2. So you're saying Dre needs the validation at the expense of being called out on it later.
3. What beats did these guys create that sound like their productions with Dre before they produced anything with Dre.
2. I wasn't, but i'll agree to that.
3. Ask Dre. lol
2. You said ""everybody thinks I made this beat instead of ______". If he credits someone as a co-producer or even leaves the person un-credited, it's counterproductive to his brand. It doesn't help him at all if he works with an artist who wants a similar sound that he can't re-create.
3. I'm talking about their work on other people's projects before they started working with Dre.
2. Maybe it doesn't, because you don't believe Emmanuel Dean or Daz when they say they were uncredited, or other
people who say this.
3. Again, ask Dre. Why would the great Dr. Dre want to work with a relative unknown producer?
2. Un-credited for what exactly?
3. Not evryone that he's worked with was relatively unknown. Mark Batson had a name for himself producing for India Arie and Anthony Hamilton before he linked up with Dre. Scott Storch co-produced The Roots' breakthrough "You Got Me" before working with Dre.
2. As many threads as there are about such and such being un-credited for this or that, there's also one's that debunk them. The artists/producer making the claim either took it back or someone else close to the projects said otherwise.
3. Relatively unknown definitely isn't co-producing a song like "You Got Me" off of The Roots' biggest album or working with artists like India Arie or Anthony Hamilton in the early '00's. Those were pretty big placements.
2. ...which brings us back to the ear test. Again, i've heard enough Mel-Man, Glove Taylor, and Bud'da beats to know what they added to a "Dr. Dre" beat.
3. Compared to Dr. Dre, they were unknown. That's what "relative" means.
