I'm interested to know what really inspired the thread in the 1st placedid Scott claim he was responsible for the success or sound of 2001?
2001 isn't just Storch, it isn't just Dre, it's a combination of several people - Mike Elizondo, Kambon, Mel Man, Dre, Storch and a lot of other people - even down to the writers like Em & Jay, as well as many other 'uncredited' artists who do concept tracks to bring a project like that together. It's always been that way. Chronic had a big collaborative team - Colin Wolfe, Chris Taylor, Warren G, even Daz and others. Even right before Dre left DR, a lot of his Helta Skelta sound can be attributed to the likes of Sam Sneed. Quik is the same, but I'd still rate Quik over Dre - obviously not for commercial success, but just for the consistency, and less forgettable material over the years. I liked Compton, but a large part of me believes Dre is way past his prime. Quik I feel still has ore of that ability to put out great music, but due to his lack of commercial backing, he does tend to be a bit more experimental in pursuit of capturing new ears, but when you don't have a big machine behind you, it's more of a requirement to get the music spread further
