What Snoop said resonated more with Me personally however I see Dr Dre as the Hiphop king and true legend and one of the main inspirations for Me making Hiphop. Im nearly 40 however I think I missed the success train.
@@krusher74 I don't think it works like that, Dr Dre and Snoop talk facts but not the whole story from a new artist or producer stand point. I'm pretty sure that there was more then one producer on the NWA albums.
I love hearing them both show so much admiration & respect for each other. A lot of people are quick to tear people down, but not to show respect. It’s nice to see them talk so fondly of each other
@@coachk37 not Lloyd Banks. LB wrote all of his music. If you compare LB and the music game actually wrote, LB has better lyrics. The game s best songs were written by 50 and produced by Dre. That’s why Dre respected Anderson Paak and Kendrick more than Game.
there is a difference between a beatmaker and a producer. You can get a few beatmakers for a project but have a main producer. He makes it all come together
@@Topsey2000 completely wrong my man. Beatmaker is basicaly an engineer that creates sound with his hard skills, Producer is the one that tells you what to use, how to arrange best, the sound design input, and is generaly the one person that runs the whole project. So beatmaker would be more closer to mix master or just someone making sounds in bits, cause beats are usualy made like 8-16 bars. Producer makes the whole track and song. Not the same, but just to put it in simplest of terms. Producer is beatmakers boss and always and I mean always has the last word for any given project that the person is working on.
@@Topsey2000 It's weird that they explain it so clearly in the video, just like this other guy has too and you still don't understand the difference. You know how at a normal job you have a shift supervisor, but then there's also the entire plant manager? (Or insert McDonald's manager whatever). That's the everyday life comparison. Or Director vs Producer on a movie.
@@Topsey2000 Right, but he's ALSO an actual producer, whereas not every random person that can make it beat is a producer. That's where the two different terms come into play. As in, he has credits as producer on records where he didn't make the beat, if you've read "lyric sheets" that came with tapes and CDs back in the day for instance. Like on the Aftermath album when he opened that label up, other people have made beats for tracks he's the producer on. Steven Spielberg is the producer on many movies he doesn't direct.
Ironically, NAS started the whole multiple producers trend. Illmatic had Pete Rock, LES, DJ Premier, Large Professor and Q Tip. It was unheard of and the trend never really died.
Bro WTF u have no knowledge about hip hop!! go back to Cubes discography in 92 he had multiple producers that already had themselves established. Talking about Nas did. that first with illmatic
@@mikelmartschinke9686It wasn't really Tupac per se. It was Death Row in general. When Tupac signed with Death Row, Suge wanted to do things differently. He wanted every rapper and producer on the label to drop whatever project they were working on and work on All Eyez on Me. After the success of that album, that was gonna be the recipe for all albums produced on Death Row. But by that point, Death Row was a sinking ship so it never really took shape exactly.
We are in a NEW era of Artistry and Music Production today. Snoop touched on it with his statement about Beatmakers.. He gets it. The internet has changed access, collaboration and trends forever. The truth is It'll never be what it was but good music can (and will) be born and live on.
Beatmaking seems to be in such a bad place. I've been more into electronic music for years, but recently beatmaking videos have been popping up on my TH-cam, and it's just people throwing in pre-processed samples and scrolling synth presets. No soul, no originality, no expertise.
As an artist I've always just put my music out there! I've never really tried to "Make it". I just make my music for me and hopefully for people who feel like me or can relate. Sure I write Music in a band but I've always been a huge HipHop head and I still am! I always try to listen to any genre of music in general but HipHop & Punk will always be my home musically!
Amen to this. I'm from the music tech biz and my kid is an artist/songwriter/producer with a pub deal so really connecting with this. Like Dre says we have great new "player music" coming back. Check the WILLOW record. Crazy progressive and props to her for getting this out there. Like Snoop says, it's REAL easy to do some kinda music. So now I think the public is kinda glazed and with AI coming on I think younger fans are looking for something more visibly and audibly real. Thank you so much for this Stephen. Bless you! ❤
LOL Quincy Jones turning in his grave right now. If you mean strictly hip hop, then yeah Dre & Preemo are nice, but don't forget Timbaland, Organised Noise & Scott Storch.
