I don't agree Premier is to blame for Rage's album being lackluster.To me Premo is to Necessary Roughness what Quik is to All Eyez On Me (or even Dre to Dogg Food for that matter) his mixing made the sound of the album consistent.The Daz beats on that record were mostly top notch shit, and I really think Premier is the reason.
Daz disappointed me as well

He didn't disappoint me, and I think his beats were good due to Premier's mixing, that's what I'm saying :]

Dre hasn't made a dope beat in 7 years and since 2001 all his beats have sounded the same and you cats talking smack about premo.  I didn't even turn this into a who is better than who.  The Dre dickriders got butt hurt when I said Nas sounds better over Premo beats.

if you're accusing someone of having a double standard, then how about setting an example first, Tommyboy :-*

I'll agree Nas has classics over Premo, "Nas Is Like" over any Dre/Nas track, although "Phone Tap" is up there! But Premo been on the same sound for almost 15 years, Dre continually elevating. Aint dropped a hot beat in 7 years? That's just blatant hating homie

^a nerve was hit when his idol was criticised  ;D

truth is, Premier isn't even on the level that Dre was in the NWA days.
let Premier throw in more live instruments and then we'll talk.

Action!

I always viewed Premier as hands-on and less outsiders being involved where as Dr.Dre is less hands-on and more of him coaching outsiders to develop the sound he desires.  I don't even try to compare the two because it's not like they're trying to do the same style.  Premier is that New York hip-hop shit while Dre started off in disco, evolved to g-funk, moved beyond that to more traditional hip-hop, and such.   Most classic Dre beats are co-produced, can that be said for Premier?
Cool breeze; I'm hopping out of new Beams
My outfit ran me a few G's but none of that will matter if you leave
I used to be an Adam with two Eves and shawtys automatically do me
Excuse me, all that happened before you doesn't matter
I'm a vision of the future climbing the success ladder
Recline, in the mean time, twenty three shine, diamond bling blind as I rewind
