DOC is best ghostwriter, he may be ghostwriting on detox. i see what ur sayin the thing about people not gettin credit for contributing to dres beats like scott storch, mike elizondo, hi-teck or whateva their names are.

But when any of them go off to work by themselves they never sound as good as when they work with dre cause he perfects them.

————-

Mike Elizondo is always credited…and he’s not a producer he just plays keys

dre has admitted it (i think in scratch magazine a while back) – he sits in the studio listening to his people jamming, and if they play some hot keys he’ll record it and turn it into a beat. that’s what he does..

“When Harlem world double up we put Gs on it/ I’m pushing new 700 M.G.’s on it/ If that nigga can’t see the ice that mean my sleeve’s on it.” Mase dissing Hova.

But when any of them go off to work by themselves they never sound as good as when they work with dre cause he perfects them.

Are you really a DJ? Do you really know anything about music?
Well, what Dr. Dre does ALL THE TIME is something called “MIX”. Nobody said he didn’t make ANY of his beats. Of course I’m sure he MANUALLY PRODUCES some. But PRODUCING and MIXING are 2 different things. What makes Dre the GREATEST PRODUCER of all time – is his ear.
It’s being able to take a set of kicks, snares/claps, hi hats, strings, keys, horns, samples and any other sounds – and decide the volume/how many bars should it play?/ should it have any effects on it like a delay for instance? how should it be EQ’d? etc.
A lot of “PRODUCERS” get credit and they don’t touch an MPC and actually program the beat, they don’t touch a keyboard. There’s collaboration with a lot of the big time producers. THE MAJORITY. That’s cool.
THAT’S WHAT JERMAINE DUPRI MEANT WHEN HE NAME DROPPED DR. DRE AND TIMBALAND and said that nobody could do what he does, which was play everything (and Dre had Eminem and Xzibit diss the nigga). However HE WAS MISTAKEN with Timbaland because he does mostly play everthing.
There’s a difference between what say Dupri or Timbaland or Lil’Jon does (play mostly or all of their own keyboards and drums) to doing what Dr. Dre, a lot of the other tight producers MOSTLY does, which is programming a skeleton beat and then saying, “Ay lil’ cuz come play a bassline on this,” “Ay big homie, play some keys on that and make it go like this, pa pa pa pa (humming some shit out in a melody). “Alright, tell that bitch to bring that flute over here!” “Yeah, that’s it, now let me mix this shit.”
That’s more what Dre and a large number of the other best producers do. There’s nothing wrong with that – That doesn’t make him less of a PRODUCER, it just means that he’s brilliant for utilizing other production and input and polishing it up and making it a “Dr. Dre” PRODUCTION.
The only issue is when the other names don’t receive credit. Then it becomes GHOSTPRODUCING. – To me that’s not the thing to do.
I say all this because I PRODUCE, and I MIX, and I SPIT and I do my thang. Do you really DJ? I keep my bloggin and my Producin’/MCing/Entrepreneurin separate I don’t post my links on here and all that old shit – But if you want to know who I am, and get my website info and hear my shit and see if I know what I’m talkin bout nigga, you can e-mail me at shininglight78@hotmail.com and I’ll give you my offical label website, and I’ll give you my myspace page, and you can download the first single (featuring Gangsta Boo) to my new double disc droppin in October. If you a really a DJ, I NEED TO HOLLA AT YOU ABOUT BUMPIN THIS SINGLE ANYWAY.
I ain’t saying I’m Dr. Dre or on his level as a producer, I’m a fan of that nigga and I’m one of the main niggas that be mad as hell when they try to put DJ Premier (no offense to you homie) in his class (Like when the Source did that Greatest Producer of All Time bullshit and said it was a tie – and it was supposed to be based on a fan vote. How the fuck do hundreds of thousands of votes end in a tie?…damn East Coast bias) Everybody got they opinion on shit, but I know the difference between PRODUCING and MIXING and I do both, too. But I would love for Dr. Dre (the greatest hip-hop producer of all time) to MIX some of the shit I’VE PRODUCED and I know that nigga will give that shit a whole different sound and put it on some next level. Shit I’m an MC first and foremost, but I most definitely know what I’m talkin bout player, holla back.

Hater, never that nigga. Bitch, Oh never that nigga.
