Dr. Dre is the greatest hip hop producer of all time. Hands down. Nothing overrated about him

big facts :myman:

its revisionist history, nobody was saying Dre was overrated till he dropped Compton and then Missionary

his work up to then was exemplary

Yessir :salute::myman:

Truth be told, he could’ve run off in the sunset after 2001

He proved all the naysayers and haters wrong

and I'm sure if he ended up releasing Detox in the late 2000's it would have turned out to be a classic or at least very close

I heard enough beats from that project to make that conclusion

I think if he would’ve dropped Detox somewhere around 2005, it would’ve worked

Yeah the few beats I heard from that era had were nice


I always liked that beat he gave Obie Trice for “The Set Up”

Premo is my GOAT but not mad at anyone picking Dre or RZA.

Just look at Preem's resume. This dude was producing albums non-stop. Gang Starr, Jeru, Krs, Group Home, M.O.P. classic remixes left and right, poppin up on classic Jay-Z and Nas records etc etc etc. I tried making a best of Premo one day and stopped at like 100 tracks :russ:

I agree to an extent. He's very good at what he does but the no ghost producers is far from accurate. And a LOT of 2001 is Mel-Man.

Yes he polishes stuff up and produces them to their full potential but Dre's whole camp is full of people accepting submissions, stealing the work, adding to it and fukking over the people actually putting the initial work in. I'm a massive Dre fan but I can't deny what I've learned, it taints the legacy somewhat.

Dre as a mucical visionary and producer is a long gone concept. Unknowns are regularly submitting work which he doesn't always do a lot of work to but takes 100% of the credit (and money) for.
