I know Stone and Jeff are particular fans of his work. He basically was NWA and his solo career saw some of the greatest hip-hop releases of all time. He became the spokesperson for life in urban America.

Dre is a pretty weak MC. He IS good, however, at picking people to work with.

if beats and music matter, then it's all about Dre... i have a friend who loves rap, and he always says that all the beats are Dre's... from Eminem in the 2000's to Snoop/Dre in the 90's to NWA (Cube) in the 80's, it's always been about Dre's music and samples... i'm no expert, but i would consider The Chronic to quite possibly be the best rap album ever, and again, it's all about Dre... and hell, NWA completely fell apart after Dre left, not Cube
plus, Cube's trying to be an actor... weaaaaaaaaaaaak... you dont see Dre pulling that shit

you should have posted this in the "best rap producer" thread. This is the best "gangsta rapper" thread. Dre's not even in the top 10.

Dre's like the Godfather; he put out the best "gansta rapper" album with The Chronic and now runs it all... pretty smart guy, if you ask me... The Chronic alone puts him in the top 5... throw in his work on NWA and he's top 3... consider his impact on the scene and contributions with other artists, and he's at the top... imo

You can't deny the guy's talent, though.
