That muscle face monke mouth clown need to start selling things out of his home and pay those ppl their money. I am surprised he lasted this long he wasn’t hitting on anything when he was with NWA

I must be in the minority, Dr Dre in my opinion is the foremost music producer in Rap history.

He brought us NWA in the 80′s, which sold a lot of albums and got quite a following for ” not hitting” on anything. NWA was so serious they got mail from the FBI; when you get so big that the FBI addresses you personally…you are a world wide recognizable force. (From NWA we got Ice Cube and Eazy E … Cube brought us The west side connection, while Eazy E brought us acts like Bone thugz N harmony.)

From there, Dre went on in the 90′s to work on Albums for Tupac, Snoop Dogg, The Dogg Pound, Nate Dogg and various movies like The Wash and Friday all Platinum sellers and cultural time markers.

From there, Dr Dre went on in the early 2000′s to bring us 50 Cent and Eminem along with their respective groups. There is hardly anywhere you can go in the rap world without running into this mans influence. He may not be up to par on his bills, but musically the man is a genius, I doubt that anyone in this current generation of artists will have half his staying time or success. People can hate on him but the man got a record that cant be denied.

nah your not in the minority, certain people just don’t know what they are talk’n about!

Yeah I see what you’re saying, but Teddy Riley is the best producer of all time, hands down! His resume puts Dr. Dre’s resume to shame.

I would have thought that Dre had his own studio.

seeing how big dr dre has and is i thought he woulda owned his own studio by now

Damn… I thought Dre owned his own studio… So all this talk was a lie? Damn… And here I was trying to raise enough cash to start my own studio…

Yes, Dre was the dude responsible for the West Coast gangster rap scene and he’s pretty much all they got…

Now, East Coast… They got tons of producers with heavy talent…

Dre had a signature style and you could tell which tunes were Dre’s no matter where you heard them…

And Dre sampled a lot of Sly Stone so Sly Stone should be getting some royalty checks from Dre…

wow did she jus say teddy rileys resume puts dres to shame. lmao. teddy riley is a gd producer but dres resume would kill teddy,s . they did some work together dre produced sum blackstreet.

Yeahhhhhh .. this kinda blew mines .. I figured Dre would have so exclusive s**t hooked up in his basement or something…

would have some***

Was he working on Detox? And damn why all ya’ll on Dre’s dick liek that. This nigga like Puffy w/o the b***hassness but still needs a ghostwriter to write his rhymes.

all these millionaires with all this money that dont know how to pay they bills or taxes is ridiculous

@ AfricanSpeech Dre may be all we have, but no east coast producer will ever compare to Dre.

@Mr_Patches…

You don’t really wanna go there comparing West Coast Vs East Coast producers, LOL…

Don’t get me wrong, Dre was the only reason I even paid attention to gangster rap because of his addictive tunes and beats but that’s about it…

He made his make but since then, I don’t know…

But you can’t compare producers because by the time we name good songs from East Coast compared to West Coast, it would be over…

Dre is good but he is not the best…

The funny thing is that one can reproduce a lot of sick tunes and beats without having much expensive equipment… The only issue becomes when you have to synch the vocals in with the beats and tracks… I know cos I been doing this on the side for over 15 years…

When it comes down to naming good songs from East coast to West, that will be based on opinion more than anything. I’m sure our preference of music is different so that argument will actually never end.

What may seem like a good producer to you may not be a good producer to me at all. Don’t get me wrong there are some good producers on the East, but I don’t see them doing what Dre does. Not saying their not, just haven’t seen it. A lot of producers all over eventually have to switch up their style and beats just to keep their place in the game. Dre never had to switch his style up, he’s always been the same and it’s been working since the 80′s so he must be doing something right. None of these East producers been in the game that long. For whatever reason. There isn’t one producer out who hasn’t stole or copied a sample from someone, but that doesn’t matter.

But Dre isn’t just a producer. He’s discovered some of the most successful platinum recording artists in the game. Snoop, Eminem, 50 cent, The Game just to name a few. Dre has rappers on the East coast paying a fortune for his beats. Jay Z, Busta Rymes etc… and rappers down south and everywhere else. But no rappers on the West coast have went out their way to get a beat from a East coast producer. So that says something.

@Mr_Patches…

Soulja Boy, T-Pain, Lil Wayne and Co are selling records so does that mean that they are the best out there?

Record sales don’t mean you are the best… It just means you have better marketing schemes and gimmicks… There’s a lot of underground rappers and producers that have and keep having their work stolen or sampled to this day and just because they don’t have the legal arm or team to chase up their case, doesn’t mean they ain’t out there…

Don’t let the mainstream tell you what’s good…

It doesn’t seem as if you read my posts at all… I ain’t got nothing against Dre and I am even of his fans but the facts are facts… He is not the best producer out there… Yes, he discovered talent just like a lot of other folks did too… Russell Simmons brought a lot of folks through on the East Coast too among others… Bringing out talent doesn’t make you the best at everything… It just means you are good at bringing out talent…

And I am not gonna start an East Coast/West Coast thing…

I used to think West Coast was the best because I heard Dre on the radio more than East Coast stuff back in the day but once I caught up on both and then got into the whole Dirty South thing (there are quite a few golden southern rappers out there) then I realized that there is really no best but different styles but some got more of it than the others…

