Only three white hip-hop producers with certified hits under their belts are Rick Rubin, Alchemist and Scott Storch :yeshrug: and I'm talking producing the joints not adding a random noise on some puffy shyt.
Didn't Scott Storch do the same things Mike does tho? Not producing the whole thing but adding an instrument to a song

He addded added live instrumention on Scarface's The Diary and Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy but he seemed to think that he's responsible for those records. His solo productions are dull and over produced for the most part. He's at his best when be utilized as a Instrumentalist/Additonal Producer by someone actually has vision (Kanye, NO Joe etc)

So other than that nothing much... :mjlol:

Art is subjective, we talking hip hop than we talking about a genre of music which annexed influences and makes references to shyt rooted in other cultures, shyt that isn't predominantly/ uniquely AA... The whole culture of sampling would than be cultural appropriation ?? references to mob culture, kung fu movies etc...

Instead of arguing who should make/listen to hip hop, the argument should really be who should own it, and that's no doubt AA's......

No Scott was crafting main melodies not simply replaying samples and tweaking already made beats like Mike does. And Scott also had a huge solo run chocked with career creating hits Mike piggybacks off other black producers

Sounds like he's overcompensating out of insecurity...or it touched a nerve...

There's no doubt that Mike Dean's catalog speaks for itself and he doesn't need to prove shyt to anyone. So why claim that "half the black music u love" is made by him? He should just reply with his Discogs or Wikipedia page

Also, he's one of those "celebs" that feels the need to reply to every hater and troll as if he's on the marketing team. Dude, you're in the studio with great artists making hits....GTFO social media and enjoy the fruits of your labor....leave that shyt to us lol

This isn't the first time this has happened. He gets pissed everytime someone says Hip Hop is black music.
