Dre "didn't come with no big records on there or nothing like that, except for Phone Tap and a couple of other joints"

Dre only did like 5 joints on that record I believe and Phone Tap was the biggest single of the album lol

Mainly produced by Chris 'The Glove' Taylor. The biggest problem with that album is the production. It's all so disjointed. Should have stuck with the French/Italian samples. '5 Minutes To Flush' stands out as the worst beat on it. Especially since '4 In The Morning' fits the sound 1000x better.

And it's absolutely criminal that this 'The Untouchables' sampling song wasn't on it.

Glove only came wit the idea for the beat on Phone Tap

Dre is the one who produced it and made it a classic

Dre is the most disrespected producer in hip hop

he's a true producer in every sense of the world, while most producers nowadays wouldn't know how to craft a track if their life depended on it

by far the GOAT

If your gauge is commercial success, Dre had a part in producing 8 out of the top 20 best selling rap albums of all time.

If critical success is your gauge, an argument could be made that he was involved in or produced on 15 of the top 100 critically acclaimed rap albums of all time. 

No other producer is touching that.  A person could make an argument that they don't like his sound or the way that he produces, but the results speak for themselves.

Does that seem unusual to you?  Are we only allowed to compare rap albums made the same year?  Someone said there wasn't a single person here who would think any DAZ album is better than any DRE album, I beg to differ.  If you wanna move the goalposts to that argument where the albums have to be from the same year, then so be it.

The thread is about Dre as a producer.  Production wise (or otherwise) none of his albums are touching any of Dre's albums. I don't consider the Contract as an official album, but I would argue that production wise it is still better than any of DAZ's projects (without Dre).

And that is not a knock on Daz.  I love his Revenge Retaliation and Get Back.  Still listen to it, objectively it is not touching any of Dre's albums production wise.

I miss those days when artists used to release a single with the clean version and Instrumental along with the LP version

and then you had the B-Side with the same format

Daz has created some better albums than Dre.  That's all that is being said here.

Sure, i'll give you that.  It takes more than good production to make a good album.  Obviously with Dre's production budget and technology advances, I would hope that album (Compton) sounds better sonically than an album made 20 years prior and was released independently on a small budget (RAW), Dre would look like an absolute fool if it wasn't.  I would argue based on those facts, it's even crazier Daz's RRGB and RAW are better than Compton and The Contract EP when looking at the albums overall and not stictly production.

That and he's surrounded himself with "Yes" men who will not give him an objective opinion on how his stuff sounds because they don't wanna burn bridges because they hope someday Dre laces them with a track.  You look back to every single interview done about Missionary with people from the inside and every one of them said it's groundbreaking, mindblowing, something of a next level quality.  And this is what we ended up with.  Don't get me wrong, it's a nice album.  But no way did it live up to the hype.  Were all these people just clueless?  Did these amazing great cuts they were all talking about not making the final cut?  Or is there something more to this.....?

Sorry, I forgot to add (the last 10 years?)

when comparing artists were speaking of their prime years

nobody says jake paul is a better boxer than mike tyson because he beat him as an old man

Cool, so you admit Daz in his prime is better than Dre has been the last 10 years?

not better, but making the style of music i can feel more, for sure

Yes, so you like Daz's stuff in his prime better than Dre's now.  Daz made better music in his prime than Dre makes now.  I agree with you.

it's more my taste .. 90s gangsta shit .. no doubt

but not better produced objectively speaking

Not sure what my conclusion is after comparing the beats.

The Daz beats are classic, the Dre beats are not, but that doesn't mean I can't like them as much as the Daz beats.

I can't count how many times I've listened to the original all those years from 1985 until Snoop's version in 1993. It's not Snoop's performance I'm complaining about, it's the beat. Has to be the worst beat Dre made during his Death Row period. In case you're wondering, I was born in 1971... so yes old enough to have grown up with the original. I'm not here to argue, it's just my honest opinion.

yeah that is pretty wild ;D

the only negative thing about Doggystyle imo is that even thought every track was classic, it was a couple of songs too short

also it didn't contain a Dre verse

those 2 things could be fixed by keeping Gz Up Hoez Down and Tha Next Episode on the album

Assuming everyone agrees that all the rap albums that Dr. Dre has produced top-to-bottom are classics, there's still a track or two I don't like on each of them.

Eazy-E: Eazy-Duz-it (1988)
-I’mma Break it Down
-Chapter 8 verse 10

N.W.A: Straight Outta Compton (1988)
-I Ain’t the One
-Something 2 dance 2

The D.O.C: No One Can Do it Better (1989)
-Beautiful But Deadly

N.W.A: 100 Miles and Runnin’ (1990)
-Kamurshol / outro (counts or not?)

N.W.A: Niggaz4life (1991)
-One Less Bitch

Dr. Dre: The Chronic (1992)
-The Roach / outro (counts or not?)

Snoop Dogg: Doggystyle (1993)
-Lodi Dodi
-What’s my name

Dr. Dre: Chronic 2001 (1999)
-Let’s Get High

I don't know man...I'm not saying he makes the beats from scratch but he certainly puts it all together by the end

and everything Dre has had his hand in up to maybe 2015 or so was either classic or dope

not feeling his production on Missionary but everything has an expiration date

Dre is a hiphop legend, no doubt about it.  From 87 to today, still doing it, even the staunchest Dre haters have to give him props for the longevity and the amount of hits he's had (whether he's fully produced them or had ghost writers, whatever).

Now, today is he overrated?  Absolutely.  Is the stuff he's producing today the best out there right now?  No, of course not.  Just like is E-40 the best rapper today?  Is Too Short the best rapper today?  No, they aren't.  But they still get their props for being legends, and i still enjoy listening to their songs at times.  Dre is in this category now.

Exactly, plus have you noticed everyone who says Dre stole their beats. stole their lyrics, he has no talent, etc...they all come back to work with him again?  So what's the deal?  Were they lying?  Does Dre really steal your beats and lyrics and you don't care now and you go back to him so he can steal from you again?  What kind of person does that make you?

Examples:
Sam Sneed
RBX
DOC
J-Flexx
DJ Quik
Crooked I

The list goes on and on.....

Dre been stealing beats for 40 plus years and somehow he keeps finding suckers to steal from??....FOR 40 YEARS!  Give me a break.

dre is quincy jones

a lot of the greatest producers use a team of musicians and session players they can orchestrate to achieve their vision.. duno where u got "only dre" from


quik gets praised for being hands on but he did the exact same thing throughout his career with robert bacon, g-one, stan the guitar man etc


timbaland is considered a goat but was constantly getting dissed by idiots for having a team on musicians he utilized regularly


only people who don't understand production diss dre

no

as i heard in an interview (rubin or skyler im not sure) skyler brings the song and chorus. em writes his lyrics and asks rubin to add drums to skyler's piano and produce the song. rubin says "no drums", it feels better this way, just piano and you. thats how the song structure has been decided and produced. sometimes even the vision is producing.
