Would the Chronic 2001 even be what it was without Scott Storch and Mel-Man?

[I love Latina women]

These 2 cats were just as important to Dre's sound in 99' as Warren G, Colin Wolfe and Chris The Glove were to The Chronic in 92'. Now I'm not saying Dre couldn't still come up with some dope shyt without them, but these albums wouldn't be what they are without these guys.

Now I know Mel-Man ain't did much else since the Chronic 2001 days but he can always say he put in some great work on the Chronic 2001.

Hell no

It would have been another aftermath compilation.

I love how people claim to have inside knowledge on the creation of albums. Any information we have is given by someone with a specific agenda. A lot of jealousy of top producers especially Kanye and Dre and people making claims they have absolutely zero ability to back up.

 

[FeloniousMonk]

Yes.

For the fact he could have found another piano player and beat maker..

WIthout Dre's instruction, insight and vision..thats all they are..

Check the liner notes breh.

Nope. He picked them for a reason. They are integral parts of the sound of that album. Dre put it all together, but what tuey developed together wouldn't be the same if Mel Man or Storch was missing from what they contributed too. Dre brought the best out of both.

Not saying they weren’t involved. No one would dispute that they were present and I am not disparaging them in any way. What their actual contributions were however is pure hearsay.

It wouldn't be what it was without dre. storch and Mel man and def played a huge part. Dre directed and orchestrated them to what he wanted without that direction and the sounds he chose it def wouldn't be what it was. it wouldn't be what it is without any of em just with dre as the main force.

 

[El Jefe]

Better question is what have storch or. Mel man done since 2001

Scott Storch had a run as a super producer Breh.

 

[Turbulent]

The way i see it, Dre could have found other collaborators and make a very dope album/maybe a classic with a different sound (he's done it a few times in his career). I'm not sure mel-man could have done it. Not taking away from them but it is what it is. Maybe storch could have if he was more focused.

But none of the beats were anywhere near the level of anytning on 2001

 

[3rdWorld]

He had no use for them to be honest. We wanted the OG team that we trust and know, not new people..Daz, Warren, D.O.C etc.
Infact 2001 was not a good project, based on the calibre of music he had previously released.

 

[Billy Ocean]

Yes.

For the fact he could have found another piano player and beat maker..

WIthout Dre's instruction, insight and vision..thats all they are..

Yea, like it's that easy. Storch himself is a very uniquely talented dude. You not JUST finding another piano player and beatmaker.

Only one I can think of now is Lean Back :prodigylol:
