The OG fly girl song was catchy and fun. I Know What Girls Like sampling it damn near note for note in 1997 was garbage

Man even when this clown works with good producers like Al and Just Blaze he picks their worst shyt :unimpressed:
I think a lot of Em beats...would sound better if Em didn't have them.

Like the stench of what he does over them is so burned into our minds that we don't know what they would sound like with others on them.

Didn't notice until someone made a "big bang" vs "relapse" thread.

This was the one that made me feel like Premier was just giving anything to people around that time:


I can see why someone might say Pop Shots but I always liked it.
:manny:
But a lot of his post Owners/2003 beats do have a lazy/something's missing feel. Not sure exactly what they're missing, but something is different about them. They aren't drastically different from the '98 through '02 era, but they feel slightly less finishing or something.

Someone in here said he stopped using hi-hats, so maybe it's that? :jbhmm:

alot of shyt people naming is on the artist more for picking that

and the producers can be blamed on the flipside for even including that in the pack they sent

as much as JMT was weak on black album
the other beats listed that went to AMG or whoever didnt fit the vibe of Black Album at all
you gotta at least try to pick stuff that matches the vibe of your entire album

the just blaze and eminem shyt is the opposite
eminem is looking for a specific sound ... but you gotta not give him that type of shyt if you dont want him to use it
like that havoc beat sounds nothing like him, I just wouldnt have given him that shyt at all. Thats on the producer for sending it through
Id only send you shyt I wanted you to use

Well the less you send in a pack the lower the chance for a placement, so as a producer I understand.

A lot of times the weaker beats we make we have a specific type of artist in mind for, are just finishing it because we put too much time into, or are experimenting with a concept, but we put it in the pack anyway because you never know if it'll get placed. :hubie:

thats 100% true and part of another whole point

the timbaland argument goes with exactly what you just posted
I've seen him sit there with his jug of water and bang beats out ... some good and some not
but I wouldnt necessarily say he is "off" like most people are putting, because at the end of the day, he's selling whatever people are buying
I would actually be more excited for someone to pay me average price on a beat I didnt want, so I could save the heat.

Yeah that happens. The more you produce the more you realize that artists don't know that much about music, just being honest. And at least in my case, I ain't planning to hop on the beats myself so I'd rather them pick one of my wack beats than no beats at all. So take the guap and keep it moving. :manny:

conquering north korea for nice tight asian p*ssy


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 fukking song damn near killed all my hype for oxymoron before it dropped :francis:

I think this was an issue for the whole album tho. Pre release he was previewing mad tracks that were apparently meant for the album with flying lotus production and it was rumored nikka mightve gotten something from Dre but none of it ended up on the album :snoop:
