Also check out XXL’s list of their top 50 Dr. Dre beats of all time. “Heat” better be named in that list, or else I’m deeming it as invalid. What are your favorite Dr. Dre beats?
PREVIOUS: Focus… – Homage To Daz & Soopafly f. Pro-Verb, Ras Kass, Kendrick Lamar & Latoiya Williams
The XXL list is missing a few obvious (older) ones, among them Boyz N The Hood, Gz Up Hoez Down, Alwayz Into Somethin, Real Niggaz Don’t Die. Shit is kinda geared towards younger fans, and choosing from a wider range of artists, I guess. Kendrick’s list was cool, though.
Think Still D.R.E. is his best, personally.

Jesus christ they’re over doin it on this Dre x Kendrick lemar shit.
For FUCKS SAKE we get you too are workint together dont have to add all this unncecessary hype. Dre’s beats ain’t even that amazing anymore. Alteast to me it seems like he’s lost the grimey aspect of hip hop. Musically they’e good but they seem so fake. they’re no emotion and grime

His work in late 80s/early 90s set a standard for hip hop production. He created a lane that MANY still follow.

How did he leave off Still D.R.E? That was his best beat IMO.

I don’t know if this Kendrick Lamar is a bona fide expert on Dr. Dre’s music, which I definitely wouldn’t claim to be, myself. But how could he leave off California Love. That was a humdinger of a tune.
My wife and I had that song playing at our 10th anniversary party (One of my nephews probably put the DJ up to it). You should have seen the faces on some of the older folks there. My great aunt, who was nearly 90 at the time nearly fell out of her chair. I just looked at wife and said, “well, we better start dancing before the police get here and wonder if it’s a party for crips and bloods”. :0

2pac- you can’t see me/Wow dr. Dre’s creativeness is outta this world. The eq’s are simply beautiful so, I’m jst going to go with the classical deathrow sounds he put down.

2Pac, Scratch, Pimp C, Bob Marley, Aaliyah, Left Eye, Eazy-E, Jam Master Jay, Rick James, Soulja Slim, Michael Jackson, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Proof (Of D-12) & Notorious B.I.G. could collaberate on a song & still none of y’all world hatin’ music dissecting pieces of not-to-God’s-impossible-standards-having pieces of shit’s worst diarheah comment having bitch made, waste of a perfectly good condom faggot fairies understand good music… Kanye… Tech N9ne… Eminem… Dr. Dre… Jay-Z… Lupe Fiasco… Nope!!!!!!!! Everyone on this site has NO respect for a masterpiece & this refers to the Eminem, Dr.Dre, Jay-Z, Stat Quo & Ca$his song “Syllable”… “Suck A Dick Up ‘Til U Hickup”…
BTW that was a post to draw your attention to this one, y’all think these guys are doing this just for u. They do it bc they love the art, not like most of the waste of flesh rappers out like the ones that actually ruin the art. Y’all kill rap cuz u wont support good rappers bc they’re not perfect. I’m sorry but Jesus Christ, Alah, Budda don’t rap! Support the ones that make it & maybe something will change… FAGGOTS!!! BITCH TITS!!! BUCK FUTTAS!!!
