other than Premo, who is even arguably better than Dr. Dre?
 

in terms of the entirety of their career, consistency, quality of beats/production, etc. For me, he seems to be consensus #2, but curious to see other opinions. btw Compton is dope, and so is the Purple Tape.

He's number one for me.

There's a handful of producers better than Dre



but based on your pallet the vibes may differ











Dilla though>>>>

he probably gets the most respect out of anyone with such a small catalog of material
I put Kanye above him for his prolific output

I think a lot more people are more talented than Dr. Dre is.

I feel like, Dr. Dre has the best ear though.

He's one of those, do this, do that- so I kind of lose 'respect' for him in that sense, but yeah, dude has an incredible ear.

Dilla

Rza too maybe

I haven't heard anyone else whose beats give me the feeling Dre's give me. Shivers down the spine stuff.

I'm not a big beat person so idk, but Dre's beats resonate with me unlike most others.

Kanye and Premo do too tho. Maybe I'm biased because when I was first getting interested in hip hop Dre beats were everywhere.

I can respect that. He's so different from Premier that they're basically 1a and 1b, just depends on my mood. I got into rap through west coast artists, so Dre's beats are more meaningful for me personally than Premier's. Dre just hasn't put out as much work I feel, whereas Premo is always in the cut.


I like Dilla, appreciate him and all that, but imo he's a bit overrated.

DOOM>>>>>

Rza too...


I usually go through moods on who I enjoy the most
but I can cycle through my faves and still be inspired
Kanye gets mad love for 'You Don't Know My Name' though

Idk about whole entire career...but top prods.
Imo...

Harry fraud
Cooking soul
Alchemist
Thelonious

dres somewhere in my top 10

as far as consistency goes no one is as consistent as premier in my opinion

i gotta let dres new shit sink in but he makes alot of club shit i don't fuck with at all, not just the recent album i just mean in general throughout his career

kanyes another whose inconsistency, and really its more preference than anything i don't like the modern synth heavy shit everyones adopting but i'd put him over dre as far as just making beats

but thats my flaw as well, i'm judging it from a making beats perspective and not as much as a pure production perspective

but i'd probably put alchemist over him. premier and kanye. i could make arguments for others but those are the only ones i would probably put over him no matter how i'm feeling.

so i guess he's in my top 5.

i'm also of the same mind that dilla is criminally overrated in death. but everyone feels shit different. i get why people like his shit so much. i just like alot of others more. rza's another one who i think is stupid ill but makes alot of shit i could live without.

Black Milk

Rick Rubin though...9th is dope too

Statik Selektah. Jake One...

maaaan

Repped until you say something that makes me neg you

this went from "who is better than Dr. Dre" to "name a bunch of pretty good producers" in record time.

Linkin Park

Not for me...I feel Dre has dropped an even amount of hits or misses for me

Id go as far to say Quik is better too

Negged for the remainder of the day