Only difference I see is the 90s and 2000s rappers already used most of the good samples from the 70s and 80s. So today they gotta create more from scratch
I never realized how much sampling Dre did from 70s funk songs and not just a bit here and there, it's like lifting almost the whole tune but hardly no one knows because the songs he gets them from are so random lol Look up "pigs ho home" by Ronald Stein
I don't think illmatic started it but it was classic. Also there are albums where producers including Dre collaborated with other producer's that made great albums. Sidemote chronic 2001 was a great album
@@martinwebster9692in the east coast doing at time yeah bc with difference producers mcs from rakim kool g rap bdk krs one slick Rick ll cool j they were working with one producer
In case you didnt realize it, this was a big fn interview because pure wisdom of the industry was being laid out straight from legends! Shout of to Stephen for making this happen. Now ppl can come back to this in the future to see if Hip Hop fixes itself or not. We need the meat and potatoes of rap not this processed junk food.
They did in the 90s have multiple producers on one album. But they were hand picked by one producer Or all the Producers were legendary. Where now it's not
Just had this very discussion with my good friend. The truth is, ain’t nothing changed, old people just don’t speak the same language as the youth, no matter how cool the OG is. What Dre and Snoop are waiting for is for the next generation to go retro to an age they can relate to. Until then, “everything sounds the same…”
there were bad artists in the 90s too, they're just not remembered. Snoop and Dre were top of the game back then and they're remembered now. Same thing will happen with our era now.
2:30 thank you ! We need to go back to one good producer on each album so that it will feel like a solid piece of art. Now u have a mix bag which makes the albums sound inconsistent. There isn't a vibe to any of the albums now. 20/20 experience was the last album with one producer on it. He had J-roc but he was still under and with timbaland. The producer oversees the entire project decides what works what doesn't - makes sure that everything matches and vibes together as well as the music itself that's all lost now . If there are other producers It should be producers the main producer hand picked and trust. They should work under the main producer to keep there vision x vibe the same.
Multiple producers on 1 song came from a long history musicians contributing to records and not getting paid royalties, and producers struggling with sample clearances. A beat with 3 producers that made their instrumental from scratch is easier to deal with than having 1 producer using 2 copyrighted samples
There's a huge difference between being a musician and just doing Hip-Hop. Ole Skool artist like Snoop and Doc were musicians that played instruments and understood music theory. Many of today's artist simply hire multiple producers to do the heavy lifting for them. Being simple Rappers, they are no more a musician than a Fry cook can be called a "Chef".
Artist from the 70s had music programs at public school and learned to play instruments. Artist from the 50s and 60s learned how to play an instrument playing at church. Public school music program budgets were cut a long long time ago and fewer people go to church to have an opportunity to learn there. So the 80s turned into a drum machine and midi programming era. The 90s added digital to midi and drum machines. Most variations of beats, chord progressions, and baselines have been recorded and sold as loops. Loops are seamlessly integrated with a DAW. You can deconstruct loops and make new compositions from them. The reason there is a lack of originality is because everyone is chasing the same bag. Many do not understand how many other bags are out there to get.
Snoop could tell you. Last year, he was just on DOMi and JD Beck’s debut album along with Thundercat, Herbie Hancock, Mac DeMarco and Anderson P.a.a.k. There are TREMENDOUS young talents doing some really important stuff these days. I want other talented Gen Zers to do something cool and experimental.
YES!!!!!! THIS!!!!!! I'm an author and the same nonsense goes for writers - people self-publish their work all the time these days and then sell a couple copies to friends and family and act like a big shot published writer and their stories are formulaic, reductive trash. Same thing happening in the music business. It's really sad, but at least it explains why there so much shitty music now. Dre is right though, someone's about to come up that none of us were expecting. I just hope it's sometime soon. Thanks for enlightening people on this nonsense, Snoop and Dre!
I agree with some of Snoop’s points too many people sounding alike, but I find it funny Snoop trying to shit on today’s production techniques using loops, sample packs etc. Sampling and looping old Motown and funk records like they did was basically the same damn thing.
This the guy who changes names & and jumps on fads 4 money! I can never take him seriously & as an Mc, he is mediocre at best. Doggystyle, lyrically is his only credible album. Ice T, Xzibit, Chase Infinit, Krondon & many other West Coast Mc's are way better than him lyrically. His tone is his niche & other than that 🤔🤔. I'm not even hating on dude. Much success to him.
Not really. To sample a record you have to go through it and identify the best parts and then chop them down and adjust the tempo/key to fit your beat, while also dealing with background elements and static that may or not work with what you're trying to make. The sample packs have musicians record loops of isolated instruments in pristine quality and they're all organized in libraries, and many of them are tailored to work in certain DAWs so that you can adjust the tempo/key however you want without distorting the sound. It's true both ways are still sampling someone else's music, but it's way more plug & play now, to where people with no talent or knowhow can make beats, which was Snoops point I think.
