Title: Dr. Dre's smoothest beat?
Post by: Will_B on February 06, 2012, 01:31:52 PM
Dre's hardest beats are always celebrated...

What about the smooth shit? No lazy neo soul/jazz inspired stuff, I mean plain and simple smooth as butter production..

Could it be this?

The remix is genius.

Amazing how the beat is so smooth, but brings out the drama of the song.
The instro compliments the vocal perfectly...that fusion and 'un cluttered' sound actually makes the lyrics hit home with extra weight IMO.

- Nas - Nas Is Coming
- King Tee - Big Ballin' (Playin' To Win)

I suppose Bitch Niggaz is quite a smooth beat as well.

E
They're hip hop drums...  Smooth jazz uses drum machines. Real jazz uses live drums. It's not comparable. That Chris botti trac is a top notch smooth jazz.

na, Dre never fucked wit Jazz (n def not neo-soul), n never interpolated elements in his own music (save for a sample on "Deep Cover").  those Burt Bacharach songs are just collabos, Dre on the drummachine - wish we had more of that, cuz u can put his drums to good use wit Jazz-fusion n smooth jazz. if anything, that would be a good route for him today

smooth jazz is closer to hip-hop than classic jazz is. and yea, peeps rarely use live drums in jazz anymore. drum machines drastically changed music as we once knew it. most music used to be played live back in the days. not anymore.

Nic said 'Smooth' Jazz only allows use of Drum Machines. I said I didn't know they exclusively use em in this 'sub genre', and not live drums too.

Didn't even bring Trad Jazz into it.
