With the other artists, you have people who claim they didn't get credit for work on Dre-produced songs. Dre was given no production credit on "Love Is Blind" to my knowledge. It's credited to Swizz Beatz. That doesn't mean Dre didn't steal it from Hutch but if he did, he didn't take credit for it. The G-Funk claim seems more over "innovating a style" than specific songs. Hutch said he and Dre worked with each other at Ruthless and Dre borrowed some of his influences without naming him as the innovator. This is a much different claim than saying you gave someone the skeleton for a track and they didn't give you the right credit. Again, this isn't to say that Dre didn't do this with Hutch as well but if he has, Hutch has never cited examples.

Also, at the same time, it's not like the original beats were always as great as they became once Dre worked his magic. Yes, you can absolutely tell that the beats are similar, but the differences are sometimes huge in terms of overall quality. And it's not like a ton of those guys could have done it without Dre... some of them were wise enough to use what they learned and continue their momentum, like Scott Storch. Daz could've, if Death Row didn't fall apart and shit didn't sour between him and Suge so bad.

My favorite examples...WC - Tha StreetzConway - NutcrackaDr. Dre & Snoop - On the BlvdShaunta & Truth Hurts - Benefit of the DoubtMisteeq - ScandalousNas - Got Urself a GunJoe Beast - Gangstathe list goes on.
