The Reality From out West

Get off his dick.....


September 20, 2007 | Tags: Dr Dre, DJ Quik, Dj Khalil, Production





                I spoke on hype yesterday, I figured I’d speak on overrated shit today. It seems like you can’t mention the west coast without someone bringing this dude up. He’s probably given the most credit out of everyone in the history of west coast rap. He’s given more credit than Ice T. (The REAL original west gangster rapper). He’s given more credit than E40. (The originator of 33% of hip hop slang) He’s given more credit than Eazy E. (The original rapper/CEO) He’s given more credit than Ras Kass .(One of the best lyricists ever from ANY Coast). He’s even given more credit than Ice Cube. (The Dopest Rapper from NWA, probably with the best overall catalog out of all west coast rappers, and one of the best catalogs period) If we’re talking about sales, the answer is obvious. The mere addition of a Dr. Dre beat get’s you about 350,000 in sales at least,(Unless you’re a female..more on that later) but of course over here in my section of the net…I don’t give a fuck about sales. So why should dude get so much credit? Easy…he shouldn’t.



“Your favorite producer is a talent scout”
Brillyance Star



                The views expressed here do not represent the views of Cheri Media Group or HipHopdx.com as a whole. I feel it’s only right to state that before Gunit/Shady/Aftermath/Interscope/Sombodywithawholelotmorecake start boycotting some shit. Everybody’s always talking about how dope Dre’s beats are…but are they really Dre’s beats? Daz said that on “The Chronic” he did the beats, Dre came in and adjusted a couple of knobs, then put his name on it. Everyone knows Scott Storch is really the man behind “Chronic 2001”’s instrumentals. What does Dr. Dre really do as far as the beats? Some may say “Oh, Michael Jackson McDuck only has credit for programming such and such” Really? Listen to the beats off “Chronic 2001” and listen to the garbage Dre gave Jay Z for his last CD (once Storch started doing his own shit)….which beats do YOU prefer? After listening to the last Jay Z CD it became quite obvious to me that even if Dr. Dre’s beats weren’t mostly done by other people, they still sounded WAAAAAY better with those other people “assisting”. The only thing worse to me than the fact that Dr. Dre get’s all the credit in the world is the fact that Dj Quik get’s little to no credit. In the history of this site, Quik has probably been mentioned 2 to 3 times. Dj Quik is the REAL producer for that stereotypical west coast sound. (Ain’t nothing wrong with doing stereotypical shit if you’re one of the originators of it, and you’ve been doing it prior to it becoming a stereotype)



“Don’t worry if I write checks, I write rhymes”
Evidence “Back Again”



                How can you call someone’s album a classic, when they don’t write the rhymes on it? If the album is a classic, you should give credit to the writer of the album…which Dr. Dre never was. Suge said some shit that actually made sense when “Chronic 2001” dropped. How do you make a song to bring the west coast back and have an east coast artists write it? For those that don’t know, “Still D.R.E” was actually H-O-V. Jay Z wrote “Still D.R.E” off “Chronic 2001”. How are we praising rappers that don’t write their own rhymes? I’d never give Foxy Brown more credit than Jean Grae. Along with Jay Z, Dr. has had rhymes written by Snoop, Nas, Eminem (that whole Jermaine Dupree diss…obviously Em) Royce Da 5’9, Kururpt, and a bunch of no names. (Mel-man, Hittman , etc. etc) Hip Hop is about creativity…but if your not creating the rhymes…and not creating the beats…what the fuck are you doing?  While everyone would like to say the South isn’t hip hop, I’d like to say Dr. Dre isn’t HIP HOP. No matter how whack you may think they are, at least they actually wrote the shit they spit, or produce the shit they say they’re producing.



                So what does dude actually do? Well, his albums ARE pretty good compilations. I guess it’s like my shit talking alter-ego says, Dr. Dre is a talent scout. The only problem with that is he isn’t too good with “scouting” female artist. When Marsha from Floetry joined Aftermath, her ex-band mate, turned returning band mate said she was worried about her “sister” because she knew Dr. Dre had a bad history with female artist. Hmmmm…Truth Hurts, Eve (that never dropped an album on aftermath…and she was there two times) Michel’le (or however she spells that shit)….yea, she’s right. He should just change his name from Dr. Dre, to Dj Dre, since we allow mixtape DJs to fake like they’re actual DJs as long as they put together good CDs with a million rappers on them.  We give mixtape DJ’s credit for doing beats they obviously didn’t do, so Dre would fit in perfect. If Dre chooses not to be a mixtape DJ he could always be an A&R, cuz like Dre, most people still don’t know what the fuck A&R’s ACTUALLY do. (We know what they’re supposed to do)



                Much love to all the REAL west coast producers….DJ Quik(The Legend) Dj Khalil (one of the dopest out right now) Madlib (ditto) Alchemist(ditto) Evidence (production is catching up to the rhymes) Daz(official gangster rap production, Daz kept many house parties I’ve been to cracking) Rick Rock (I think Hyphy is whack, but if you like it, he’s the reason why)…and of course The Hooligans (dopeness with a Tribe feel appeal to it…keep it up). On that note…I’m out.
