WTF? He works slow as hell. Most artists should be able to put out something every 2 years at the very least. I don't think he's that good of a rapper anyways, good producer though.
 
^ LOL. Its well known that Dre is a producer first and a rapper second. Aside from producing Eminem's ENTIRE last album (minus one track), since Dre's last album, Aftermath has released like 9 albums (~39 million albums sold), which he's worked on and executive produced all of them. *McLovin voice* READ A FUCKING BOOK! :)

Yes, I said "good producer". I'm no hip hop guru but Aftermath sales all aren't attributed to his production (whos a big name of the label anyways?), not to mention Eminem's last album was mediocre at best.

How sure are you about that? How many albums would Eminem have sold if he weren't signed to Aftermath and Dre wasn't producing (or at least overseeing aka executive producing) the majority of his work? 50 Cent? The Game? I'm not saying its right, but merely being associated with the name Dr. Dre usually means $. Not to mention:

"The album became Busta's first album to debut at #1 on the charts with over 209,000 copies sold during the first week off release. On August 4, 2006 the album was certified gold for shipments of over 500,000 units. The album has sold 613,000 copies as of November 22nd, 2008[3]
The album became Busta Rhymes' highest charting album in the UK, debuting on the UK albums chart at #19. His previous highest album peak was #34 for the album When Disaster Strikes, almost ten years before the release of The Big Bang."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Bang_(album)#Sales_and_certifications

Dr. Dre Presents - The Aftermath; 6/16 tracks produced by Dre/executive produced by Dre (Platinum)

The Firm - The Album; 7/18 tracks produced by Dre (Platinum)

Eminem – The Slim Shady LP; 3/20 tracks produced by Dre/executive produced by Dre (4x Platinum)

Eminem – The Marshall Mathers LP; 6/18 tracks produced by Dre/executive produced by Dre (9x Platinum)

Eminem – The Eminem Show; 3/20 tracks produced by Dre/executive produced by Dre (8x Platinum)

50 Cent – Get Rich or Die Tryin'; 4/16 tracks produced by Dre/executive produced by Dre (8x Platinum)

Eminem – Encore; 8/20 tracks produced by Dre/executive produced by Dre (4x Platinum)

The Game – The Documentary; 6/18 tracks produced by Dre/executive produced by Dre (2x Platinum)

50 Cent – The Massacre; 2/22 tracks produced by Dre/executive produced by Dre (5x Platinum)

Busta Rhymes – The Big Bang; 7/15 tracks produced by Dre/executive produced by Dre (Gold)

50 Cent – Curtis; 2/17 tracks produced by Dre (2x Platinum)

Eminem – Relapse; 19/20 tracks produced by Dre/executive produced by Dre (Platinum)

50 Cent – Before I Self Destruct; 3/15 tracks produced by Dre (Gold)

so 76/215 = ~35% of the tracks on those albums were produced by Dre (which i'm assuming is the majority for any one producer - MAYBE Eminem has more, but i don't feel like doing any more research, lol)

...so...IMO Dre's contributions (whether it be him producing tracks, overseeing the albums or the albums just being on his label) attributed more than anything to Aftermath's sales

(i don't have a whole lot to do right now and i'm on my dexedrine...so...yea...)
 
Here's my two cents.

Get Rich or Die Tryin' was the shit. Curtis, The Massacre and Self Destruct were all garbage, it was a combination of 50 cent and the production but they were garbage. The Documentary was classic, so were Eminem's first two. I give him the fact that he is a good producer. I think Scott Storch is superior and several others in the game are as well. I don't really see him as a good artist, look at the span between Chronic and 2001 and how many fucking cameos he had to throw on 2001 to make it that raw. I think he should have not mentioned anything about Detox with how long he pulled bullshit for media and to keep people antsy.

Frankly I dunno what tracks he produced exactly on those albums.
 
^ Again. He's a producer first and a rapper second. "The Chronic" and "2001" have features on almost every track, and, if I'm not mistaken, some tracks don't even have Dre rapping on them at all. His albums are showcases of his production, not his rapping. I mean, come on, the fact that its very public that he doesn't even write his own lyrics (The D.O.C. and Snoop wrote most, if not all, of his stuff on "The Chronic" and Eminem wrote most of his stuff on "2001") is just more evidence of this.

BISD is FIRE btw...better than GRODT imo...without the soft/girl songs on Curtis it would have been just as good as BISD...The Massacre is easily the weakest
 
KevinKostner,

It would be appreciated if you could desist from future posting in this thread (or any thread).

That's blashemy and whoever chose to release "Have a baby by me" as a single was smoking some serious crack. I won't listen to BISD all the way through but ever since 50 made his big chunk of change his rhymes have gotten real lazy, garbage as fuck.

I agree with that for the most part. "Baby By Me" is a mixtape track at best. Aside from the obnoxious sample (of himself), its a soft song that just doesn't fit in with the theme of the rest of the album. With that being said, he has a huge female fan base and he knows he needs at least one of those tracks on every album. That's just business. "Do You Think About Me" or "Could've Been You" should have sufficed for that audience, though. I just think the harder tracks ("So Disrespectful", "Death To My Enemies", "Psycho", "Get It Hot", "Gangsta's Delight") make up for the softer ones.

As far as 50's laziness goes, he's never been a great lyricist. He's a good song writer with charisma and above average flow. That combined with the top-notch production he's always provided with (and his association with Dr. Dre and Eminem) allows him to sell. GRODT was just as exciting for me as it was for everyone else, but that shit is dated. His sound on Curtis and BISD is far superior. The production is better and he just sounds more comfortable.

Dre's sound in the 90s was completely different than what he's doing now. The West Coast 'G-Funk' sound on "The Chronic" was so synthetic compared to "2001" and everything he's done since. His music is almost completely organic nowadays. He still uses an MPC for drums like he always has, but almost everything else is live instrumentation. And even the drum hits on the MPC he samples from live drums. He still sequences it the same way, but when he wants violins, for instance, on a track, he has a violinist in the studio. Horns, guitars, everything. That, IMO, is what makes his sound so unique.
