    Since Kanye doesn't rely on Gangsta ? I say yes he will be better than Dre

    LOL @ Dre doin Gangsta ? till he's 50


    Kanye is a better producer today than Dr. Dre but so are a lot of producers. Dre in his prime had way more hits than Kanye so this is like saying Kevin Durant is a better basketball player than Jordan b/c he fell off. I understand that's a physical sport where age is more important but I think it's fair to think most rappers/producers will not be as good when they're getting up to 40 & 50.

    Kanye has 2-3 classics and worked with a lot of artists while Dre has 2 classics both better than Kanye's best album and been the main producer for 3 power house labels in Ruthless, Death Row & Aftermath. While I think his Death Row days are his best, you could make the argument for the other 2 with NWA or his help with Eminem, Obie, 50 cent, Game, etc.

    I agree that Dre seems to suck these days but that doesn't erase history and his contribution to it.

    Nah, these ? gon negate decades worth of work because he hasn't released that much LATELY. We in a ADD society foreal. That's one of the main reasons the hip-hop game ? up in the first place.

    When was the last time Dre made a truly great beat without help from someone

    Ironically, Dr. Dre has made several beats by his lonely since Kanye has. "Ridaz" >>>> "Haters" and "Young Forever". Those are some of the last beats either producer did on their own.

    Again, people are giving Kanye a pass for using co-producers or are simply unaware that dude rarely works alone these days behind the boards.

    Glad you brought that up:

    http://www.xxlmag.com/news/2011/06/d-dot-on-kanye-west-he-didnt-do-right-by-his-og/

    Former Diddy-affiliated producer and ex-Kanye West mentor Deric “D-Dot” Angelettie said that he and the Louis Vuitton Don are on speaking terms, though he feels slighted by his one-time protégé.

    “When we see each other we shake each other hands and say what’s up, but he didn’t do right by his O.G.,” D-Dot, who is also known for his famous alter-ego The Mad Rapper, told XXLMag.com. “I didn’t do nothing to him. I didn’t rob him. All that ghost production ? he started and had the world makin’ ‘em think that he did everything.”

    The two have experienced friction over West alleging that D-Dot, who was a member of the Bad Boy production squad The Hitmen and created tracks including The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Hypnotize” and Diddy’s “It’s All About the Benjamins,” took credit for beats that an up-and-coming West produced.

    “He’s doin’ it right now and been doin’ for the last 5 or 6 years,” D-Dot said, “so all that ? he had people believing is actually disrespectful by believing that somebody like myself would actually take his music and rob him and put my name on it like he didn’t get credit.”

    Look out for the full feature on D-Dot next Tuesday (June 21). —Lauren Carter with additional reporting by Carl Chery

    ^^^ That's from an interview two days ago of D. Dot clarifying that Kanye is doing now what Kanye accused him of doing.

    Why ask what was the last great beat that Dre created by himself, when Kanye doesn't even make beats by himself anymore? Looking closely at what both producers have done in the past five years, Dre definitely gives Kanye competition.

    lol I don't think so

    Like I said even on Ye's worst album 808s he still had some great production like Robocop (which he did himself)
