Dr. Dre's ghost producer Chris "The Glove" Taylor Interview

[MusicConsulting]

Chris Glove Taylor was as important to West Coast, he had Dre floating in the nineties. Without people like Chris Taylor, the sonic design would be different. Without people like Laylaw,187um, Erotic D, Dre would still be sounding like Run Dmc if they came from LA.

You can't hide your team in the days of the internet.
Dre tried it, Drake tried it,Jim Jones tried it

BTW Joe Cocker piano break should be credited on "California Love" but the first group to do this break that I heard was "Ultramagnetic" & that was Ced Gee.



But if we really want to give credit, the piano riff is "Chris Stainton" on the Joe Cocker session & who knows where he riffed that from. For all we know that could be Allen Toussaint or Professor Longhair


Dre Vault photo...holy shyt...look at the credits... Glove's name is everywhere in that fukkin room.

"He's the project manager" Snoop aint going to like that Dre comment if he hears this. Chris,Colin Wolfe, Mel Man, they get convinced they didn't do that much. Dre hypnotized them.

Stop calling them all 'ghost producers'

They are beat makers.

Producing a song takes more than just making a beat.

No, a lot of Dre's beat makers were producers & coproducers, not just beatmakers.

He does music for Empire & has 1100 ASCAP credits, Timbaland licenses his company for additonal music for scenes. Chris Glove Taylor is a boss,while his haters sit there grinding their teeth clutching Deathrow/Aftermath records in their hands.

He properly credits people. When they are co-producers it is displayed. After all those years of getting jerked by people he doesn't jerk other artists.

If they are not listed, they are not co producers or the actual producer. They made the beat. Snoop has already confirmed this with Daz and Warren G. On songs Scott Storch just played the keys, he didn't get full credit for the beats.

everybody coming out the woodworks now..

Edit: I listened to both interviews, Chris The Glove said Barney Rubble did Gin and juice, but now this nikka saying that he did the beat. So who really is responsible for the record?

I was confused for a second on that as well. I think one of them made the beat and the other played instruments over the beat to liven it up.

Dr. Dre.

Nah, people just weren't credited properly at DR and even though Dre was co-owner imo it was no fault to him. But to deny that fact is simply a lie because too many people have stated the exact same thing. The same way people weren't paid royalties etc. DR's business was either not up to par like it should have been or they were intentionally trying to screw artist. I think it was a mixture of both.
"they made the beat". No beat = no song.

First of all they didn't make the full beat a lot of the times. Daz and Warren G, according to Snoop Dogg, brought samples. Scott Storch would come up with the keys/moledy for a song and Dre would do the drums + coach the artist.

No lyrics, no mixing = no song as well.

You are talking about others, let's get back to these interviews where they spoke on the beats that they did do. You want to change the convo to fit your take on the situation by referencing instances where it was more favorable for Dre while ignoring these artist. If you can't refute them then just leave it alone and take it with a grain of salt. Don't say they are lying just because you don't believe it.
==============================================================
But no one is saying Snoop only rapped the song or 2Pac just did the vocals and that's all. But you are talking that way about the beat or even the melody like it's some minute detail of the song. You can't see you are in error?

How come all of these so-called ghost producers can't do shyt without Dre?

But that nikka just sayin he played the music on cause Dre couldn't play any instruments. So he's basically a session player who didnt get credit but I wouldn't say he "made the beat" per se considering it didn't come from his brain. He just got directed what to say. And I shyt on Dre for his bullshyt ALL THE TIME on this site so I'm not tryna defend him in any capacity.

Yes I am talking about all kind of producers who also have been called 'ghost producers' in the past but in fact, were not. This guy's story has changed more than once so that is why I don't think he is telling the truth. This guy is telling stories favorable to him and he switched it up.

My original comment was there is more to producing a song than just making a beat. Everything I am talking about is still on that path and it pertains to all these guys who keep doing this. Over there years there have been plenty of stories, the ones I am referencing, to where when it was all said and done the guys making these claims were exaggerating.

I never said the beat was a minute part of the song, I said that it's not the only part. Which it isnt. A 4 second sample for a beat is not the same as constructing the sample, laying the drums, adding the extra instruments, working on a hook, coaching an artist, working on the adlibs or making them re-punch in parts, and mixing down the beat and the vocals together. Being a studio player, playing the music how you are directed by someone else, does not mean you made the beat or produced the song either.

The beat is the crust/base to the pizza but with out the rest of the ingredients it's not pizza, its bread. Good pizza needs a good crush/dough but no matter how good the dough is, with out the topping and sauce, its again just bread.

Where is his Chronic, nikkaz4lLife, Str8 Outta Compton, Doggy Style, Chronic 2001?

I really don't understand this forum's obsession with tearing Dr. Dre down. Obviously Dre worked with tons of musicians who took direction from him, should they all be considered "Ghost Producers"?

If so where is their body of work to rival what Dre has done?
