It's true that Dre had been removing himself from the credits for some time, he worked on Kush for an example. DJ Khalil once said that the beat was originally a little different and slower when he made it. And then Dre obviously mixed it too.

But stop overrating him that much. Dawaun Parker for an example is a dope producer on his own (I just heard Love Thy Family by Busta Rhymes, it resembles a Dre-beat)
and Jake One did do "The Recipe".
Plus the beat in 50's President Freestyle doesn't sound that different than the one in Get It. The only difference you can hear is that they changed the snare sound.

Dre can bring the best out of people, but most of the time he wasn't even really involved in actually composing the music. He didn't come up with the melodies for The Real Slim Shady, Still Dre or Ain't No Fun. He only added some elements.

And that's not necessarily bad, it's just how he approached his beats. He got behind the drum machine and then the musicians played to his tracks and he combined the best ideas.
What I'm trying to say is, most of his beats were all group efforts.

Wow... never thought I will hear something that

 

Nov 25, 2020

This isn’t true but the Jake One disrespect in here is ridiculous.

 

Nov 26, 2020

I put together a detox mixtape for those interested in the creative section. Figured people are buzzing about dre right now

 

Nov 27, 2020

Well there was. Somebody removed it

 

Nov 28, 2020

? I've just checked, it's still there.

 

Nov 28, 2020

Edit: it's in the special section. Get your post count up and you'll be able to see it.

another unrleased dre beat at 32 seconds

 

Nov 28, 2020

But you also said that Dre probably beefed up that "Get It" beat, and he didn't.

A new Xzibit interview came out today, some interesting bits:

It’s cool to see you guys are both putting out music still. I noticed too, you’ve been hanging out with Dr. Dre quite a bit, working in his studio. As someone who works with him a lot, what would you say Dr. Dre is bringing to the table when he comes in to oversee a session.

Well, Dr. Dre is the chairman of the board-- let’s get that straight, off-top. And Dr. Dre brings the table to the table. [laughs]

That’s what he brings to the table. He lives in the studio, first of all. So, you know, with his level of expectation of himself and his music, I don’t think people really understand and grasp how strong that process is. I can’t speak on his timetable, you know what I’m saying? I think that every time he’s come out with something, it’s made an impact and changed the direction of music, so I have no questions about his timing, you know what I’m saying? Yeah, when you see me in the studio with Dre, we working on stuff for myself, we working on stuff for him, we working on stuff for everything. But as far as when he releases, that’s up to him.

But he never disappoints, so I just let people talk until they actually get it, and then when they get it, it’s a piping hot cup of ‘Shut the f--- up.’ [laughs]

Do you guys ever reminisce about Restless and Man vs. Machine, the two albums you guys worked on together the most?

Nah, man, that stuff we already achieved, you know what I’m saying? We looking to do new things, we looking to make forward progress--we’re not living in the past, we don’t turn around often, but when we do, it’s very briefly, and then it’s forward.

Circling back to the music for a second, have you been working on a solo album at all? Do you have any plans on pushing forward with a solo album?

Yeah, but Summer of Sam came out, we worked on that, that took precedence. Then you know, December 12th is the 20-year anniversary of Restless, so we got some special things lined up to coordinate with that, with Sony. Top of next year I’d like to put out Kingmaker, that’s the name of my new solo album. I’ve been working on it diligently and I’m pretty happy with what’s coming out, so let’s see how it goes. Hopefully, top of next year I can drop my solo project and see where it goes from there.

Spoiler

Cool. I’m looking forward to that. So I have to ask this, what are the chances--and this is just coming from a fan here--but what are the chances that we can ever see a “b---- Please III?”


Wooh! That’s a Dr. Dre question. [laughs]

Well, if I ever get him on the phone again, I’ll definitely tell him: ”b---- Please III.”

Absolutely!

But you’re a key part of all of them, though, just as much as him! So maybe if you slide up that request, hit up Dre, maybe put the request in...I think a lot of people right now, if people saw a collaboration between you, Dre, Eminem, and Snoop right now, I really do think it would break the internet, to be honest. I really do think that.

Wow, that’s dope, man, thank you. I’ll see if I can talk to Dre about it, but we’ll see. [Laughs]

That’s funny, actually. I mean, I had to try.

No worries, no worries.

On that note, I know you and Dre are super tight, but do you still at all keep in touch with Eminem? I know you guys have worked together so many times, and let’s be honest, you have a great track record of collaborations, like “Don’t Approach Me…” and "My Name."

I haven’t talked to Marshall in a minute, man, but you know, it’s always the same -- I got a lot of respect for him and his team. When we see each other, it’s all love.

Definitely. I find you guys really clicked as emcees, lyrically, the cadences of your voices, the type of beats you’d rap on when you were getting on tracks together. There’s a really solid mesh there.

Aw, man, I appreciate that, man. I think so, too.

Been waiting on the Restless anniversary stuff all year since he announced it. He's got some unreleased stuff on there that I can't wait to hear.

 

Nov 28, 2020

Why is it there?

 

Nov 28, 2020

Ridiculous i cant even see my own thread

 

Nov 28, 2020

I know man. But at least it hasn't been deleted. I guess it was moved because it was a link to leaked material so when if it's a fan made mix tape it's still not "allowed".
