  1. Is it me or is reference track just like, ghost writing. I love Dre songs as much as anyone but for a genre that is so pro originality, why is Dre loved so damn much given that its known that he gets most of his shit ghostwritten.

  2. I guess because of his influence and music. Although he isn’t writing the songs himself he would always deliver and bring great music.

    Yeah I mean, I really enjoy Dre’s music and even him rapping but knowing that he doesn’t write his own stuff I would never consider him one of the best rappers ever. But it is usually written well by whoever, so I enjoy it.

  6. Lol I definently don’t consider Dre as one of the best rappers ever. A dope ass producer yes but he is no contest for that title when he doesn’t write his own lines.
    Does anyone know of a song that Dre did by himself without any ghostwriter assistance?

    agreed but my internet is going slow as FUCK for some reason and its taking some time to re-up. i hate when this shit happens.

  8. His production makes up for not writing his own raps.

    Unlike a certain bad boy mogul.

  9. Exactly what I’m seeing. I was listening to 2001 the other day to test out my new headphones and sonically it’s fucking incredible, the beats, lyrics, and the mastering. It’s just tough to know that, while his delivery of the lyrics is on point, it’s not necessarily his own work. Then again with an album like Detox, the hype is so big that the best of the best in hip-hop is working to make it a masterpiece for him. It’s almost as if he’s trying to be the voice of the genre as a whole. Bittersweet.

  11. Kal, how does having a ghostrider take away from being a great producer? i’d rather hear him spit royce’s (especially) lines than his own if he can’t write well enough.

  12. His raps are an afterthought, I would think everyone knows that. Why are these “reference track” better than anything by writer?

    Clint Partie said this on July 11th, 2009 at 3:27 pm

  13. Hahaha. So true. I love Luda but this shit is doper than his usual shit. And having a ghostwriter doesn’t take away from being a great producer but part of being a ‘rapper’ is writing your own shit. If today it came out that Nas had a ghostwriter for Illmatic, the ensuing shit storm would be unprecedented. 2001 was amazing not JUST because of the production, but because of the songs as a whole including the lyrics. Knowing those lyrics are not his own, to me, take away a little something. As a whole though, I can’t complain because the music itself is sick.

    RIP said this on July 11th, 2009 at 3:50 pm

  26. Dre has never wrote his own shit, it’s pretty much common knowledge. Comparing him to Nas & shit like that is absolutely ridiculous. Again, his raps are an afterthought, just somethin’ to add flavor to his tracks (which generally include 1 or more of the dopest rappers on the planet).

    Clint Partie said this on July 11th, 2009 at 3:50 pm

    ================================================================

    Nas wasn’t known for production though. It’s not the same thing.

    As for 2001, I disagree. Aside from the guest appearances, the lyrics were okay but nothing spectacular . The beats really kept that cd afloat.

    Tommy said this on July 11th, 2009 at 3:54 pm

  29. I don’t think you can call lyrics an ‘afterthought’ when it comes to rap. If it were, he wouldn’t have the dopest guys in the game writing his lyrics. If they were, he would just stick to producing and make beats for those dope ass rappers. My point is it says SOMETHING, not everything, but SOMETHING to be said about a rapper who don’t write. I guess I’m saying that something. The fact that’s it’s common knowledge or that he doesn’t try to hide it doesn’t take away from that fact.

    Adder said this on July 11th, 2009 at 3:55 pm

  30. don’t really give a shit about the whole ghostwriter shit, I just fucking want this detox shit to drop already. dude’s just pushing the joint back more and more everytime a reference track leaks. feels like I’ll be a fuckin old man by the time this shit comes out…literally.

I’m not someone to down producers for having ghost writers, but this is a pretty blatant showcase of the good Doctor’s rapping process and it just gives away the mystery. It’s a decent track… so you be the judge. Props to 2D. [...]

  52. This is nice!!! Luda is that dude. As far as Dre writing his own material, who cares? He delivers the verses excellently; so, maybe more rappers need ghostwriters. Let’s face it, many, many, many have came and went and Dre is still here. He is doing something right. Nice post

  54. these demos are the best way to sell your lyrics to Dr Dre. Instead of just sending the lyrics, you can do that track. That’s what Luda did here, nothing more, nothing less. The same reason why Nino Bless had a referece track for detox even though Dre probably doesnt know who he is

    RIP said this on July 12th, 2009 at 8:46 am

  55. @ D. Fresco…How ironic. apparently YOU are the slow one. Although it is ludacris rapping on it, it is a REFERENCE TRACK. Meaning it is what dre. is going to be saying if he used the track. If you do your research, you can fine reference tracks floating around from everyone from T.I., Nino Bless, Eminem, etc. All of whom are speaking from the Dre’s perspective.

    …Come to think of it, what does Dre actually do anymore other than rap other peoples lyrics? Funny. Most of his beats are all by other cats like Khalil, Hi-Tek, Nottz, Focus, Jake-One, etc. I’ll take that lineup anyday, though!
