    This is why Dr. Dre has and continues to have an edge over a lot of producers because he's a technician. He's not just a producer, beatmaker, musicians, and artists. He's also an engineer and a mixer. He's been doing this for nearly 40 years. Salute

      Thats called an engineer don't want to be mean but Its a lot more than a technician cause he know both

      @@DarkTrapStudio My point is that Dre is more than just an average producer. Because Dre had experience in the various parts like engineering, mixing, and even beatmaker (much of that prior to becoming a producer); it give Dre an edge over a lot of other producers and it's been proven. Dre is one of the best to ever do it, as an artist as well as a producer. That's that.

    The most underrated and forgotten part about the brilliance of 2001 is that it came out in the 1st wave of Down South dominance. When the album was announced, I waited to see if Dre would bite the South in any shape or form to stay relevant. He didn't. He kept his tempo. He stayed true to himself while coming up with some entirely new, original material. The popular sound at the time was purely Down South with No Limit, Cash Money, Suave House, Three 6, UGK, etc. dominating and New York was doing their thing with Rocafella, Ruff Ryders, etc. NOBODY from the West Coast had anything successful out. There was no such thing as a West Coast sound. G-funk would have sounded outdated. To drop a classic in the middle of that without conforming to anything going on around him was amazing.

    I'm so glad Guru mentioned Quincey Jones in that tweet, everyone needs to go back and listen to Thriller on CD, no streaming, or better yet, Thriller on vinyl, and appreciate and recognize Quincy's golden ear decades before Dre and technology

    • @dianevrules
      @dianevrules 2 роки тому

      Quincy Jones didnt mix those albums. He didnt master those albums. He didnt even play most of the instruments on there. he produced those albums. So wtf are you talking about???

    • @averagesavage8367
      @averagesavage8367 2 роки тому

      ​@@dianevrules Albums? You're slow. I only mentioned one album. He produced every song other than 4 him and MJ co-produced. Do you know what a producer does? They make beats. If you are a master like Quincey, they shouldn't need to be mixed and mastered so much as to alter the original sound. Dr. Dre barely did any work on 2001. Mel Man made most of the beats, Scott Scorch on Still D.R.E., Jay-z and the D.O.C. wrote most of the lyrics.

    I always said the chronic 2001 was the best sounding album of music of modern music history was so crisp it was like 2001 space Odyssey I totally get what he was doing it was that good sounding crisp if you have a good stereo system try listening on flock audio or get the actual vinyl such a great listen to beginning to end especially the lowrider bouncing in the beginning of the skids it's just such a great album God damn thank God

      I was surprised in 2018, after not listening to it in 14 years, of how chronic 2001 aged so well. But still, nothing dre made ever compares to Tha Chronic. the first one. 2001 still sounds weaker in comparison imo.

    The Chronic or Efil4zaggin are my favorites. Because they were raw af and not just loud af mastering. Dre 2001 didnt have a lot going on in the instrument departments. So it was easy af for most engineers to make those frequencies work together. Dre's Compton album or The Contract are better examples. Since he had a lot of instruments going in those songs
