Examples of Dre beats that aged poorly? Even his 80s/early 90s ones are still hard

All of these are nearly 30 years old and still hard af, and he has range and switched his sound up. Wish Dre did more pop

Also yeah certain s*** sounds like the time its from, that doesn’t make it bad. How do you think most music coming out now is gonna sound in 30 years? Some of it isnt even good now 😂

Agree with kanye...

But even Kanye's sampling started with the drums off xxxplosive

This was the point I was trying to get across

avi to post

He didn’t produce most of Compton lol

Even worse

Where are you from, out of curiosity?

Because the West Coast sound is timeless to me, but I'm also born and raised in California lmao

Not Kanye for sure. He not that good as those other producers.

Nope

One of the worst takes I've ever seen on this site.

Dre's music is some of the most timeless in hip hop, especially when you look at all his production outside of his solo albums.

Dre is underrated if anything.

A thinly veiled music hate thread

If a current rapper went over Forgot About Dre you wouldn’t even realize it’s 20 years old

I can never hear music as dated in some kind of bad way.Just a different sound. Can't relate

I’m starting to think this “dated” music angle isn’t about datedness at all. All music is quite literally dated. Especially the most beloved music; part of why it became beloved in the first place was how well it captured the time period it was in. Thriller sounds like it came out in the early 80s, MBDTF sounds like it came out at the turn of the 2010s, Doggystyle sounds like it came out 1993….I could go on

Maybe this dated argument is about campiness, cause it’s mainly aimed at music with campy sensibilities. Why the term dated and not campy or even silly/goofy? Anyones guess

But I do know one thing: Dr Dre has made some of the greatest hiphop music of all time, and if you’re gonna come with bold criticism over his production, it better not be hidden behind that weak ass dated argument

Ah, but they have!

It’s the perfect method of hating tbh

It’s like when a nigga is absolutely killing it in the present, u can be like “ok I can’t hate right now, but give me 10-15 years and I’m gonna spin back and say what ur doing now didn’t age well😈” and nobody will really be able to refute cause who the f*** wants to argue about some s*** that dropped 20 years ago

Georgia

Ban @op for never compiling a list to prove his point

this dropped in 1989 and the production still sounds fresh imo.

Doggystyle one of the most timeless albums I can think of. Production wise

You can't go wrong with that sound

Em's s*** might have aged worse but that's got more to do with him than Dre

Still sounds amazing Bushwick Bill intro lmao
