For a guy that takes music made by actual musicians and puts a drum beat and a synth over the top, might be a bit much to expect he'll be some kind of technological innovator. He must be doing something right to be the first billionaire in hip hop. This. People not giving Dre the credit he deserves :roll: The greatest rap/hip hop/rnb producer that has graced this planet ffs! And where exactly did I say anything against that? All I said that he takes other people's music and puts a drumbeat and synth over the top - Which is exactly what he does. He created G-Funk. By taking p-Punk and putting drumbeats and synths over the top of other peoples music. I never once said anything negative about his musical ability at all. Yeah, perhaps the greatest hip hop producer in the world of all time. But in musical terms? Don't make me laugh. To consider him a genius on the level of someone like Beethoven is hilarious.

I never did that. I made a factual statement. I also studied music theory and worked as a studio engineer, so I actually know a little about what I'm talking about. afromanGT wrote: You don't get to the kind of wealth Dre has by 'putting a drum beat and synth over the top'.
What? Dre is the perfect example of that. It's exactly what he did lol. And it's just stupid to measure everything in money. What, next Beethoven was a shit musician because he died in squalor and alone? Or what, van Gogh is a terrible artist because he shot and killed himself because he was so lonely and depressed? Pfft, wealth isn't shit to measure anything by. If that were the case, how highly does Britney Spears rank, eh? what a ridiculous dick measuring contest the "greatness by wealth" one is. EDIT; Oh, and that "the first billionaire in hip hop". Yeah, and? It says absolutely nothing about musical ability. He can market things, which is exactly why this rumour exists.
