My #1 work out track :yes:


Preach brotha preach. I keep tryna tell nygga that Dre got a lot of help from other producers to make beats. Let's not forget Fred Wreck, Mike Elizondo, Daz, scott storch, the llist goes on. Dre was/is a damn good mixer and engineer/composer tho
That's what you need, unless you are just flipping samples and adding drums or using Fruity loops or some other basic shyt.
Dr. Dre actually uses real instruments, re-flips the whole sample with his own instruments and mad different things that no one else does besides Kanye West in his later days.

It's impossible to do that on your own, unless you wanna spend months to make one beat and in order to be able to drop that beat in 1 month you need to know at least 10-15 instruments and know all the different computer programs and whatnot. Dr. Dre is a real producer, he's not just a beatmaker, but trust that he can make a beat the simple way like these other producers. That has just not been his thing since the mid 90s and the money rolled in >>

But dre used so many samples on the chronic. Straight looped samples, not replayed by instruments. Go back and listen t the chronic and see how many Parlament/george clinton songs Dre took. The whole parlament/funk sound gave birth to g-funk

Funny thing is that neither "California Love" and "Can't C Me" were intended to be 2Pac records. "California Love" was originally a Dre solo track and "Can't C Me" was supposed to be for a Cube/Dre album, then once that was scrapped it was supposed to be on Dogg Food. Since it didn't make the cut on Dogg Food, Pac rapped over it and wound up making AEOM.

And back then he had no co-producers, his lil protege Daz got 1 or 2 co-productions but that was that and on Doggystyle daz was more incorporated maybe 3-4 beats that time. And all that training led him to be able to produce Dogg Food on his own, even though Dre mixed and exec produced the whole thing.
Or has there been anything relevant alleged that denies this?

My point was Dre's earlier style was the "simple" style, which didn't require more than 1 person, but his post Death Row style was on some next level shyt.
Similar to how Kanye went from the simple style (a lot more simple than Dres simple style) with sample flips and all that to that other shyt where some tracks could have like 30 different instrumentalists, arrangers, co-producers and vocalists like All Of the lights.

:skip: you want to praise someone for recording music instead of using samples when that's what everyone does in every genre but rap

even in rap if you're not sampling you're recording new music, it doesn't matter if it comes from plugins or modules instead of physical instruments

there's nothing ill about re-recording samples (interpolating) cuz you're not writing new music

You trippin'. There have been allegations in the past that Dre was taking credit for tracks he aint produce over at death row. Dr. Dre is just a brand at this point, we don't know what records he really produced.

Shut the fukk up fool, who said what I prefer or don't prefer? Or what type of production I praise and don't praise? :damn:

Your reading comprehension is really awful. It's easier for ONE MAN to flip samples & add drums or make up something in FL Studio than it is for ONE MAN to do the other thing.

Please don't ever quote me again.

I agree with what u are saying. But all I'm sayin is that Dre gets a little too much credit for beats. I'm not sayin Dre isn't a legend. But sometimes a bit overhyped

:umad:

your Dre slobbing talmbout how he re-records samples unlike most other producers indicates that you think this is a higher level of making music

how is remaking a sample any harder than making a sample beat in FL Studio

cats can remake samples with nothing but a keyboard and FL Studio
you really think you need co-producers for that? :skip:

Dre brings a sample to a co-producer
Asks him to replay a chord progression / melody from it so they can start making a new beat
Co-producer replays the sample

BUT CATS CAN'T DO THAT BY THEMSELVES THO :bryan:
even though the co-producer just did :stopitslime:
