Dont get me wrongI like Dre as much as you do butWhere is he going with this kind of sound?Who's gonna listen to this?Offtop:Are Premier/ Johnny J & Easy Moe Bee a Producers or Beat Makers?
i don't like dres new sound either and they're both
not true at allmany from timbaland to quik have been questioned about having "ghost producers"dre just gets it the worst because he's the goat ... the greater u are the greater the target on your back
Ok who is NOT a producer? Just a beat maker?
He the only one who does that?Again: The whole convo pops up only when Dre is mentioned."With shot like that - You never be Quincy Jones of rap"Who been there who done that
SNOOP DOGG: [Dre] listened to it off the board (The Chronic) in the studio. He'd cut it together, cut the reels, splice it in. He actually had to put it together piece by piece, by hand. Every song connected to the next song, to the next song, to the next song.ALLEN GORDON (former editor, Rap Pages magazine): Dre had the talent to hear music and [say], “This needs a flute, harp strings, heavier drum track.” That's an incredible talent, even if he can't read music himself.
''Let me tell you something man, the collaborative effort for me is everything, I’ve never done one thing in my career by myself. It’s all been a collaboration. I love collaborating, I love being in the studio with likeminded people who understand where we’re trying to go with this music shit and that’s the magic for me at least.'' — Dr Dre on LL Cool J- 7:35Since the outset of his career, Dre has worked in tandem with others and for him, it’s where the joy resides. Back in the World Class Wreckin Cru, he combined his efforts with Alonzo Hawkins and Marquette Hawkins. After that, NWA gave him the chance to revolutionize gangsta rap alongside Ice Cube, Eazy E, MC Ren and Yella.Once he broke out of the Ruthless Records roster and onto Death Row, he expanded his rolodex of collaborators again and has continued to replenish them across the different eras of his Aftermath label.To Dre, the act of collaboration is essential to making something special. But on the flipside, his insistence on realizing each solitary note’s full potential means that even when he’s working with others, he leaves nothing to chance.By doing so, he’s allowed to coax greatness out of his co-conspirators and proteges in a way that any producer worth their salt should seek to emulate.“Sometimes he has something he hears me on immediately that he’ll know my flow or my cadence will compliment the track, or sometimes he’ll just let me go in the studio, he got about 400 beats, just pick through and see what I catch the vibe on. He all about the feeling, he ain’t never wanna rush or sit on it too tong about creating unless it’s one of them ones that;s for sure for sure. He gives me creative space where I can do what I do and then he just comes in and tweaks it, taking me to the next level. It’s crazy.”- — Kendrick Lamar on Hardknock TV- 4:50
