Title: Dre's most famous beat?
Post by: Larrabee on December 09, 2005, 07:52:02 PM
He's had many. What would ya'll consider to be his most famous beat of all-time? One that damn near everyone has heard and that had the most crossover appeal?

I'm going with "In Da Club"

In the interview that Dre did with Scratch Magazine, he was asked a question along the lines of, "How do you know when you have a "Billie Jean" type record?".

I figured since many consider Dre to be the Quincy Jones of rap, "In Da Club" is to Dre what "Billie Jean" was to Quincy Jones in terms of biggest hit records.

Nothing But A G Thang beat might be a famous one but i dont even consider it his good beat cause its just a damn sample with drums that he added + a synth

still d.r.e. and in da club are very big hits
however in da club is pretty simple

still d.r.e in terms of complexity

Post by: Bigg Playa T on December 11, 2005, 11:04:05 AM
Nothin But a G' Thang has to be the most famous beat.  This beat is known worldwide and hell most of you parents probably would recognize the track themselves from the first few chords when the song begins.  It is a sample of Leon Haywood's "I wanna do something freaky to you" but G' Thang as to be Dre's most famous track.  The track influenced west coast music from the time it was released for a whole decade or more.  But in my opinion "Been there, Done that" is his best.  I listen to the instrumental every now and then and I am astounded by the chords, background vocals/wailing and number of instruments used in the track.  It is the most complex hip hop track I have ever heard; a masterpiece.

Most of ya'll picked famous tracks, which is cool...but I meant beats in terms of damn near everyone knowing it and recognizing it. Statistically, "In Da Club" is the most successful Dre-produced song of all-time. I didn't necessarily mean a Dre solo-joint, I just meant instrumental.

Aside from In Da Club, I'm going with G-Thang, California Love, Still D.R.E...mainly the big hits. Side note* as far as charts and numbers go, the second biggest Dre joint of all-time was Mary J's "Family Affair".
