    Deep down this is dre In the game right now getting beats to artists now and how good those songs do and how good they are.

    Is he relevant? Imo no

    Young berg is more relevant than dre

    Zaytoven is more relevant than dre


    Dre = cool and dre

    Hell no, who out there is checking for a Dre beat?

    What about todays music scene points to ? wanting to hear Dre tracks? When wack rappers have hits it goes to show you don't nobody need a Dre beat cause the scene likes the production that's out there, no one checking for G Funk!

    I guess. Its in how you judge "relavent". For instance I played some songs from 2001 yesterday. Its "relavent" because its what I wanted to listen to currently. A lot of his older songs Chronic era are still songs I want to listen to now...making them "relevant" to me thats what matters. As far as current production, I'd say yeah the example of the latest song I heard produced by him was the TI song. It made me think, he only produces when he wants to its not lie he's putting out a lot of music.

    Missed the thread and the bet but Dre is not relevant as a producer (IRL) nor do I think he capable of producing a hit

    And I think you'd be hard pressed to find him producing solo ala Kanye.

    It's OK to say this. Takes nothing away from his legend status.

    People are here are stuck in a bubble

    Dre produced a song with an Aaliyah sample and couldn't even make it a hit cmon man. Him being a producer of a song really doesn't move anybody lol . Clearly he can still produce cuz that songs production is so good but it won't make a break a song to a hit. If y'all can't see that then you guys truly stuck in the past

    It was a yes or no question Mikey. You and your @FaggyAF buddy already lost, power in numbers.

    the Compton album..
    somebody fill me in cause I honestly don't know and don't care to do the research..

    but was that basically a Dre's Album IN NAME??
    meaning a bunch of other producers getting a co'sign to contribute??

    cause thats what I mean by Dre still bein relevant in name..
    cause if u get a Dre co'sign ur basically in..
    but aint nobody checkin for a Dre beat like that..

    this a new generation.

    it was a showcase album with a bunch of rappers known and unknown... not sure how many ghostproducers he had but the consensus said it was Fire

    he wasnt struggling to put a single out. he just didnt get the reaction that he wanted. Kush Debut at 34 on the billboard charts. i seen rappers debut from 40 to 60 and yall ? would say "W." so his "failure" is better than most rappers' W lol

    And didn't even go higher. There was just a thread how that new Nicki song charted high then quickly dropped..

    Why yall ? talking about old ? lmao! We talking about 2017! No one is checking for a Dre beat when MetroBoomin, MikeWill, and ton of other producers are what the rappers/singers are running to now for joints. Dre is a legend and always will be, but this year he hasnt done anything. Even the Compton album he dropped last year was lukewarm.

    I mean...take a second to think about the question.

    Is Dr Dre a dope producer? Yes he is
    Is Dr Dre better than the majority of producers out right now? Yes he is
    Is Dr Dre relevant in 2017? ehhhhhhhh I dunno man

    Me personally, if he dropped an album i would be all over that...that aint the question tho...the question is, is he relevant....nah ?
