What's the :dwillhuh: about?

You do know he had a stable of ghost writers/producers throughout the years.

He's not solely responsible for all his hits


GHOST WRITERS, YES.. BUT HE NEVER HID THAT

GHOST PRODUCERS, NOT EVEN CLOSE… GHOST PRODUCED FOR OTHERS, SURE, BUT DRE IS THE PRIME DEFINITION OF A PRODUCER. CATS LIKE SCOTT STORCH N DAZ WERE DRE’S INSTRUMENTS. STORCH WAS A GLORIFIED SESSION PLAYER AND DAZ CAME UP WIT SOME CONCEPTS WHILE LEARNING UNDER DRE AS A TOTAL AMATEUR WIT NO MUSICAL BACKGROUND .. NEITHER OF EM COULD HOLD DRE’S JOCKSTRAP WITOUT HIM PRODUCING THEIR SHIIT.

Now I'm giving you the :dwillhuh:

Dre did hide it, Daz & others had to fight for their credits. Stuff also came to light during the Quik 'Truth Hurts' lawsuit

Daz, some concepts? Who you think did most of Doggystyle and his own group? Including some Pac stuff with Johnny J

Quik already had a name & was producing his own acts

Storch was getting his feet wet with the Roots, but made contributions

Why do you think Dre struggled when he put out The Aftermath after leaving DR? He didn't have his 'session players'

Even Eminem had the Bass Brothers & D Porter doing a lot of his stuff

LMAO

DAZ LITERALLY ONLY CONTRIBUTED TO ONE SONG ON DOGGYSTYLE- AINT NO FUN. DAZ IS A KNOWN LIAR WHO HASNT COME CLOSE TO HIS WORK UNDER DRE SINCE LEAVING HIS CORNER..IN FACT, DRE GHOST PRODUCED MOST OF DOGG FOOD AND ONLY GOT CREDITED FOR MIXING. EVEN POST-DRE, DAZ HAS ALWAYS NEEDED A LEGIT MUSICIAN ON HIS SIDE TO MAKE DOPE BEATS (SOOPAFLY, MIKE DEAN, DJ QUIK, ETC)

WTF DID QUIK “GHOST PRODUCE” FOR DRE? THE ONLY SONG THEY EVER PRODUCED TOGETHER GOT CREDITED TO DRE.. ON A DJ QUIK ALBUM! AND QUIK SAID DRE GHOST PRODUCED “ADDICTIVE” FOR HIM, WHICH IS ONE OF QUIK’S BIGGEST HITS

GET YA FACTS STRAIGHT HOMIE

Quik has an unorthodox flow.

His most recognizable artist (suga free) also has an unorthodox flow (and I'm speaking as a fan).

Dre had a basic but straight forward flow for most of his career. And produced Cube, Snoop, Em, 50, Kendrick who all have decent to great flows.

Flow and voice is a big part of what makes songs catchy. Again, not saying Suga free or quik have bad flows. But they are definitely an acquired taste.

There's also probably politics and Quik's reputation...
