  • Its pretty clear that qtip just focused more on the music and dre focused more on the image and the marketing

    Also helps that dre is kinda seen as a package deal with NWA, snoop, eminem to a lot of folks

    Can we be honest... nigga aren't even really appraising dre like that anymore

    Tip does have a crazy nice pipeline of influence and artists, fs. Native Tongues one of the more under discussed things in rap history. Would've been dope

    The weird thing is 20 years ago it was probably over-discussed.

    Dre is still getting acknowledged at award shows.

    Where are you getting this from?

  • Can’t compare the styles at all. Q tip is lo-fi. Dre is the crispest clean. Dre is also like the godfather of rap with the lineage that came from him

    kanye and metro was just glazing dre the last few years and dre just got a major standing ovation after the pop out lol

    and his recent snoop album has been praised for its sound design and mixing

    idk who you talking too - and he is still the standard in the industry for music quality and mastering

    and - compton soundtrack and chronic 2001 are literally still being used as the majority main reference for sound in Rap in any region

    most people talk about dre in terms of producing or rapping but his engineering is even more pivotal and influential that extends to even other genres - and it the main thing he's still majorly involved with to this day

    still the blueprint for clean sounds that still hit hard with chronic 2001, still the blueprint for gritty sound that isnt washed/muddied out with chronic og, and compton soundtrack became a new industry standard with arrangement and getting clarity with so many different instruments and density going at once

    he is the backbone of the professional industry - still

    and this isnt even going into his rapping, collaborative or beat ish

    or him repairing the industry n relations after the east/west "war"

    or his biggest family tree in all of hiphop, that is also still going and continues growing branches

  • West coast always been super gassed for some reason

  • I prefer qtip and his branch of influence more.

    But the reason why dre is rated so highly is his direct involvement producing and executive producing several classics along with his own

    Straight Outta Compton
    Chronic
    2001
    Doggystyle
    AEOM
    SSLP
    MMLP
    Documentary
    GRODT
    GKMC