@@jgk381it’s true using loops and sample packs is a little easier technically, but now you have the problem of sifting through hundreds and even thousands of files trying to find something unique to use and/or put effects on things or filter them to sound different. Back then they were just straight up lifting the drum beats, baselines, keyboard/piano parts, horn sections EVERYTHING from other people’s songs. Snoop only rapped and never bothered to get into beat making and actual production. Like it was something too hard to bother doing. I think nowadays he’s just jealous that he can see a kid now making beats he wish he could with just cellphone apps now. Him complaining about production techniques today in every interview, he’s starting to come off sounding like just an old dog that won’t learn any new tricks. Too lazy to learn today’s technology.
I’d say up until about 2022. The Griselda sound is a little burnt out. Aside from Conway-West and Benny have released the same project a million times. Rome Streetz is dope and the rest are boring.
It’s funny they are complaining about the perceived lack of instrumental skill, musicianship, melody and harmony in modern music considering they come from a hip-hop background where none of those things were especially important to begin with
Listen to the bassline and synth line of “nothin but a g thang” and tell me there’s no melody, pocket, or musicianship there. That’s some of the most hummable music ever written.
@ 100% agree. G-Funk was definitely a rap subgenre wit a big focus on melody and more live instrumentation. Just meant overall, rap is more about flow, lyricism and rhythm than conventional instrumental skill. Not saying that critically - just kinda funny hearing rappers talking about how people can’t play well these days when that wasn’t historically the focus of rap
@@pensivepenguin3000 I totally dig that. This interview, in particular, highlights the fact that these dudes are maybe a bit more musical than we've given them credit for in the past. They clearly know their stuff.
I grew up around a lot of pro football players, Art Strahan, Ernie Holmes, Kevin Dean, Zach Bronson, Archie Manning, Bubba and Tody Smith, Josh Reynolds, Warren Wells, Jamal Charles (who’s auntie is really beautiful) just to name a few and I’ve always liked the KC Chiefs because they were originally from Texas, I played all sports in high won a state championship in football while there, played D1 in and ran track and I really only enjoy watching guys who are my religion or are from Texas, I don’t have a favorite team really but a soft spot for KC
There's a difference between a producer and a beat maker. A producer uses a beat maker like he uses a saxophone player, they're just an instrument for the composer.
In terms or Rap, Soul, R&B, Funk music these days I think The Weeknd, Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar, J-Cole are the only ones pushing music forward and really creating genius music like Dre and Snoop are talking about.
Am I correct in saying Nas's illmatic, Tupac's All eyez on me and Biggie's Life After Death and a number of other hip hop albums had this thing with several producers on the album as opposed to sticking to one producer.
The ppl who supposedly touched lil rod are the same ppl from the past that influenced him this didn't just start yesterday dre him self has crazy allegations that went under the rug
Dre and snoop forget that illmatic did different producers on it which could have start this different producer thing...just a thought and plus dre used ghost producers like scott storch and mell man
the multiple producers & collabing is to cover the whole market and not aim specificly. Growning on each others fanbase. That is why music produced now sounds all the same, it's beatmakers collabs not visionaries. If you choose direction in will get identity. But that's when you get when non musicians are shitting out "music".
I think people are mis characterizing what Dre is suggesting with the singular producer concept . His point is you “should be able to produce an entire project” as a PRODUCER. And the most elite producers have done that. He’s saying projects should be cohesive and that’s easier when you have ONE person . People are naming Nas but illmatic still had a degree of cohesion because of Nas being such a prolific MC. Ironically he is the main one doing albums with only HITBOY . Full circle
There are really only two options, It's either the base Mac Mini or the base Mac Studio. That's it. You get a far, far worse machine upgrading the Mini than simply getting the base Mac Studio. You have to wait till summer to get the new M4 Studio, but a far far better machine than upgrading a mini.
Before y’all start calling out East coast and Nas. Dre Didn’t even do NWA by himself. DJ Yella Did the heavy lifting. Go google what he did on those albums and I bet y’all feel crunchy on the inside. Secondly.. Snoop first album was Daz Dillinger , Dre and Warren G. What we not about to do is blame Nas for anything. Dr. Dre is a great curator. Let’s give credit to his ghostproducers. Also. The Glove, Mel-Man, Scoop Deville, Neff-U, Scotch Storch, Daz Dillinger. Pac already told you this. Dre for as good as he appears to be… has a cheat code with in-house musicians who add on to the records others produced with things such as Synths, baselines and lovely cords. Dre and Snoop was’nt always cool. They had beef for like 4 years and snoop ran to no limit . We not gonna act like Snoop didn’t have multiple producers either on Last Meal, R&G, EGO tripping, Blue Carpet, Paid the Boss, from neptunes to premier.. case in point. Nothing is wrong with having multiple producers for an album. Collaboration is the key to success.
