I don't know man...I'm not saying he makes the beats from scratch but he certainly puts it all together by the end

and everything Dre has had his hand in up to maybe 2015 or so was either classic or dope

not feeling his production on Missionary but everything has an expiration date

Everytime dre is mentioned the "beat maker vs producer' discussion comes up..

Only dre. Never othets.

Dre is a hiphop legend, no doubt about it.  From 87 to today, still doing it, even the staunchest Dre haters have to give him props for the longevity and the amount of hits he's had (whether he's fully produced them or had ghost writers, whatever).

Now, today is he overrated?  Absolutely.  Is the stuff he's producing today the best out there right now?  No, of course not.  Just like is E-40 the best rapper today?  Is Too Short the best rapper today?  No, they aren't.  But they still get their props for being legends, and i still enjoy listening to their songs at times.  Dre is in this category now.

Exactly, plus have you noticed everyone who says Dre stole their beats. stole their lyrics, he has no talent, etc...they all come back to work with him again?  So what's the deal?  Were they lying?  Does Dre really steal your beats and lyrics and you don't care now and you go back to him so he can steal from you again?  What kind of person does that make you?

Examples:
Sam Sneed
RBX
DOC
J-Flexx
DJ Quik
Crooked I

The list goes on and on.....

Dre been stealing beats for 40 plus years and somehow he keeps finding suckers to steal from??....FOR 40 YEARS!  Give me a break.

people are confused with making a beat and producing. that's how "stealing beats" romour begins.

dre is quincy jones

a lot of the greatest producers use a team of musicians and session players they can orchestrate to achieve their vision.. duno where u got "only dre" from


quik gets praised for being hands on but he did the exact same thing throughout his career with robert bacon, g-one, stan the guitar man etc


timbaland is considered a goat but was constantly getting dissed by idiots for having a team on musicians he utilized regularly


only people who don't understand production diss dre

no

no

as i heard in an interview (rubin or skyler im not sure) skyler brings the song and chorus. em writes his lyrics and asks rubin to add drums to skyler's piano and produce the song. rubin says "no drums", it feels better this way, just piano and you. thats how the song structure has been decided and produced. sometimes even the vision is producing.
