props to infinite for pointing these articles out for you. the article in eq magazine was as close as your gonna get to a dre recording session unless your lucky enough to sit in a studio and watch dre work. the article in keyboard magazine was also very good especially the first part where tommy talks about dre  directing the musicians by telling them what he wants, what instruments to use, humming the sounds he wants and directing everything from start to finish. once in a while the musicians do work on their own that dre likes and lets the musicians run with. but in the end dre puts everything together and tweaks, adds and changes what he feels necessary. a few times i've talked about what a recording session with dre is like. its gets pretty technical thats why i never talk too much about that. again the eq magazine article does a really nice job of going into the equipment. most of it is pretty foreign to most of you, though. and the eq article also gives great respect to the other members of dre's team. everyone plays an important part of dre's team. dre is the leader but dre will always point out how important every member of the team is to the final product. so of you may ask, where's melman? don't worry he's most definetly around. but there are many projects going on at the same time so melman has been away from dre a lot of times. but don't worry they are still working together and will continue to.
both articles put together go through virtually every step in dre's production formula. the article also shows the incredible knowledge dre has about instruments, producing, mixing, engineering and the equipment he uses.
thats why unless you actually sit in the studio and watch dre work you don't realize the truly unbelievable talent that dre has. and its ignorant, stupid and embarrassing to judge dre's talents unless you see in person how hard he works and how much he knows about putting a record together.
so again thanks to infinite for letting you know about these things. i wish i had more time to do this for you but with the various studios and the huge numbers of people who go in and out of them daily i forget about a lot of the media that gets access to the studio. so thanks to anyone who helps to let you know about the articles or tv appearances involving dre. thanks again, infinite59. peace.

This Is the best artical I have read about dre I a huge dre fan . I will listen to anything he touches with the magic hands he has. These articles show another side of him and how he gets down to business.

Dirty Dozen Devils Night

Well I'ma state my name, Swift McVay
None of y'all niggaz got shit to say
Rhymes keep comin off like a toupee
Plus I'm big headed runnin things my way
A selfish man, the back of the hand
Be slappin the hell out of hoes because I can
Prostitute, I want my loot
And I don't give a fuck about your broke-ass man and
Y'all givin niggaz what they needin
'til bitches understand I'm mean and
Swift McVay is, blowin up
Courvosier 'til I'm throwin up
Wanna playa hate me, bitch so what?
What's yo' function? Where's yo' bucks?
All you wanna do is wanna stick him up
You wanna rob me but I got too much (hah)
D-12, naturally lifted
You niggaz better duck when I cock the biscuit
You fuck wit me, I fuck wit you
Your entourage, nigga fuck them too
I got grenades
What the hell your little twenty-two gon' do?
(Y'all ain't gon' shoot)
Y'all major soft
Cops gettin mad cause I paid 'em off, made 'em cough
blood and shit
That's what the hell you motherfuckers get, we runs this bitch?
So hey, you ain't gotta be scared to fuck
If you want head, then prepare to suck (do it)
Even if the nigga don't care to nut
For every stroke, it's a hundred bucks
Respect the game, you just a slut
So open your legs up and get my duck

Swift Mcvay D12

ayo infinite great articles,

mellowman, who in the hell are you?
you sound full of crap like you know more about stuff than the people in here, fool,

the equipment basically doesn't even matter when it comes to producing, lol, thats whats funny, you can have all the equipment in the world but if you don't have musical skill then you still suck, its like golfers who go out and buy an 800 dollar club when they can't even hit the ball

i can make a beat better than forgot about dre on my equipment, and i have, and will continue to do so, what makes dre so great is his ability to consistently make great beats and correlate the vocals to them,

Dre2001 is a cd of 8 measure loops with instruments added in for the choruses, I played some beats for someone who didn't know anything about rap and they were like, "whats great about that?" cause i have the instrumental cd,

Dre is great and is the best producer in the world as far as im concerned, but anyone can do better, listen to the complexity of classical music and then listen to dre,

my point is that i don't have the equipment or the staff that dre does and it ticks me off, i have to create my own sounds and ish and have been working at the same keyboard for 4-5 years but its soundin tight, so basically im just ticked that i don't have the capability, its like i could utilize all the equipment cause i've been doin it for so long where people like mellowman, who sounds suprisingly like an old aquaintence named "suge" a.k.a.  "enter_makaveli" come in and act like they can rap 1000 times better than people in here and produce 1000 times better than people in here, when they can't and can't prove it and can't back it up, its like their like I have a deal and i'm better cause i have a deal, no fool, your not better and you don't know more than everyone on here, i just want to let you know that.

i can go into the guitar center and make a mind blowing beat on a korg triton that people in the store are like, "DAMN", but i have to walk out of the store with out the keyboard, and it ticks me off

