You right TPAB and GKMC do have Dr. Dre fingerprints on the album, here's why and tells you about the Greatness of Dr. Dre.
TPAB was recorded and mixed at Dr. Dre studio, Dre have one of the best studio in hip hop.
TPAB and all Kendricks album (And TDE Albums) are mixed by One of the best engineer in hip hop, TDE Engineer MixedByAli, MixedbyAli was taken in by Dr. Dre, Dr. Dre showed him tricks and how to mixed records. MixedbyAli is a Dre disciple on the Engineer Boards, so that's why you hear Dr. Dre influence on that album, and you know Dre was cleaning the album up on the production side, adding little things
Here's MixedbyAli talking about Dr. Dre when Dre and MixedbyAli was mixing GKMC
Did you mix the album?
Yup. Me and Dre did like five songs. I did the rest of ’em [by myself]. It was a dope experience. First time really working with Dre. For the last year and a half, two years, he’s been showing me things, but this was the first time we really was able to get in the studio and go hands on.
What did you pick up or learn in that process?
It’s so much. With Dre, I could just watch him work and I’ll learn something. Dre is a perfectionist. I would love to be somewhat like him in my career. Everything he does has to be perfect. He knows what he likes to hear and he knows what direction he want to take each record. A lot of engineers do it in a science: The kicks first, the snares, the percussion, the hi hats; they do it down the line. Dre, when he hears a record, he hears the record in the whole and he takes it to the next level.

And Dr. Dre produced one of the first hip hop/soul/r&b albums with Michel'le which is consider a classic hip hop soul album, the only producers can say that is Kanye West with John Legend Lifted and Teddy Riley when he created New Jack Swing and produced Guy's Guy, Keith Sweat, Bobby Brown and Al. B Sure Albums
Dr. Dre is the Greatest hip hop producer
This is a top 10 Dre beat for me. I'll take this over Still Dre any day, especially in a club setting. That groove is KILLER. In fact, it's one of few 'funky' Dre joints.
"In Da Club" was supposed to be for Rakim?
Any receipts on that?One of my all-time favorite Dre beats:

One of my all-time favorite Dre beats:
All the beats that 50 got from Dr. Dre that was on Get Rich Or Die Trying was all Rakim beats, Rakim passed on them and when Rakim left those beats was sitting around, Dre even passed In Da Club to D-12 and they didn't know what to do with it, 50 heard them and took it.
You can find articles on it from D-12, Stat Quo and 50
