Dr. Dre is always called influential but is he really?

[DaveyDave]

you gotta remember Dj Quiks debut album Title is even based on a Dr Dre rap line.

just wanted to throw that in


proceed

Quik Is The Name? never heard that it was based on a Dre line but i gues it's not far fetched

 

[daze23]

Dre helped make the producer into a star. before that, the producer was just a name in the liner notes

my bad,not his album

his debut single "born and raised in compton"

 

[Zach Lowe]

How is it ONE beat when in that same quote that you apparently only skimmed through and responded to, he said "now it's kind of like my whole style"???

Trolls are fakkits, breh. Don't do it.

Kanye is an idiot and has claimed that he got his whole style from RZA, Ghostface, and Mase in other interviews

apparently he likes to say he got his whole style from people

I've heard almost all of Kanye's beats that the only one that sounds like Dre is This Can't Be Life

 

[Zach Lowe]

my bad,not his album

his debut single "born and raised in compton"

Reach of the year

Maybe he was just born and raised in Compton

people will give Dre credit for anything

 

[Zach Lowe]

have you actually listened to a Quik album? they are very different in their styles

Yes

Throw a lead synth on any beat on Quik's first album and it could pass for a Dre beat

 

[Zach Lowe]

ofcourse he's influential, the majority of artists would tell me that so i dont need you to tell me that he's not

that's because people are dumb and can't separate influence from accomplishments

Dre has a lot of accomplishments but very little influence

so you really gone sit there and act like dj quik dont look up to dr dre as far as making music go?

you cant be fukkin serious.

Quik was never influenced by Dre's sound
Dre = no influence

 

[DaveyDave]

Yes

Dre wasn't even making G Funk beats in 91, with a couple of exceptions. Quik Is The Name is alot more like Death Certificate/Sir Jinx than anything Dre ever did. i'm not sure which was released first off the top of my head tho.

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

you really think Dre would have made it as just a solo rapper?

"yo Dre, stick to producing"

snoop didn't write his raps and Dre as a rapper was clear after express Yosef....

So exactly how did Snoop blow up Dre

 

[MMM]