Dr.dre is walking empire ,he build men empire ,snoop Dogg, slim shady ,50 cent , the game . Dr.dre is build breed producer from nwa to death raw, aftermath records
Respect to both these legends. I love to hear Dre speaking on underground rappers and that he's checking them on the 'gram.
What Snoop said resonated more with Me personally however I see Dr Dre as the Hiphop king and true legend and one of the main inspirations for Me making Hiphop. Im nearly 40 however I think I missed the success train.
so then those should be the people that he's signing to a small independent label. to help them up.
@@krusher74 I don't think it works like that, Dr Dre and Snoop talk facts but not the whole story from a new artist or producer stand point. I'm pretty sure that there was more then one producer on the NWA albums.

Damn I was like is Snoop ever gonna exhale that smoke…
I didn't exhale.
I said damn he just ate that smoke lol

@@jgk381it’s true using loops and sample packs is a little easier technically, but now you have the problem of sifting through hundreds and even thousands of files trying to find something unique to use and/or put effects on things or filter them to sound different. Back then they were just straight up lifting the drum beats, baselines, keyboard/piano parts, horn sections EVERYTHING from other people’s songs. Snoop only rapped and never bothered to get into beat making and actual production. Like it was something too hard to bother doing. I think nowadays he’s just jealous that he can see a kid now making beats he wish he could with just cellphone apps now. Him complaining about production techniques today in every interview, he’s starting to come off sounding like just an old dog that won’t learn any new tricks. Too lazy to learn today’s technology.
@@Nomasiacsnoop is like a prop or a character like Walt Disney 😂
KASHIF..
was a producer
and beat maker..

(Theory and programming)
Roll Tide ❤ Saben is a legend!!!
Griselda's been holding it down for years.
Only the real ones know about Griselda and the TRUST gang. 🙌🏽
Conway the machine is a beast!!!
I agree! 👍🏽
I’d say up until about 2022. The Griselda sound is a little burnt out. Aside from Conway-West and Benny have released the same project a million times. Rome Streetz is dope and the rest are boring.
Wtf Griselda is basically horror core
It’s funny they are complaining about the perceived lack of instrumental skill, musicianship, melody and harmony in modern music considering they come from a hip-hop background where none of those things were especially important to begin with
Listen to the bassline and synth line of “nothin but a g thang” and tell me there’s no melody, pocket, or musicianship there. That’s some of the most hummable music ever written.
@ 100% agree. G-Funk was definitely a rap subgenre wit a big focus on melody and more live instrumentation. Just meant overall, rap is more about flow, lyricism and rhythm than conventional instrumental skill. Not saying that critically - just kinda funny hearing rappers talking about how people can’t play well these days when that wasn’t historically the focus of rap
@@pensivepenguin3000 I totally dig that. This interview, in particular, highlights the fact that these dudes are maybe a bit more musical than we've given them credit for in the past. They clearly know their stuff.
@@TheNotoriousMr.BDre lifted that straight from the original record- Leon Haywood “I wanna do something freaky to you.”
Snoop and Dre ❤❤❤❤ Detroit Lions Rock
I grew up around a lot of pro football players, Art Strahan, Ernie Holmes, Kevin Dean, Zach Bronson, Archie Manning, Bubba and Tody Smith, Josh Reynolds, Warren Wells, Jamal Charles (who’s auntie is really beautiful) just to name a few and I’ve always liked the KC Chiefs because they were originally from Texas, I played all sports in high won a state championship in football while there, played D1 in and ran track and I really only enjoy watching guys who are my religion or are from Texas, I don’t have a favorite team really but a soft spot for KC
There's a difference between a producer and a beat maker. A producer uses a beat maker like he uses a saxophone player, they're just an instrument for the composer.
Stephen I need that shirt you got on!
No Doubt ..dre made mega stars of all his artist , from Eazy on down...the Game " included.
In terms or Rap, Soul, R&B, Funk music these days I think The Weeknd, Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar, J-Cole are the only ones pushing music forward and really creating genius music like Dre and Snoop are talking about.