Post by: mellowman on July 09, 2001, 06:11:38 PM
wow, this thread was all positive and peaceful and all of a sudden d.o.c.b. comes in and brings a full scale attack on me. docb, you don't know me so don't judge me. i'm not gonna beef with you if thats what you want. talk to all the biggest posters on this board about me if you wonder who i might be or why my posts are like they are. they'll tell you.
as far as your comments i'm not sure where i said that having the top equipment makes you a great producer. i pointed out dre's knowledge of the equipment and how he uses them along with his talents and teammates to be the best producer around. you also said i was acting like i am better than everyone else. i never said anything along those lines. you are the one who thinks you can do beats better than dre. you probably are a very talented person. i'm sorry if you don't have a deal and are pissed off. i know how tough it is. i'm sorry if your jealous of my position or dre's position. but that is no excuse for coming out and attacking me personally. but i don't care. i'm here and you're there and what you do doesn't affect me. and yes dre's stuff if fairly simple, yet very complex. believe me if dre wanted to bring a 64 piece orchestra into the studio and put out an album it would be the most incredible shit you've ever heard. dre usually uses 2 or 3 instruments on individual tracks. add 60 or so other musicans and instruments and let dre direct and create parts for each instrument. he could make the most complex beat you've ever heard. but dre knows most fans don't want to hear that and although dre uses some orchestra instruments in his beats he probably won't go that far. they want to hear simplistic yet very original and complex top notch production. you said that anyone can make better beats than dre. i have yet to see someone who has. and until you have the success dre's had you can't talk about how good you are. i know your frustrated and i know you're itching to show people your talents. and i know you respect dre, even though some comments seem to discredit his talent. so keep attacking me and accusing me of making things up. i'm only gonna post positive things. even though you obviously despise me i'm still gonna wish you the best of luck. hang in there. send as many demo's as you can. audition for parts wherever you can. if you already have keep trying. if you want to make music your career you'll probably have to give up everything and focus all your money and attention on your music.
but what do i know? i'm making shit up, right?
PEACE.

mellows on point with that post


d.o.c.b i've heard your beats as well as any vet on this board and you are NOT all that , man i know you've been around a while as an affiliate but for reals man chill with that animosity, i use to/still produce trax once in a while and i ain't tryin' to rais my self to no higher level or diss you or nothing but i can do your beats and then tweak em and make em better...so don't try to act overconvitent no one on this board is at dre's level....we ain't even on eminem's level (production wise) , just chill man mellow's the dopest poster here on the board and EVERY one respects him wether he's really cool with dre or not, and even though you got history with the affiliates too d.o.c.b u ain't got no right to straight up diss somone like that, i'm out peace

thanks big jake. i have no anomosity to docb whatsoever. if he needs to get shit off his chest fine. attacks on me are uncalled for but don't bother me too much. anyway, since i have been working by myself today i have taken some breaks and posted a lot of things today. i promise you wont get this many posts from me on one day again. this thread has brought back the speculation on who i am. this is my fault and i apologize. i have overwelcomed my original intent for posting on this board. trauma, bigjake and everyone on here who has defended me, thanks. but don't feel like whenever anyone doubts me that you have to tell them why i know what i know.i don't expect everyone to believe me .like i have said before, the more people who do doubt me makes my job a lot easier, for it allows me to post without speculation and i don't have to worry about people trying to figure out who i am. i will probably not ever tell you who i am cause it doesn't matter. and even if you knew, some people won't believe me or even care. my intention was never to bring this much attention to myself or brag about being associated with dre.  lately i have gotten a little too opinionated on certain things and that will stop. but as y'all know, this internet thing can get addictive. i will go back to posting once or twice every week or so. i will also answer some of the questions you ask me. going back to my old ways will allow me to put full focus back on my work and avoid getting caught up in personal arguements. but i will continue to post information, insights and my opinions that relate to the correlating topics every once in a while. you can take the information and do whatever you want with it. you can believe me or not believe me.
i appreciate all the people who support me. those people know i post news that is heard from me before anyone else and i post insights and information you are not able to get elsewhere. to those people who appreciate what i tell you i will continue to hit up this board for you guys. and the people who don't believe me god bless you also.
again i'm sorry for bringing this much attention to myself.
i'm gonna get back to the music next week and FINALLY talk to you about the use of 5.1 on detox. i've promised that for two weeks. its time to put up or shutup. i will make that my next post.  talk to you then. peace.

true that.. the older stuff i heard is dope.

*anyways*

the worst thing about this is that mellowman hasnt ever claimed to be anyone or anything - he's earnt trust/respect by dropping shit intelligently - he'll say he's not sure about something being true.

for all we know he's a coffee boy with big ears... whichever way - the info aint been wrong yet -

i dont get why people keep tripping over this shit
Title: Re: New articles on Dre's production secrets
Post by: So Much Style on July 11, 2001, 11:28:14 AM
he hasnt told us anything that has had to be tested....like when he says someone is working with someone, well only time will tell...

example:

---------

hey i am so much style, someone releated with aftermath, get ready for the new rakim lp oh my god featuring  the first single Xtasy with snoop dre eminem kurupt rbx daz and lady of rage

it will be out in 2 years

-------------

you dont know if i am lying or not until 2 years know what im sayin
