Nothin beats the original Chronic far as Dre production for me. I need to get that album again. Doggystyle can only match his best arguably but not surpass it.
I personally have to go with The Chronic but I could understand why someone would pick Doggy style, Niggaz4life, 2001, or No One Can Do it Better. All of those are top notch production from beginning to end.
The Chronic however is the album that everyone points to as Dre magnum opus, and for obvious reason. Its influence is undeniable from a musical standpoint. Everyone producer from Kanye to Pete Rock to Rza to DJ Quik to Timbaland have co signed the production on the Chronic as some of the best they ever heard.
i have to say true based on the fact that that is the only dre produced album that i still bump on the regs.
the shiznit... when that beat comes on i stop functioning for a couple mins. only time u can see me buss a c-walk and throw up a W like a fool. serial killa, pump pump, murder was the case ("dear god i wonder can u save me, i cant die my boo boo bout to have my baby") whats my name. da chronic aint that far off tho. gin and juice and aint nothin but a g thang r and will forever be on some goat status shit but off the top thats all i can remember from that album. but at least for me anyway doggystyle has a more nostalgic feel. had some good times with that shit bumping in the background. still do.
The thing about the Chronic, it seem like it would sound dated since it came out in like 92 but it dont. The crazy thing it still sounds futuristic. And it doesnt really have no skips.
If we talking overall production wise I think dres mixes got better over time. Dre executive produced a lotta lp's so it's hard 2 say. If we talking bout the beats then imma say the chronic. Single handedly brought forth g-funk which is known as the 'west coast' sound. Anything after that is really just following that blueprint. Really though he didn't make all the beats but dre can mix it n add on n make it come to life. That's his real talent. Dre makes dope beats but he mixes his beats better than the rest. Beat making wise there r guys I consider better but that's just me
Snoop speaks on producer credits (Dr. Dre,Daz,Warren G,Sha Money XL etc.)
Snoop;
I always tell niggas, I coulda went on some Snoop Dogg shit and just said "Ay Dre, do my next record." and just lock down and be like "Fuck all yall I got the hottest shit on the West, and I'm the reason bla bla bla". But I'm not selfish. I coulda smashed everythang and did that. Cause he's at my disposal. But I'd rather fuck with other producers, other artists, and just give niggas an opportunity that I feel deserve it. Cause I fuck with Dre, it's not gonna be Terrace Martin, it's gonna be Battlecat, it's not gonna be Soopafly. All these niggas is gone! It's gonna be Dr. Dre produced by. Even if ya'll produced it! You feel what I'm saying?
Dubcnn: It's crazy you say that though. A lot of people been saying that for a long time.
Nah, but when I say that, it's not disrespect, because them niggas will bring a track that sounds cool, but when he's finished with it, that muthafucka is immaculate. Like for example if you were to hear the Stevie Wonder song that Busta Rhymes brought to Dre before Dre touched it, you would think it's two different songs.
For the record;
Been Through The Storm (feat. Stevie Wonder)
Produced By Sha Money XL & Black Jeruz
Additional production by Dr.Dre
Keyboards: Mark Batson, Dawaun Parker & Mike Elizondo
Orchestra production: Busta Rhymes
*Contains samples from "Everlasting love", as performed by Felix Cavaliere.
Dubcnn: But he still should get some production credit though.
But, at the same time, Dre didn't take that from Sha Money (^read credits above^). And when he was doing that for niggas back in the days, they didn't deserve to have their name in the game like that, because he did all of the work! So what you found a sample and you got a cool little drum file, but he brought the shit to life, so he really produced the track! Producing is bringing the track to life! Beatmakers make beats. A lot of niggas make beats. He produces tracks. So that ain't disrespect what I'm saying. I'm just telling you what's real.
I seen him make tracks from scratch. My whole record the nigga made damn near everything from scratch. "Ain't No Fun", Daz and Warren G brought him the little *sings melody*, that's all they had! Dre took that muthafucka to the next level! Warren G brought in the Donny Hathaway, "Little Ghetto Boy, laying in the ghetto streets." Dre flipped it like "Hold on, gimme that!" Took that muthafucka and made it straight hit!
Dubcnn: So you're saying it's wrong that Daz or Warren G would claim that they didn't get the credit they deserved on The Chronic or Doggystyle?
I'ma say it like this: they didn't deserve the credit back then because they didn't do the work. They made beats, Dre produced that record. Point blank, and I'd say it in they face. They made beats, cuzz produced the record. If you a real nigga in the rap game, you'll understand what I'm saying. I can make a beat, but I can't produce! I can make a beat, but can I tell a nigga what to rap about, can I tell him when to come with the hook? Can you break the beat down? That's what producing is.
Dubcnn: Right, but if I brought in the beat, I would still want my name somewhere.
But, if you brought in the beat, that's all you did, was brought in the beat. You didn't produce this record. This song says "Produced by" not "brought in the beat by". Keep it real! So that's what niggas got wrong, and they started pointing fingers and try to bad mouth him, when in actuality Dre doesn't need ya'll, ya'll needed him! Because this shit ya'll learned from him, that made ya'll better producers. He didn't learn shit from ya'll! See that's what niggas don't understand! Before The Chronic, how many hit records did Dre have before that? Everything he made was a hit record right?
