Who wrote what for Dre?

[No Compute]

ThaFormula.com - So now comes your album. What I want to know is how was it recording "No One Can Do It Better" because that was the only album that I can remember where Dre produced it all by himself, without the help of any other co-producer or whatever. It was just you and Dre. This is the album I always tell people to explain to me when they say Dre can't produce by himself or that he jacks everybody's beats. There was no one to jack for your album right?

D.O.C. - Well, let me explain something to you and you can print this so your people will understand. I went through this shit with Daz and now they're going through this shit with Mel-Man. Let me tell you something. What Dr. Dre gives those young men, they can't give you enough money for, what that guy gives these young producers that are trying to come up. The only reason Dre even has anybody else in there fucking with him is because he's lazy. That's the only reason. When Dre is in the studio, that shit is coming out of his mind and none of these other guys are responsible for it and I was there from day 1, 'till fuckin' '94 or '95 when I had to leave. Then I came back because doing records with Dre is like going to school, because if you sit and you watch, and you look and you learn, the guy is teaching you how to make great records. Now with this new record I made, I'm only doing what Dre would have did, and I used my own judgment. The one thing that Dr. Dre is missing now is D.O.C. and that's the same way that I would tell those young guys, hey that sucks! I would tell Dre's big ass the same shit. Hey, I love you, and your the greatest of all time, but that's bullshit!

BTW producing isn't just about playing instruments and making beats. Rock bands have producers - Do you think they play all the instruments??

Look at all the old stuff like Jimmy Z and Michel'le and the Skinny Boyz these are all albums produce by.Dre he plays Keyboards and drums,there was an old interview in Keyboards where they were showing his studio,he has one of the best drum sets in the music business as well as keyboards there was another interview a while back and it shows him playing both drums and piano which hes not the best but it does sound good.theres also interviews with some of the people he works with like Tommy Coster Jr. and Camara Kambon I read somewhere when they both were ask how does Dre produce does he even play insrtuments they both said yes he does,Dre play like a ruff draft(like missing notes and stuff like that) keyboards of course, and they go right behind him to make what he just did better with him (Dre) telling them thats the wrong sound or the wrong notes.Most of the good interviews are in stuff like Keyboards and Studio mags which to me is a little better because they go behind the music and talk to all his staff even his old staff.I think I read interviews of all his musician and his project coordinators like the Chatman brothers.
