interesting find...its well known that Dre has ghostwriters but maybe he had a hand in some of these tracks lyrically speaking
as far as taking 3 people to write a song Snoop and DPG has practiced this forever

MC Ren said Dre wrote "Eazier Said Than Dunn" for Eazy. Never heard of Dre writing on these songs though.

Yeah this is dope. Kind of skimmed the article but it looks like he didn’t pen those entire songs right? Like maybe a few he did or just the chorus? But he penned all of “easier said than done”.
Forgot about that Erykah track because at the rhyme I didn’t know about Erykahs relationship wit DOC so I thought they just used the beat…
On a lesser note—Snoop put in his auto-biography (which is a great read by the way) that Dre gave him the first lines to “Deep Cover” … but first he had a to ask Dre—“Hey, what’s the song even about?” And then Dre spit… “Tonights the night I get in some shit” and left snoop by himself at the crib while Dre went to the gym and when Dre came back he looked at what Snoop did and said —“we got ourselves a hit”

Maybe he is crowded as a writer on Mary J. Blige & Badu Joints cause it uses his Samples?

We got our selves a hit yet dre hated the song and refused to do it live according to snoop.

They have performed it live, but I think it's a song Dre doesn't like performing for some reason. There's footage of them doing it at The Tunnel back in 1999.

Dre would have been credited if a sample of his was used.
Often the writers of the original artists being sampled are credited - if the credits are properly stated/given.

Agreed. Sampled Artists are credited as writers.
