This debate will probably go on forever. I'll just rate it how I see it....Reaons for Quik over Dre:-Much more musically inclined..meaning he uses a lot more musical theory in his music than Dre usually does, and can make music to appeal to people who don't even like rap-Rarely samples or interpolates songs like Dre...and Dre will interpolate songs that nobody really knows about and get credit for bein a genius for creatin it (i.e. Xxplosive, Next Episode)-Much less speculation than Dre as far as havin ghost producers...everybody knows they both use musicians, which is what a producer does. But there has been speculation about Dre not even comin up with the melodies or anything at all other than mixin, then gettin his name on it-Doesn't take nearly as long to come out with albums, and since 95-96, has produced more songs than Dre overall that have been at a very similar level of quality-Style is much harder to imitate than Dre's, and uses many elements that no regular producer could ever use-Better as a rapper and has more personality in his music, as far as throwin in little samples and makin the beat play off of the artistReasons for Dre over Quik:-Has had a much bigger impact in Hip Hop and in mainstream music than Quik, even though Quik never got his props for it-Has been producin classic material for nearly 20 years, and has been producin period for longer than that-Has many more commercially recognized hits, and has a higher demand-Changes the game damn near every time he changes his style, and ends up havin hundreds of copycats-Is known to bring out the best in almost every artist he works with-Music always appeals to everyone outside the West-Rarely dissapoints when he puts his all into a project

I don't think anyone could have said it any better. Right on point. I always enjoyed reading your posts
DJ QUIKTHEY WAT HE USED THAT BROTHERS JOHNSON "STRAWBERRY LETTER 23" SAMPLE TO MAKE "SAFE & SOUND" IS PURE GENIOUS.
rythym-al-ism overshadows any dre album easily production wise.
