I don't know why people acting like a puffy is a beat maker or something, he was a producer, meaning he makes the decisions
He tell the beat maker what to sample, he tell them to redo the drums, turn up the vocals, mute out certain instrumentals, etc
Rza, and DJ Premier are beat makers, Dre is a producer and a beat maker, I mean Daz did most of that death row shyt, Dre barely made any beats, he just turned some knobbs and made the decisions, based on what he thought sounded the best that's what a producer does, in music a producer is equal to the director of a film, the film producer who finances the project is called the executive producer in music, that's what P diddy did, he just wrote the check for everything, that's why he has executive producer credits, and why he said I don't write rhymes I write checks
Diddy wants to perform his songs and have Dre perform his songs in versus
he not trying to play songs he produced like a DJ against JD or any of these other beat makers, that's not his lane, diddy wants to perform as an artist, he was the biggest artist on bad boy after biggie died lmao, I don't know why people keep trying to shoehorn in this producer lane when he was never a producer lmao
