Dr. Dre has publicly criticized rap albums that feature production from a large number of producers.

Despite heavily relying on co-producers on his last album Compton, Dre used his interview with Stephen A. Smith to criticize Hip Hop’s move away from using only one or a small number of producers on a project.

“Find your collaborator. I don’t like the fact that there are, like, nine different producers on one album. I like the idea of one producer on one album. Continuity is everything,” he said.

Asked by Smith where the trend came from, Dre replied: “I don’t know, but I don’t like it.”

He added: “If you a producer, you should be able to produce the entire album. That’s what I thought it was supposed to be. That’s what I was doing at the beginning.”

He had another super group I forgot their name, it had Mel Man, scorch, etc.
Yeah, they were on 2001 but he produced each song. Mel co-produced. Scott and others played instruments/keys and shyt that Dre wanted.

About to say lmao. I kinda figured Dre talking mostly about direction but given that everybody claimed to be a producer, I got legit confused at him talking about one producer/one album, when this dude had a bunch of producers and he just arranged the sounds.

It's morning breh lmao :mjlol:
