Dr. Dre Bemoans Multiple Producers Working On Same Album: 'I Don't Like It'

[REdefinition]

Didn't this dude had the Hitmen?

Daz and em in Death Row?

I'm going to take a aspirin

Nah Hitmen was Puff. Dre did have an artist named Hitman.

But even that is different. Having in house producers working as 1 team is different from picking beats from various people with different sounds that don't even know each other. Neptunes was two people, 1 team. Trackmasters (Tone and Poke), Heatmakerz, Bomb Squad, Beats by the Pound, etc.

This nicca had multiple producers making his damn beats. The nerve kmt.

HUGE DIFFERENCE

 

[Solomon Lurke]

How bout producers who solely produce hundreds of songs never to release them?

 

[Rekkapryde]

LOL NO

HE HAD SESSION PLAYERS WHO WORKED UNDER HIM

COLI CONSENSUS CLUELESS AS USUAL

WHEN DRE DOES AN ALBUM HE’S THE PRIMARY PRODUCER

EVERYONE ELSE IS JUST A CO-PRODUCER OR GLORIFIED SESSION PLAYER


HE’S TALKING ABOUT AN ALBUM THAT
HAS MULTIPLE LEAD PRODUCERS .. CREATING A LACK OF COHESION

HUGE DIFFERENCE

You mean multiple executive producers? That’s still wrong. Music is a collaborative process. The artist is ultimately responsible for his/her final product

 

[Cuban Pete]

1 producer aint enough, more than 4 is too much

 

[Po pimp]

Producer =/= beatmaker

 

[Zero]

I can't disagree too much

But when you get everybody on the same page to make a cohesive sound like The War Report, it can be just as good, if not better than a single producer album.

The artist usually can't really do shyt in that regard. Most artists need an exec producer to deliver an album, shyt at least an A&R

EXECUTIVE PRODUCER IS SOMEONE THAT HAS NO SAY ON THE ACTUAL MUSICAL CREATION PROCESS

SO NO, THATS NOT WHAT I MEAN

 

[Mike the Executioner]

Hasn't Dre produced on multiple albums that had different producers for each song?

JUST BECAUSE HE’S GIVEN BEATS TO ARTISTS WHO USE MULTIPLE PRODUCERS ON AN ALBUM DOESNT MEAN ITS HIS PREFERRED METHOD LOL

ONE HAS NOTHING TO DO WIT THE OTHER

But it does?

Dre is clearly taking a stand against rappers that do that. It's not a preference, he's flat out saying that he's against it and producers should be able to do the whole project. He could easily refuse to sell beats to rappers unless he's able to work on the whole album. He has the credibility and the leverage to do that, but there was always a big paycheck that came with selling a beat, so why turn it down?
