DRE 2001 - WRITERS/PUBLISHERS CREDITS..

[Rud]

RITE..

I WAS FLICKIN THRU THE 2001 BOOKLET AND NOTICED SOME THINGS..

WE ALWAYS QUIBLE OVER WRITING OF TRACKS ON THIS ALBUM (THIS MAY HAVE BEEN DONE B4 - I CANT REMEMBER)

BUT....

ALTHOUGH WRITERS ARE NOT DIRECTLY CREDITED IN THE CREDITS!

IF YOU LOOK AFTER EACH TRACKS 'ENGINEERING' CREDITS THERE IS A LIST OF ARTISTS AND THEIR PUBLISHING GROUPS (I.E - THE GROUPS THAT CONTROL THE LEGAL AND FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF THINGS U WRITE - IN THIS CASE A SONG

I DECIDED 2 WRITE DOWN ALL THE ARTISTS (SOME NAMES - IN BRACKETS - IM NOT 100% ON SO PLEASE FEEL FREE 2 LIST WHO THEY ARE IN YOUR REPLIES)
TO SEE WHO WROTE WHAT

ORIGINALLY I THOUGHT THE PUBLISHING WRITES WERE JUST FOR THE APPEARENCE ON THE TRACK - HOWEVER - SOME APPEARENCES DONT MATCH THE PUBLISHING CREDITS AND VICE-VERSA - ENCLINING ME 2 BELIEVE THAT THEY R THE WRITERS CREDITS

U MAY AGREE OR DISAGREE JUST HOPED THIS WOULD CLEAR ANY MIS-CONCEPTIONS THERE WERE! (PLUS I WAS BORED!)

2) The Watcher - Dre & Eminem

3) Fuck You - Dre, Snoop & (D. Copeland??)

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

FINALLY - WHAT BROUGHT ME 2 VIEW THE CREDITS IN THE FIRST PLACE!

ALL TRACKS EXCEPT 'THE MESSAGE' CREDIT THE PUBLISHING WRITES OF WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE THE 'WRITERS'

WE KNOW ROYCE WROTE 'THE MESSAGE' - BUT HE WASNT CREDITED IN THE BOOKLET!

ANYWAY THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THIS WAS 2 DISPLAY THE WRITERS AND CLEAR ANYTHING UP!

8 months back I posted the writing credits for "Dr. Dre 2001."  It's somwhere around in these archives.  Producers do get writing credits because they write the song as track writers aka producers.  I'll post them again...

[BL7]

Isn't M. Bradford hittman? I'm almost certain it is...  

[Murrow]

Here are just the writing credits...the first artists listed is the one who wrote Dre's verse.

The Watcher - Written by Eminem

Fuck You - Written by Hittman, Snoop Dogg and Devin

Still D-R-E - Written by Jay-Z (Snoop didn't shit jack)

Big Egos - Written by Hittman

Xxplosive - Written by Hittman, Kurupt, Nate Dogg, Six-Two

What's The Difference - Written by Eminem and Xzibit

Light Speed - Written by Hittman

The Next Episode - Written by Hittman and Snoop

Let's Get High - Written by Eminem, Hittman, Kurupt and Ms. Roq

Bitch Niggaz - Written by Snoop Dogg, Hittman and Six-Two

Murder Ink - Written by Hittman and Ms. Roq

Some L.A. Niggaz - Written by Hittman, Knoc-turn'al, Xzibit, Defari, King Tee and Time Bomb

Housewife - Written by The D.O.C., Hittman and Kurupt

Ackrite - Written by Hittman

Bang Bang - Written by Eminem, Knoc-turn'al and Hittman

The Message - Written by Royce Da 5-9

I think I'm very accurate...just look @ the credits, and listne to the songs.  You can easily pick up Em's and Hitt's writing styles.

RUD...I we pretty much agree.

[Murrow]

Isn't M. Bradford hittman? I'm almost certain it is...  

Melvin Bradford = Mel-Man

Brian Baily = Hittman

Peace....I'm a regular on this board, I don't post alot, but i read alot....

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

Dre gets Publishing credit only because he writes (Produces, or Co-Produces) the beats (Same with Mel also)...


Royce wasnt credited because of the beef...
