Is Dr Dre one of the most overrated producers of all time?

[Barney Rubble]

So the dude that made Straight Outta Compton, Eazy Duz It, No One Can Do It Better, efil4zaggiN, The Chronic, Doggystyle, and Chronic 2001 is overrated?

 

[Low End Derrick]

Beat makers? Maybe.

Producers? Absolutely not.

 

[Knucklehead]

This has gotta be the dumbest topic that’s continually brought up.

 

[L $ C]

yuck thread. stop making trash threads!

if it was as a simple as dre taking credit other albums would sound as good...nothing ever sounded like cronic NWA or 2001

 

[Metal Face]

yes

he's a goat though

 

[Grand_Verbalizer]

Disagree with the thread title but OP is correct in saying Dre got credit for sounds he didn't create.

Above The Law were doing g-funk before it was actually called g-funk. And if you listen to "efil4zagginN" it was obviously heavily influenced by that sound.

I always saw Dopeman as one of the foundational bricks of g-funk

I mean the sample is one of the most popular in the sub-genre

You mean "Funky Worm" I assume?

Eh, a few people were sampling (Breed, PMD, AMG, etc.) that so I wouldn't consider it g-funk. I get what you mean though.

EDIT:

Never realized how many people sampled this sh*t.

i'd also throw Relapse in there, from a strictly production standpoint that was a hell of an effort

DJ Yella helped produced that song and a lot of other NWA songs

Why do you think his sound changed when he went to Death Row

You all dikk ride people for so long you develop MAGA mentality

 

[Love Sosa]

No, he has one of if not the most timeless catalogues in hip hop.

 

[Budda]

Yes because people think he is worlds above Warren G

 

[Sean7]

His beats from 1988 until like 1995 were GOAT tier

he had a nice comeback from 1999 until like 2004. I cant remember any Dre beats i hated outside of some that were on Encore.

Dre from 2005 all the way until now is kinda hit or miss tho

Most overrated? No

THIS......

 

[Sean7]

Overrated no probably not but did he have a lot of help at times? Probably. I agree since 05 he has been very hit or miss (Miss a lot of times) but in his prime dude was a problem. Chronic and 2001 are masterpieces but as you said he had help I am sure on quite a few songs.

 

[bigde09]

Dre has a signature sound that you just know it was him. a bouncy beat with hard drums.







No one can really replicate this sound as well as him on their own. Not Daz, Mel Man, Scott Storch etc
