cheap dre beats. He was dominating charts in different genres.
bro who cares about charts, swizz beats dominated charts too maybe calling his beats cheap is a bit exaggerated, but they are a level below dre productions with that same sound and yes, i’m aware he started wit roots n has diff sounding beats.. but his signature style became the dre imitation stuff he was doin
