Well mainly, the fact that Rakim and Dre's styles don't really match, but that almost anything Dre touches is heat, is what made people want to see what would happen.
He did sound dope on the Watcher, and on Addictive, even tho that was Quik. But not only do people consider them two of the best, but people wanted to see how the different styles would come together.

and don't respond with "Dre is the best producer and Rakim is the best rapper"
Why not?

because that doesn't really mean anything. if my fave rapper (Paris) and my fave producer (DJ Premier) hooked up it would probably be a mess. just because 2 people are the best (which is an opinion anyways, i'm not a huge Dre fan) doesn't mean that they'll necessarily be "The Best" when put together

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.
