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

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