This topic comes up every once in a while, but I always wonder how people like Havoc, RZA, Q-Tip, Pete Rock, DJ Quick, Large Professor, etc were able to produce all those classics as mere 'beatmakers' but Dr Dre is a 'real producer' even though he has a whole team of people bringing in stuff, and a whole squad of engineers to finish the product.

Suge is a pathological liar.

This.

Daz has even said that he never did anything on Doggystyle. Suge hates Dre so much that he'll spend the rest of his days trying to discredit and slander him. His hate and jealousy for Dre is literally what got him locked up! It's why he's in there now. Showing up to movie sets and sh*t to hate on dude. He's become a joke.

Dre having a team of producers has always been exaggeration. He has co-producers because he doesn't play instruments. He has keyboardist come in play keys, who are often credited as co-producers.

And legit co producers on his projects fizzled out or never had the same kind of success as when working with Dre with the exception of Scott Storch.

Yella - Quit music and became a porn producer
Mel-Man - Where is he now?
Daz - early success, but eventually fizzled out
Warren G - early success but eventually fizzled out

Meanwhile Dre just kept finding success with game changing artists like 50 and Em when he left death row.

I don’t get the hate for Dre on this site.

And even with Scott Storch, his solo work was never consistent. People give Swizz grief on here, but Storch is actually a worse offender than Swizz. People legit credit Storch with production that he had nothing to do with at the expense of discrediting Dre. Storch's solo productions never were as great as what they were with Dre. Even listening to 50's Massacre, it's a world of difference between "Outta Control" original and remix and "Candy Shop" and "Just A Lil Bit". "You Got Me" is the best Scott Storch solo produced Hip Hop record.
