he was in the world class wreckin' crew and produced there, then broke new ground with n.w.a. and produced all those ruthless albums durin' his time on the label, then popularized a new sound with the chronic and doggystyle and had a label with death row records, then left there and formed his own label and came back and helped put eminem on the map with a new album himself (chronic 2001)

dr. dre done flipped the script like 3 times in hip hop

what other producer can really say they've had the run he has?

would you say he's the greatest?

I dont know...

Dre's artists usually carry the production. Dre, I wanna say, is only as good as who is delivering his shyt on the mic. One of the rare producers who constantly struck gold on having a unique talent for most of his projects. U understand what I mean?

yeah, i hear you. but i think it goes both ways. he's admitted that his artists brings out the best in him but i also think he brings the best out of them. i think it's because dre pushes himself to limit when it comes to his work and sets a bar for himself and expects nothin' but the best from all parties involved

he's got the quite the ear for hearin' and knowin' talent when he sees it and i think it influences him but at the same time, he knows how to take that talent, mold it into somethin' even greater than what already was. know what i mean?

yeah, somewhat...

But..lets take Timbaland for instance. He could give a scrub like Magoo a banger and make him listenable. Dre doesnt have that ability.

well all you said was " He could give a scrub like Magoo a banger and make him listenable. Dre doesnt have that ability." so my point was just to point out that he did that with knocturnal. those songs might not have done big numbers but that's not what the initial statement was about :ld:

Real talk. What about metro. Of course he ain't the greatest. But when we look back at this time period one can't deny his influence.

How will history remember metro boomin? How will history remember his contemporaries?

I think history will forget all the trap producers except Mike will and metro.

Whatchu think?

metro and mike will came up as zaytoven clones until they started experimenting with different sounds

Well, I should say, I dont think they were even really good songs Knocturnal was on. Certainly not better than records Magoo was on..

I think best is between rza and and premo. Because they have, to me, the most individual songs that bang with different artist.

Too difficult to decipher what Dre actually produced.

And I got zaytoven in my top five