And besides, there’s tons of foreign rappers with crazy mad skills that almost no rapper in the US can touch. There’s some crazy mad talent out there in rap out in the world and after I heard those cats, I couldn’t listen to most american stuff anymore… But does that mean that the US rap scene is dead? Nope…

When you expose yourself to a huge and wide variety of styles and flavours of rap, you can’t just confine yourself anymore…

It doesn’t seem like you read my posts either. No where in there did I say Dre was the best at anything. Nor did I say record sales mean you are the best so I don’t know where you got that. Anyway our views of what good music is different. So lets agree to disagree. The mainstream has nothing to do with what I feel is good music. It wouldn’t matter if Dre never made it to mainstream, I’d feel the same about his music. I’m from the west coast, lived here my whole life, and the lifestyle I grew up with Is only part of the reason west coast music appeals to me a little more than other music. I never said it was the best. Sure there are other rappers in other country’s that have talent, and T-pain or whoever has good sales, no that doesn’t make them the best but that’s off the subject completely. This is about West Coast/East coast producers.

You stated that Dre was all the west coast had. That’s like me saying Swiss Beats is all the East Coast has. We know that’s not true, but you said Dre was we had like it was a fact. That’s just your opinion. I simply disagreed. When I said the East producers cant be compared to Dre, I meant that in a sense that Dre does what they don’t do. Until they have accomplished what Dre has or more, and they’ve been in the game over 20 years like he has without resorting to changing their styles. Then they can finally be compared. No east coast producer has ever done that. Russell Simmons doesn’t count because he’s not a producer. He’s never came out with a solo album that went platinum while producing hit records for other platinum selling artists at the same time, for as long as Dre has. While still discovering artists who are still making hit songs to this day. Name one east coast producer who done that or better.

Then you went on to say we can’t compare producers because by the time we start naming good songs from east to west it would be over. What would be over? You could name thousands of east coast songs that you feel are better than west coast songs, but it wouldn’t mean anything because at the end of the day that’s just your opinion on what a good song is. Many people would disagree with that as well.

Now the last thing we’re gonna do is start some East vs West nonsense. All I’m saying is the guy deserves more credit than what he’s getting in these comments. Although I never said it, I can guarantee there are millions out there who say Dr. Dre is the best.

Dr Dre does his thing but I like DJ-Quik…

And from Mr_Patches previous post:

“But Dre discovered some of the most successful platinum recording artists in the game. Snoop, Eminem, 50 cent, The Game just to name a few.”

N.B. When you mention PLATINUM recording artists been produced by Dre, THAT MEANS RECORD SALES…

What is PLATINUM grade based on?

Let me refresh you memory:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_recording_sales_certification

“Music recording sales certification is a system of certifying that a music recording has shipped a certain number of copies.

Almost all countries follow variations of the RIAA certification categories, which are named after the precious materials gold, platinum and diamond.”

So… You DID USE RECORD SALES TO SHOW HOW GOOD DRE WAS… HOW? BY INDICATING THAT HE PRODUCED ARTISTS WITH THE MOST RECORD SALES… I have used caps for emphasis…

Dude… I know what platinum recording artists means. Of course that means they have a lot of sales. Going platinum depends on how many fans buy the album. Not because Dre produced it. He could make a record right now, that doesn’t mean it will automatically go platinum. Now, just because the artists he produced go platinum, doesn’t mean they have the most record sales. It just means they sold enough to get to that point. Another artist could still sale more records at that same time.

I said he discovered “SOME” of the most successful artists. I never said they sold the most records ever. That’s something YOU somehow came up with. So no i did not use record sales to show how good he was. I simply said he discovered some artists who became very successful. That doesn’t mean he’s good. That just means people like to buy those artists records. I only gave Dre credit for discovering them. Just because Dre discovered them doesn’t mean they’re gonna be big. Their talent got them that far. Just because he discovered platinum selling artists doesn’t make him nor them the best, it just means they’re good at something. I already said that so I don’t know why you quoted what I said down there. I didn’t even bother clicking the link because there was no point.

To say he produced artists with the MOST SALES would imply those artists sold more than Micheal Jackson. That’s what most sales means. So I’m very sure I didn’t say anything remotely close. I only said they were some of the most successful. Just some. Not the top sellers.

You still didn’t name one East coast producer who’s accomplished what Dre has or better. Don’t worry I’ll wait lol

@Mr_Patches I’m from the East Coast and there are no producers who have accomplished what the good doctor has. But there are a lot of underground producers who claim that what he does is not actually producing. But hey,the brotha has talent. Point blank! Lol!

Dude… Why mention those artists then? What was your point in mentioning them if they didn’t support your argument? Does that make any sense?

As for record sales, who else buys records but people? Is it ghosts or animals that buy records?

If people like records, they bought them… I don’t know why that is not so obvious to you that mentioning platinum means selling a lot of records

But then again, your mind is made up so I won’t confuse you with facts…

And as for what Dre accomplished, he should have been able to have his own studio by now…

It’s Berry Gordy not having his own studio despite the Motown legacy… That would be really questionable…

It’s LIKE Barry Gordy not having his own studio despite the Motown legacy… That would be really questionable…

(scratching my head) These so-called celebs have chedda…but they just don’t manage it…..oh well, you know what they say:

“A FOOL and his money is soon parted.”

You didn’t understand anything I said, you still didn’t answer any of my questions, jus never mind.
