But they got credits. In what world would a producer play beats in front of an audience, tell you they are submissions, and then give himself credit. Come on.
This is one of the biggest reasons why I even joined forums because people were sold on this idea that anyone who did co production work was actually responsible for the entire production. You had people thinking Mel Man and Scott Storch were making beats for Dre. People discredited Dre's entire existence. Did the same with Timbaland saying Danja made all those beats. Then when you look at what these guys accomplished on their own l, it doesn't compare to what they did when they worked with a Timbaland or Dre. Why?
And the goofiest part about it, the people who say these co-producers did all the work, never even checked for their work like that prior or even after. And the goofiest part about it, they are silent when they see a Dre or Timbaland on a co-production or additional production and never claim they did all the work. Same goofs will talk about how great of a producer Pharrell is and will go as far as call a full on Neptunes production a Pharrell track knowing full well it was Pharell AND Chad.