Am I correct in saying Nas's illmatic, Tupac's All eyez on me and Biggie's Life After Death and a number of other hip hop albums had this thing with several producers on the album as opposed to sticking to one producer.
Gotta be careful producers nowadays end up like lil rod aka Rodney Jones the producer behind the love album by diddly 😮
The ppl who supposedly touched lil rod are the same ppl from the past that influenced him this didn't just start yesterday dre him self has crazy allegations that went under the rug
They had variety of producers in one album in the 90s too 🤷🏾♂️
Mr Smith there no different they both they means well towards everyone gave a fare chance love them dudes💚🇺🇸✌️💯
it do be crazy to think that the next big thing probably aint even got a band name or a stage name n we aint gone know about it for decades
Dre and snoop forget that illmatic did different producers on it which could have start this different producer thing...just a thought and plus dre used ghost producers like scott storch and mell man
Great ep
the multiple producers & collabing is to cover the whole market and not aim specificly. Growning on each others fanbase. That is why music produced now sounds all the same, it's beatmakers collabs not visionaries. If you choose direction in will get identity. But that's when you get when non musicians are shitting out "music".
Would have loved to see Dr dre produce a song or 2 for bone thugs.
DRE THE GOAT FRFR THIS NIGGA WAS IN NWA AFTER WITH THE WORLD CLASS WORKING CRU
I get where he's coming from but Illmatic had like 9 diff producers and it's still a classic
yella is under rated
Stephen A got his Nino Brown fit on for this video 😆
*Snoop or Dre makes a great point
Stephen A: "Yea, I was gonna say that"
Finally SAA goes with something he actually knows. No more political views.
The powerful people in the house
Dre does not just have "artists," he has musical icons. Snoop, 50, Em, Kendrick, Scotti Storch, Anderson Paak. who i think is well on his way
He’s a sampler, but one of the best samplers
Thats 90% of the hip hop producers other then The Roots because they were a band/rap group
One of Dre's innovations was to bring in musicians to play parts instead of using samples.
I think people are mis characterizing what Dre is suggesting with the singular producer concept . His point is you “should be able to produce an entire project” as a PRODUCER. And the most elite producers have done that. He’s saying projects should be cohesive and that’s easier when you have ONE person . People are naming Nas but illmatic still had a degree of cohesion because of Nas being such a prolific MC. Ironically he is the main one doing albums with only HITBOY . Full circle
Stephen A is trying to avoid that smoke.😂🤣
Beautiful !
Much love from INDIA 🎉❤
There are really only two options, It's either the base Mac Mini or the base Mac Studio. That's it. You get a far, far worse machine upgrading the Mini than simply getting the base Mac Studio. You have to wait till summer to get the new M4 Studio, but a far far better machine than upgrading a mini.
It comes from looping. Different producers is loops and samples
2PAC GREATEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME 📻📻📻📻📻📻📻📻🎙️🎤🎙️🎤💯☝️😎
Not if diddy has anything to say about it
You spelled Biggie wrong
You can say that again 💯
No sorry Tupac was a agent actor and most importantly he was a closet sadamiightttee
@@kvnd6577 SAY WHAT?????? C'mon man 🤷♂️
1:33 💀 sorry come again
Snoop was saying some real sh!t!
100 bring REAL ART BACK HIPHOP
Before y’all start calling out East coast and Nas. Dre Didn’t even do NWA by himself. DJ Yella Did the heavy lifting. Go google what he did on those albums and I bet y’all feel crunchy on the inside. Secondly.. Snoop first album was Daz Dillinger , Dre and Warren G. What we not about to do is blame Nas for anything. Dr. Dre is a great curator. Let’s give credit to his ghostproducers. Also. The Glove, Mel-Man, Scoop Deville, Neff-U, Scotch Storch, Daz Dillinger. Pac already told you this. Dre for as good as he appears to be… has a cheat code with in-house musicians who add on to the records others produced with things such as Synths, baselines and lovely cords. Dre and Snoop was’nt always cool. They had beef for like 4 years and snoop ran to no limit . We not gonna act like Snoop didn’t have multiple producers either on Last Meal, R&G, EGO tripping, Blue Carpet, Paid the Boss, from neptunes to premier.. case in point. Nothing is wrong with having multiple producers for an album. Collaboration is the key to success.
One of these guys is an informant.
Dr.dre is walking empire ,he build men empire ,snoop Dogg, slim shady ,50 cent , the game . Dr.dre is build breed producer from nwa to death raw, aftermath records
