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

[oats]

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.

[Witty]

He's number one for me.

[Mr. J]

There's a handful of producers better than Dre



but based on your pallet the vibes may differ











Dilla though>>>>

[Destroyer]

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

[Razah]

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.

[Fart]

Dilla

[Fart]

Rza too maybe

[Witty]

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.

[Mr. J]

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

[joog]

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

Harry fraud
Cooking soul
Alchemist
Thelonious

[uh-oh]

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.

[uh-oh]

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

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

Linkin Park

[Mr. J]

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
