is it a joke ? Daz play the keyboards . its Hip Hop music not jazz or classical .
from what i know , among the famous producers , only DJ Quik can play jazz chords , complex scales
in an old interview, Quik said he used diminished and altered chords . most of the hip hop producers dont know what s an altered chord
and it dont mean shit ,dope hip hop producers are completly ignorant in musical technique , arpeggio etc

Daz produced 5 songs on all eyes on me , right ? and some of the best tracks
Dr Dre didnt mix or produced these songs , right ?;
any musician or a fan with a ear know tracks like ambitionz as a ridah and 2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted sounds like Doggfood , same dark atmosphere, minimalism etc..
Kurupt said it recently " the first Tupac songs produced by Daz was our sound , doggfood sound "
Daz 's signature specially in the 90's is recognizable . Just listen to C Walk ..and you re going to say Dr Dre or Barney are behind C Walk ?
i like Soopafly but his productions are totally different from the dark atmosphere and minimalism behind DoggFood and All Eyes on me

lmao... the tracks on all eyez on me are great, but sound nothing like dogg food
and btw, quik mixed those.

created ??? ;D California Love is a sample "woman to woman " by Joe Cooker !!!!
same bassline, chords the only difference is probably the drum ;D

i said that was his strength
all those joints you named were overseen by someone else who added production value in the mix (dre with dogg food, quik with all eyez on me, raphael saadiq with midnight love etc.)
that's not to say daz isn't a capable producer .. but if you listen to the tracks off dillinger and young gotti before mike dean got involved on the production tip, you can see how stripped down they are in comparison.

It really is pretty wild when you listen to those 2 tracks on 2002 and then listen to Mike Dean's versions on Dillinger & Young Gotti...like night and day

Barney Rumble states quite clearly at the beginning of the message: "DAZ DOES NOT PLAY KEYS"—a statement he confirmed in the comments on those Instagram posts. And Soopafly confirms that Daz's production work is limited to drum programming. Nothing more, nothing less.
I don't even understand the tone of your message; we're here to have a friendly discussion. It's as if I didn't have the right to ask the question. I'm a fan, but I'm still allowed to wonder about things after what Barney Rumble said.
Here is what else Rumble says on the subject—take a good look at the comment where he says: "People really think Daz plays keys but HE DON'T That ain't a diss just facts":

I never accused you of doing it intentionally, this is for all walks of life, but this is a perfect life lesson how people can exaggerate or manipulate things being said to fit a narrative. That is most likely how you interpreted that. I encourage you to reread what each of these gentlemen wrote, and i think you will see you were overgeneralizing what they were saying.
I do sense a bit of 'poking the bear' mentality and not a good faith attempt at finding an answer. You titled the thread "is Daz a real producer"....does not being able to play keys not make you a great producer? Again, not sure how the idea that Daz doesn't play keys translates to he's not a real producer. Seems like a big leap. And again, he can play keys. Admittedly, not as well as THE MAN SOOPAFLY or Rubble, but they don't play keys as well as concert pianists, so does that make them any less of producers in your eyes because of that?
The post should've been "I thought Daz played keys on all his records, turns out he didn't, learned something new today" But no it's "He's not a real producer?" That's where you got sideways with some people here.
