    Lol, Kanye has made some of the best beats around. I'm not even a huge fan of him and I know this. Dre and Kanye are in completely different realms of skill, though,. Dre obviously has more knowledge about audio hardware and composition, where Kanye did production for a bit before becoming more of a rapper. Kanye knows more about using tribal or new age musical cadences in his songs, where Dre is more traditional with his productions. I think it's obvious why people prefer Dre, but you gotta acknowledge the fact that Kanye did something different for a lot of his s---.

    Eh, both are pretty decent producers, but I do prefer Dre.

    Dre can mix better than Kanye. Dre can mix better than most producers actually.

    who makes better beats is hard to argue though. Like do you take into account the song it was turned into? or JUST the beat, nothing else?
    Then after that, how do you define what is a "better" beat objectively? The one that's mixed better? the one that's more innovative? the one that's more unique? etc etc

    I think what made Forgot About Dre this great is Eminem. The beat is dope, but Eminem made it that much better. I don't think anyone could have nailed it the way he did.
