by the way ever notice that warren g makes a cameo appearance on the skit where dude gets thrown in jail on that record?
Well I mean, at no point did Dre ever come out and say that he was an 'artist'. From day one, his initial title has been 'producer', hence the fact that we've only had 2 solo albums from him. For Dre to match the dopeness of his production, I guess he feels he has to make sure that the rhymes live up to the beats, so he enlists trustworthy writers to hook him up. I can see why many cats would dog on him for not writing shit himself, but it's not like he's a real 'rapper'. It's like how Eminem is a rapper who produces, Dr. Dre is a producer who raps.

Rakim didnt write Dre's verse on Watcher 2...
Also, notice how shit that people write for dre is often hotter than their own shit? I read or saw someplace once that how it works is Dre throws "concepts" at writers with an idea of the structure of songs and shit, and his ghost writers do the actual word placement and syllibolic placement and shit like that.
Royce Da 5'9 Also Wrote That Unrelesed Track "Xxxsplosive Part 2" Thats Why He Sings The Hook...Dre Does Help With The Writing Process, He Said In Blaze Magazine (the one with him and snoop on the cover) That When Jay-Z Wrote "Still D.R.E." He Wrote About Bentleys And Jewelry And Shyt And Dre Told Him People In L.A. Dont Give A Fuck About That Shyt, And Told Him To Rhyme About Shyt Dre Would Say... Jay-Z Came Back In 20 Minutes With A Hole New Song And Even Added A Part About Still Hitting Corners In Lo Lo's (That Was Dre's Quote)...That Shyt Is True Too Still Got The Magazine...
