Title: Songs Dre Rapped On, But Didn't Produce
Post by: Murrow on April 19, 2001, 02:46:04 PM
I've pondered this question, this is an elite list for The Doctor.  I've come up with these songs that Dre was not invovled in the production what so ever, but contributed a verse/hook.

"U Better Recognize"  Produced by Sam
Sneed, hook done by Dre.

"Got Me Open"  Produced by Bud'da, Dre has one verse.

"Puppet Master"  Produced by Muggs, Dre does a verse.

"No Diggity"  Produced by Teddy Riley, Dre has one verse.

"Ghetto Fabulous"  Produced by Stu-B-Doo, Dre raps.

"The Message"  Produced by Lord Finesse, Dre raps.

"Watch Me"  Produced by Irv Gotti, Dre on hook.

"If I Get Locked Up Tonight"  Produced by Rockwilder, Dre on hook.

IS THERE ANY MORE, IF THERE IS SOMEONE HELP ME OUT.

The fifrst thing I thought was "No Diggity"...Then I saw Overseers reply....Then I thought about "The Message" and I saw DPG's Reply....Shit!

Come to think of it, most songs Dre is on he produced, except for the few you listed..

There is 2 versions of U Better Recognize. One dre and sam co-produced, one Sam produced himself. Jakedogg has the dre/sam produced one, i have the same produced one. and I had the dre/sam one burnt on my dre bootleg, the dre one is better for sure.
I don't know if these count but tracks on dogg food dre is on respect and let's play house but me and trauma believe he produced those 2 tracks.i think there has to be more.peace-Tanjint

A y'all, I added that E A Ski song with Dre, "Dr. Dre & Mr. Ski".  Did Ski handle the production himself?  I think he did, someone help me out to make sure.
Title: Re: Songs Dre Rapped On, But Didn't Produce
Post by: Mr_Loc on April 21, 2001, 09:34:44 PM
They co-produced it, cuz i remember in an interview with ski he was saying how he learned so much from watching dre do his thing behind the boards on that track

Suge produced like three albums, and exec produced most other ones early DRR. The fact he sucked ain't the point. He co-produced The Roach, High Powered and Gin 'N Juice(though on the latter, it was basically him mastering the sound and checking the drum programming).

Mel-Man produced just under half of the tracks that were done in-house on 2001. The Message was produced by Lord Finesse, as pointed out in the liner notes.

Dre didn't do Hello-Don't say he did in the liner notes of Peacem, so he didn't.

hmmz dre did produce hello with mel man

fuck you is a classic dre beat  and if n e 1 did more on that track it would b dre not mel man

suge doesn't produce, he may have is name in the credits, but his name up on a record cos he pays for the tracks 2 b recorded.

Title: Re: Songs Dre Rapped On, But Didn't Produce
Post by: TheSheriff on April 22, 2001, 10:34:43 AM
Fuck You is a Mel-Man beat, by all accounts, busta.

Hello was Dre "exec"-ing for Mel-Man, so, ya, they did that shit.

Suge did produce, but only when he like fuckin' cheap. If you check out a just post-DRR interview wuith Dre, he mentions that Suge did a bit fo the shit they dropped.

Yo!  I found a song Dre had one verse on but didn't produce..."Got Me Open".  It's that Hands On song produced by Bud'da off "The Aftermath".  Dre isn't credited for his verse, but he has one for about a minute.  I'll add this one.

When it says "Produced by: Myrion Suge" on the "TG4R" album, duz that mean the Suge produced it, cuz I know his first name is Myrion or Maryon, so does Suge produce?
Title: Re: Songs Dre Rapped On, But Didn't Produce
Post by: Trauma-san on April 23, 2001, 10:41:23 AM
Suge HAS Produced Some Stuff Before.  He Just Sucks.  I Think His Main Input In Production Was Telling People What He Thought Sounded Good.
Title: Re: Songs Dre Rapped On, But Didn't Produce
Post by: TRG-RASCAL on April 26, 2001, 12:39:53 AM
haha suge aint produced shit!!!!

Dr. Dre produced "Hello" co-produced by Mel Man

California Love by Dre

Suge executive PRODUCES WHICH MEANS that he overlooks the albums SOUND and makes sure its BANGIN it doesnt mean he creates the SONGS!!!!!!!!!!
Title: Re: Songs Dre Rapped On, But Didn't Produce
Post by: TheSheriff on April 26, 2001, 12:48:57 PM
I think we've already pointed that out, so leave it, there's a good chap...

Suge produced the beat for High Powered, and mastered  "Doggystyle"(latter according to former DRInmate CatzI).

CatzI said that after getting major beef with Suge. He also did some other shit.

It's a Rick Rock production mixed by Dre.

At one point I thought every track that Dre was on was produce or co-produce by him.

LOL at people sayin Suge produced.  Whenever you see Suge's name on somethin as Exexutive Producer that means he was in charge of the recording budget for the album.  Suge wasn't in the studio twistin any knobs or playin any instruments.

Knoc-Turn'al Feat. Dr. Dre, Slip Capone, Timebomb - Doin' The Most/When It All Comes Down To It (have seen it listed as both). Dre drops a verse on here (a knoc song that appeared on the bootlegg version of knoc's landin, never released by knoc officially), and the song is produced by battlecat (according the the vault here on dubcnn).

Do you even know what mastering is? Do you have any idea how complicated and technical that process is? People go to school for years to learn that stuff, then apprentice and even then the best have a natural talent for it. It's an art, not some button you press or something.

Suge didn't do anything artistic, he handled all business matters.

I like it...Not mind-blowing, but it's a memorable track, especially since they tried to create a catchy commercial track and still made it sound smooth.
