Terrible or underwhelming beats by big producers

[Metal Face]

more recently


not awful but very meh for the first Nas x Pete Rock collab since Illmatic

 

[FunkDoc1112]

This fukking garbage right here:



Made me turn No Mercy off instantly.

 

[Alvin]

easily Pharrell worst production. Q usually has a good ear for beats so idk how he picked that dog shyt


Also, a lot of shyt Dre made post death row/pre 2001 is ass also

this beat was dope and crazy to me

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Wow that T.I. song STINKS

 

[Sccit]

Anything from Dre in 96-98 was mediocre to zzzzzzzzzzzz

SMH....

I'm 100% certain that Alchemist sent him a bunch of beats and Eminem was like when he heard that one and nothing else.

Dre also had some bad beats on this album.



I thought "Untitled" was cool. But "Welcome 2 Hell" was better.

Eminem taking shytty beats from highly regarded producers is a tradition. Just Blaze would know:

STEPDAD IS A SOLID BEAT, ALMOST A VINTAGE EM JOINT IF THE CHORUS WAS LESS ANNOYING.....

ALL OF DRE’S BEATS ON THAT ALBUM WERE DOPE BTW

THE JOINT WIT ANDERSON PAAK

I rushed to listen to the track below because it was a new Nas song produced by The Neptunes. It was 2003, everything they touched at the time was guaranteed fire, but we got this atrocity:



Any time I saw a Timbaland credit, I knew it would be instant replay status, the song below wasn't it:



I'm still waiting on the beat to drop on Jay Z's "Off That" while we're at it.

THAT WAS STANDARD FOR WHAT NEPTUNES WAS DROPPIN AT THE TIME......

BUT YEA, THAT TIMBO BEAT IS PRETTY BASIC FOR HIM

 

[Sccit]

PRETTY STANDARD PREMO BEAT.. NOT BAD AT ALL TBH

 

[Sccit]

Dre on Kingdom Come

BEATS ON THERE WERE CRISP, THAT ALBUM IS UNDERRATED

 

[Sccit]

A LOT of Dr. Dre stuff post 2005. He had two TERRIBLE beats for T.I., that I Need A Doctor song with Em as well

I NEED A DOCTOR WAS ALEX DA KID

WHAT TI BEATS WAS TERRIBLE?

 

[Sccit]

Timbaland was hot trash post 01 until he revived his career with Justin/nelly. Then he almost killed it with bp3. His hip hop beats have always been sus that’s why I don’t get the Pharrell/Timbaland debate

SMH

 

[Sccit]

JUSTIFY MY THUG IS A DOPE BEAT

JAY JUST DIDNT ROCK IT THE WAY A WEST COAST RAPPER WOULDA

THROW SOME WESTSIDE CONNECTION ON THAT MUTHAFUCCA AND U GOT A CLASSIC

 

[prophecypro]

In retrospect that threat beat on the black album was weak. I’m one of the few who loves the justify my thug beat. It’s futuristic and unique. Bangs in the whip just as hard as PSA.

When the Black Album had like a billion remix albums, 9th did one himself and re did the beat he did for Threat with such a better beat It made the other pale in comparison I forgot the orignal

 

[prophecypro]

they all got em, but most named will be just failed collabs between 2 artists. RZA stole a check from Guitar Center, thats not a published piece of music lol

this? this was a grade A tease, because there was heavy Premier-Nas smoke around this time



what.the.hell.was.THAT?

Nas "expirementing" aka purposely avoiding what his fans want.

That Re-Generation track was made for some weird commercia/advertsmentl project that Hyundai did where they asked a bunch of artists and producers to collaborate with a symphony orchestra who had classical scores and work over them (Hence the whole title of it)
If I remember the behind the scenes of how it was put together (Cause they put up a behind the scenes thing on it) Preem listened to the orchestra perform the score live, just added drums and scratches and then gave it to Nas to rap on. He wasnt even allowed to chop it up and flip it up because you had to hear orchestra and then he just played it for Nas who could only rap on that.


In other words it wasnt a serious track and it wasnt like he sat there and had a choice of beats to pick
