Bro I don't know who u think u talkin to but I'm WELL versed in the hip hop and industry recording process and I'm a producer,artist and engineer myself. I own a studio.
no.so is dr. dre like dj khaled?
I doubt they were all daz, none of his stuff post Deathrow sounded that goodBeats by Dre....
On a more serious note, Daz's production on those early Deathrow albums....![]()

I didn't say Daz produced everything and I'm not claiming to know all the facts. I'm just saying how many times have you heard of Dre getting credit for work someone else did. Tha Dogg Food was produced entirely by Daz and thats a great album production wise. It would be no surprise to me that he had some input on other projects that Deathrow released but never got his due. The nikka produced "Ambitionz Az A Ridah" , "I Aint Mad Atcha" , shyt on the Above The Rim soundtrack and Murder Was The Case soundtrack/

Just give a nikka some credit!

I don't have a misunderstood idea of what a record producer is. I've been around legendary producers bro. And Ive spoken to artists who worked with Dre about his process. It's hard to even get that nikka in the studio. Lol. I'm not sayin Dre was never a creator. What I'm saying is Dre ain't been like that in a minute. My problem ain't even wit Dre tryna be a "traditional" producer. My problem is wit the nikka taking full credit for beats he barely had ANYTHING to do wit. It's not like he was in the studio directing cats like "I want u to play this. And I want u to play that". This nikka will get a full ready made beat. Mix it down. Add a few bells and whistles and with barely any changes and now it's his beat. shyt. Michael Jackson got into it with Quincy Jones who's a traditional producer in every sense of the word for doin that same shyt.You're trying to play with a fallacy here, it's like a reverse ad-hominem or true-scotsman argument
I don't know where you fall along the spectrum and I'm not going to infer but there's plenty of people who've been working in a studio for 20 years and don't know a thing about music business beyond selling their own services, that's business but it isn't music business just because you're dealing with music. I'm not saying that's you but saying that you work in a studio doesn't automatically add any credibility to your obviously misunderstood idea of what a record producer is. The average person who sells studio services is working with are people who know next to nothing about the music business . . we're probably talking less than 2% of the studio services business going toward people who are actually involved in the music industry and the other 98% are dealing with dreamers
no.

why am i not surprised?
man, dre had too many cooks in the kitchen for him to be greatest then. he's always had a co producer with him. 1st it was yella, then it was daz, then it was sam sneed, bud'da, mel-man, scott storch, mahogany, focus, hi-tek, mark baston etc etc etc
dre's lane is the mixin'. but when it come to beats, it's other nikkas doin' the beats and he just comin' in and cleanin' them up
and while dr. dre might be a producer in the traditional sense, in hip hop, a producer means the nikka who makes the beats
this makes me think back to when suge was interviewed by rolling stone and he was sayin' daz was the one doin' the beats for doggystyle
