"It's a big difference" - Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg on modern music producers

there is a difference between a beatmaker and a producer. You can get a few beatmakers for a project but have a main producer. He makes it all come together

[@Topsey2000]

Producer + Beat Makers are all the same thing. You're just exchanging one word for another fancier word

[@frenkyboydnb]

@@Topsey2000 completely wrong my man. Beatmaker is basicaly an engineer that creates sound with his hard skills, Producer is the one that tells you what to use, how to arrange best, the sound design input, and is generaly the one person that runs the whole project. So beatmaker would be more closer to mix master or just someone making sounds in bits, cause beats are usualy made like 8-16 bars. Producer makes the whole track and song. Not the same, but just to put it in simplest of terms. Producer is beatmakers boss and always and I mean always has the last word for any given project that the person is working on.

[@ChubbsTheCat]

@@Topsey2000 It's weird that they explain it so clearly in the video, just like this other guy has too and you still don't understand the difference. You know how at a normal job you have a shift supervisor, but then there's also the entire plant manager? (Or insert McDonald's manager whatever). That's the everyday life comparison. Or Director vs Producer on a movie.

[@Topsey2000]

@@ChubbsTheCat Does Dre make beats? Yes so he's a beat maker. Simple

[@ChubbsTheCat]

@@Topsey2000 Right, but he's ALSO an actual producer, whereas not every random person that can make it beat is a producer. That's where the two different terms come into play. As in, he has credits as producer on records where he didn't make the beat, if you've read "lyric sheets" that came with tapes and CDs back in the day for instance. Like on the Aftermath album when he opened that label up, other people have made beats for tracks he's the producer on. Steven Spielberg is the producer on many movies he doesn't direct.

[@jacobsfitnessladder285]

​@@mikelmartschinke9686It wasn't really Tupac per se. It was Death Row in general. When Tupac signed with Death Row, Suge wanted to do things differently. He wanted every rapper and producer on the label to drop whatever project they were working on and work on All Eyez on Me. After the success of that album, that was gonna be the recipe for all albums produced on Death Row. But by that point, Death Row was a sinking ship so it never really took shape exactly.

I never realized how much sampling Dre did from 70s funk songs and not just a bit here and there, it's like lifting almost the whole tune but hardly no one knows because the songs he gets them from are so random lol Look up "pigs ho home" by Ronald Stein

[@dedrickwhite4794]

Facts…dre is a brilliant producer but early on in his career he was literally using the whole beat

[@southernflavamaker]

RZA had an odd drummer's ear....

[@rudyfrancisco5710]

The sampling it's very essence of rap,so I don't understand why some people make a process of Dr Dre.

[@travislee9662]

I agree with some of Snoop’s points too many people sounding alike, but I find it funny Snoop trying to shit on today’s production techniques using loops, sample packs etc. Sampling and looping old Motown and funk records like they did was basically the same damn thing.

[@Nomasiac]

This the guy who changes names & and jumps on fads 4 money! I can never take him seriously & as an Mc, he is mediocre at best. Doggystyle, lyrically is his only credible album. Ice T, Xzibit, Chase Infinit, Krondon & many other West Coast Mc's are way better than him lyrically. His tone is his niche & other than that 🤔🤔. I'm not even hating on dude. Much success to him.

[@jetko43]

​@@Nomasiacstrong words,, I see your point though

[@jgk381]

Not really. To sample a record you have to go through it and identify the best parts and then chop them down and adjust the tempo/key to fit your beat, while also dealing with background elements and static that may or not work with what you're trying to make. The sample packs have musicians record loops of isolated instruments in pristine quality and they're all organized in libraries, and many of them are tailored to work in certain DAWs so that you can adjust the tempo/key however you want without distorting the sound. It's true both ways are still sampling someone else's music, but it's way more plug & play now, to where people with no talent or knowhow can make beats, which was Snoops point I think.

[@travislee9662]

@@jgk381it’s true using loops and sample packs is a little easier technically, but now you have the problem of sifting through hundreds and even thousands of files trying to find something unique to use and/or put effects on things or filter them to sound different. Back then they were just straight up lifting the drum beats, baselines, keyboard/piano parts, horn sections EVERYTHING from other people’s songs. Snoop only rapped and never bothered to get into beat making and actual production. Like it was something too hard to bother doing. I think nowadays he’s just jealous that he can see a kid now making beats he wish he could with just cellphone apps now. Him complaining about production techniques today in every interview, he’s starting to come off sounding like just an old dog that won’t learn any new tricks. Too lazy to learn today’s technology.

[@infiniteuniverse9528]

There's a huge difference between being a musician and just doing Hip-Hop. Ole Skool artist like Snoop and Doc were musicians that played instruments and understood music theory. Many of today's artist simply hire multiple producers to do the heavy lifting for them. Being simple Rappers, they are no more a musician than a Fry cook can be called a "Chef".

[@productions271]

Am I correct in saying Nas's illmatic, Tupac's All eyez on me and Biggie's Life After Death and a number of other hip hop albums had this thing with several producers on the album as opposed to sticking to one producer.

[@Pootjuice]

One producer on one project is really done. If I can go to iTunes to buy just one song I’m saving money. Or I could take the money I would spend to just rent music on a streaming service. The consumer has too many options and bc of that they try to flood a project with hit beats or 10 features to generate the most money.

[@SmashingSebastianTV]

the multiple producers & collabing is to cover the whole market and not aim specificly. Growning on each others fanbase. That is why music produced now sounds all the same, it's beatmakers collabs not visionaries. If you choose direction in will get identity. But that's when you get when non musicians are shitting out "music".

[@DreRamirez92]

This is my opinion but unfortunately (im against this but), music is evolving into moments of stimulation for short burst. Actual musicianship is a decaying art. Discipline is one of the keys to making great lasting music. A lot of new artists might not have that in the future. It's whatever is stimulating at the moment. Why? Things like letting the computer "handle the hard part for you." And it's all going to be brought on by AI. Those that have actual skill will probably be overshadowed by technology(which they will probably embrace the new tech). Just like a lot of media in the future. I still dont know if it'll sound better or just a cheap copy of what we had. Music made by robots to put it frank.
