this is definitely his sound
notice how it's drum and bass driven
the instruments are conceived and played by others
for the record, daz is a very dope producer .. hes basically a poor man's dre (which is a compliment)
like i said earlier, i put him in that second tier
tier 1
dre
quik
warren
battlecat
timbo
premo
pete rock
dilla
rza
havoc
tier 2
daz
meech
jellyroll
storch
fredwreck
soopafly
pooh
alchemist
hit-boy
uneek
just a random 10 names to showcase the difference in tiers
there are others who can fit into both (and some in between)

Great list.
For my part, based on personal preference, here are my top West Coast music producers:
- Daz Dillinger / DJ Quik
- Dr. Dre
- Johnny J
- Soopafly
- Warren G
- Battlecat
- Dj Pooh
- Cold 187
- Jelly Roll
- Hit Boy
- Fredwreck
- Meech Wells
- Ant Banks
And here is my top list of other producers outside the West Coast:
- Timbaland
- Beats By The Pound
- Pharrell Williams
- Scott Storch
- Hi-Tek
- Alchemist

From about 93-99 he was a beast, including producing probably the best GFunk album of all time Conversation. I always give Warren his props. But to be fair, objectively speaking, he hasn't done much in the past 20 years, whereas Daz is still going strong. I think Warren had a good team behind him, Greedy Greg, Ricky Rouse, and a few others that he doesn't have at his disposal anymore.

yeah its been since '09 since he released an album so you are right about his short career
it just seems to me he always getting looked over even by his own crew especially Dre and even Snoop

nice
i will say narrowing it down to just pharell instead of neptunes is off to me
they were much better as a duo imo and most of pharrell classix comes from the neptunes era
also gota throw the glove in the mix... mike mosely, khayree, tone capone and many others from the bay get overlooked as well

I don't understand the overblown reactions from some posters.
Let me recap the context:
- I'm a fan of West Coast music, and Daz in particular.
- I learned from Rumble and Soopafly that there were some questions surrounding his keyboard skills.
- Not knowing the difference between a beatmaker and a producer, I decided to ask whether Daz is a "real" producer (since, to me, creating the instrumental meant being a producer).
- I explained everything in detail (to show I was acting in good faith).
- And yet, I'm facing attacks here that are completely uncalled for.
Some people take me for a troll; others think I'm trying to stir up trouble.
Look, guys, I have better things to do; I just came here to share my passion and ask for other people's opinions. There was no need to attribute imaginary motives to me (like trying to provoke or troll).

Perhaps a more productive avenue for you to travel is to reassess your definition of a 'real' producer. By your current definition, I think very few producers would even fall into your narrow definition, let alone any that you would consider good producers.

No, thanks, there's no need; I think I have a very good definition now.
