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.

I think thats what a good producer does, to work with the right team. Even mastering a song is another expertness. Mixing also. You cant blame a producer for not mixing and mastering his songs. Those another different expertness. As long as you know whom to go to mix and master your song, you are doing the right thing and you are a good producer. As long as you know which instrument and instrumentalist you need in your song you are a good producer. Dillinger and Young Gotti album is my favorite DPG album and i thank Daz for bringing Mike Dean to create that classic.
Without colin wolfe, glove, mel man, mike elizondo, scott storch, dre wouldnt make those hits. But without dre there wouldnt be either. Dre is mixing his own songs, thats a bonus but just because timbaland is not mixing his songs that doesnt mean dre is better producer or opposite.
You are a good and top producer if you know who to go to make your song better in anyway.
Theres no such thing like "hey im dj bla bla and im making my songs on my own, i play all instrumentals, i mix it and i master it so im a better producer than daz or dre"... Even quik knows how to play guitar and piano he let musicians to play at the end to get the best for production.
Timbaland was already a great producer but he did his opus magnum songs with Danja.
Also Kanye.. he did some of his best work with Mike Dean.
We can say the same thing with Eminem and Luis Resto. Em has a signature soınd and he wisely have Luis close to himself to producing classics. Em cant play keyboard or any instrument. He also is not good at drum programming. But can you say Eminem is not a producer or somebody add production value to his works.

Calitornia Love Remix is actually the OG version. Its produced by Laylaw of Above The Law. Dre hears it and want to use it for Pac. Then he change the beat, but keep the idea and chorus. Then they release it as produced by dr. Dre. Then laylaw got mad and asks WTF dre?? Dre says its company's fault and it has nothing to do with him but he says he will compansate it by using laylaws og beat in album. Laylaw calms down after this. Then album comes out and he sees his Og version is also credited as produced by dre. Then he cant even reach to dre and he sues death row. As i know he gets a good amount of money after that trial.
True story :)

I think The foundation of the song is the roger troutman s voice . I understand Laylaw was mad .. I thought it was Dr Dre idea .. we should replace the title of the thread by ..is Dre a real producer haha
