Yella co-produced EVERY song. This is a fact. A lot of the samples he did and he made beats too. Yella was no slouch, admittedly he didn’t love music like Dre or he would have went with him after Ruthless. This is documented.

The Truth
Legends work with other legends regardless of genre. This makes me rethink his entire legacy. How are you turning down Prince, Mike and Stevie? It just shows you aren’t of that cloth. Teddy would never.

Dre retelling stories that he’s already told!
Once again this is old news.

you're correct. I wasn't there and no one else was, but there are a lot of stories out there. Here is a direct quote from Fabian Duvernay who worked at Interscope at the time of the Chronic releaseThis was the perfect set up for all the Dre haters to come out the wood work.
look man, lets say hypothetically he didn't "Produce" the majority of the songs yall love. HE STILL MADE SUPER STARS OUT OF AT LEAST 5 ARTIST in each DECADE! wtf have yall done??!
and also where are these so called "Ghost producers" at now? what's their legacy after working with Dre like MEL MAN??!
gtfoh with this bs, Dre can have all kinds of musicians in a room doing all kinds of sh*t but at the end of the day, HES THE ONE ORCHESTRATING the vision to LIFE! Plus the fact that he's a hell of an engineer. Without Dre, you don't have sh*t!
f*ckin goofies thinking Dre don't do sh*t on some "if i was in a lab with so and so artist" armchair a*S "producers"
Then there was the infamous 2pac interview where he accused Dre of stealing beats from artists and that coincides with a Daz interview in which he states 2pac came to him talking about a beat Dre gave him (My mine made up) and then Pac getting pissed about it once finding out Daz produced it.
Dre is a legend, if he's stealing beats, it's sad to hear. I'm not there to confirm it, but with this many people accusing him of the same thing, you don't think there is some validity to it?

Yells wasn’t doing shyt but scratching, playing the drums sometimes, and splicing tape. Colin Wolfe and Stan the Guitar Man have both said this

No they don't. Prince himself turn down Mike
Different dynamic honestly. Them nikkax are Dre’s predecessors. MJ was Prince’s rival
I dgaf what they said. YELLA SAID EVERY song was him and Dre. Whether Dre did the beat or not. He was a co-producer, whether playing drums, sampling, or whatever. High Powered productions was Dre and Yella and Yella went on to produce other acts such as Bone by himself under his production company. But you tell it. so Dre didnt need Yella? then he didnt need Mel-man either. or Storch, or Elizondo, or many of the other co-producers he worked with. you want to give him all credit for songs with his name on them and now want to give him some sort of credit for turning down working with icons.
That wasn't his context. He said legends.
Plenty of legends don't work with each other.
You think J Cole would work with Madonna??

He was definitely a hip hop fan & really liked Public Enemy & KRS-One. He even rapped himself lol
