Quote (eboyd) You may be referring specifically to "Still Dre" where the piano riff was played by Scott Storch that's because it was a sample, when Dre samples he actually gets people like scott stortch to re-play the sample so it doesn't cost him as much money to use it, plus he can control the sound more because he's getting someone to re-play it with different instruments etc however he does actually get other people to find him samples, on The Chronic Warren G and Daz gave Dre a lot of samples, on Niggaz4Life Erotic D and Cold187um gave dre samples to use, on 2001 Mel-Man gave samples

Quote (8Diagrams) Dre used a shit load of co-producers that album is fraudulent. the album was co-produced by Mel-Man and credited as so, the last track was produced by Lord Finesse and was also credited as so, he did get Scott Stortch to play some keys on Still D.R.E anyway to get back on topic the album that got me into hip hop was actually Dr. Dre's The Chronic

Quote (eboyd) You may be referring specifically to "Still Dre" where the piano riff was played by Scott Storch in exactly the same way that I described above.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9oNHowrg4w Quote (eboyd) Name one song off that album that is made for the clubs/for dancing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTgWDu9Sxkw i personally dont like that album... it was the massacre (50 cent, dont hate me now) that got me into hip hop... the game was also with him and wouldnt stop talking about nwa...so i got into the whole west coast, dr dre/nwa thing.... then on youtube i discovered the music videos "check the rhime" "follow the leader" and "taste of chocolate" which confirmed my love of hip hop

rap was never foreign to me ... it's been around me since birth so there isn't any specific album that turned me on to the genre ...

man, i've been listening to hip hop for too long to remember the album that put me on to it. unfortunately the track that actually got me to start really becoming a hip hop fan was "Mo Money Mo Problems" by Puffy  but i have been listening to and loving hip hop since i was like 5 with tracks like "TROY" by PR & CL, "Tennessee" by Arrested Development, "Rock Dis Funky Joint" by PRT, etc. and i actually picked up "The Chronic", "Doggystyle" and several 2pac albums in 1998 (though i was already sort of into 2pac before he died) which is what further got me into hip hop. i got into the underground scene when i picked up "Like Water For Chocolate" by Common in 2000 while i was still skateboarding and then my friend put me on to Del, Hieroglyphics and Saukrates around the time "Deltron 3030" came out and shortly after "Third Eye Vision" dropped. i really wasn't into it back then though, but i thought it was cool, until a year or so later when i got into ATCQ and then i was able to appreciate Hiero. also, skaters, when i was that age, were either into punk or Wu Tang. the people i rolled with were Wu Tang heads. i remember hating Wu Tang when i first heard them but then i heard individual tracks by them around 1998 or so, like one of the tracks GZA dropped around that time, and also "Triumph" when it first came out, and i remember liking them and later finding out it was the same group. i was big into bullshit like Limp Bizkit throughout elementary school though and part of 6th grade, but then i started listening to nothing but Bone Thugs, 2pac and the underground hip hop i heard in skate videos and began hating LB. i followed the crowd in HS and pretended to like the BS on the radio just because i wasn't all hardcore about music back then because sports was more important, but i was secretly listening, at that point, to shit like Eric B. & Rakim when i was alone (found out about them through the movie "Juice" and 2pac's song "Old School"). then i finally decided to actually care about what i listened to when my friend Schwapp was talking about DJ Premier (who i knew about because of Common's song "Sixth Sense") and i began talking with him about hip hop. also, a big topic for us then was how wack Lil Wayne was unfortunately lol. i had heard Wayne many times and never liked anything he did, especially since in HS my football team, on the stereo i brought in to the locker room (it's funny. i started the trend of bringing it in there and they've brought a football player's stereo system in there every year since ), played a mixtape with Lil Wayne's "Still Tippin'" remix on it and i remember sitting there everyday (they literally played it every day) for 5 minutes thinking "WTF is wrong with this dude's lyrics? he's saying so much stupid crap! WTF?" and that was with a completely open mind at the time because he wasn't that big yet (though i knew who he was because i used to listen to Cash Money and i actually didn't mind him back when Juvenile was the big artist in that camp). anyways, i remember this was in 2006 and i was hearing an increasing amount of Lil Wayne on the radio and even then i was thinking to myself "why is this dude getting more popular? he's not good at all" and me and Schwapp (who is, btw, Asaph Schwapp from the Dallas Cowboys' brother and Dilla4Ever on here) just happened to share this thought in common, so through this we both began getting deeper into the old school and underground shit and this process eventually ended up in this site even existing because i was the person who convinced J1 to start up the group and i promoted it until it got to the level it's at today and if it wasn't for him i wouldn't give a shit lol, so you guys can thank Dilla4Ever, because without him this group probably wouldn't exist

Quote (eboyd) "Mo Money Mo Problems" by Puffy lol i used to love that song, and Missing You. i only used to listen to the occasional hip hop songs when i was a kid, "Gangsta Paradise", Crossroads, Ini Kamoze, but when i became a young teenager i hated hip hop, then i really got into it when i was 17. Quote (eboyd) played a mixtape with Lil Wayne's "Still Tippin'" remix on it and i remember sitting there everyday (they literally played it every day) for 5 minutes thinking "WTF is wrong with this dude's lyrics? he's saying so much stupid crap!

Quote (8Diagrams) http://realhiphop4ever.ucoz.com/forum/5-1583-1 yes, and I_Guy and EmSeeD disproved me in that thread. Dre also isn't the only producer who buys beats from other producers, and he gives full credit for it when he does. none of his albums have ghost produced tracks on them to my knowledge either. what he does is have other people co-produce (ie: play the keys on a specific track then he does the rest of the work) every once in a while. do you know how many people Kanye ghost produced for before he got famous? J Dilla was ghost producing for Q-Tip for years under the moniker "The Ummah" before he finally got credit. producers do this ALL THE TIME.
