Those 7 Dislikes are: Timbaland, Swiss Beats, Diddy, Darkchild, Jermaine Dupri, Cool & Dre and Kanye West. A Part of them has admited that they are nothing to Battlecat but can't live with that. And the others like J.R Rotem etc. just don't saw that video and acting like there is no battlecat. AND battlecat, dr.dre, and dj quik have decided that they will never make a beat together, because the world-beat-trade would go down and the world would explode.

I agree Dre is not as soulful at Cat & Quick, but Dre has a cleaner sound....imo Dre has the most polished sounding tracks in hiphop.

@knansd True, Dre has a polishes sound, but he is not a producer, he is a composer lol. Sad, but true. i know one of his session bassist, and all Dre does is craft a loop, a couple of breaks, and the rest is left up th the musicians. now don't get me wrong, its still genius, but he cant do what Battlecat is doing, which is start to finish production. Do I respect Dre? Hell yes.

@BlkPapi4U Dre stole shit from everyone. He said the he did the beat for Got My Mind Made Up, he was credited with the California Love remix, which Laylaw actually produced, but that was Suge's fault. He even took credit for some Warren G's shit and since Warren was his brother, he ain't say shit.

@ChronicGod420 Daz did a SHITLOAD of beats that DRE got credit for around '93-94

@ChronicGod420 look up the definition of "Record Producer", because that is what these guys work in the record industry.

@ChronicGod420

Producers have many different jobs, but trust me. It is NOT someone who just makes beats. Otherwise I wouldn't be known as a producer, because I don't just make beats. But I am a studio producer and a entertainment performance producer. I DO make beats sometimes. If producers were only beat makers, then they would strictly be limited to working with beats... but they aren't. Because producers make movies, work on plays, etc.

[ChronicGod420]

@jamielrallen A producer is a beat maker, but a beat maker who knows how to control the creative process and knows the equipment and technology side to it. The role you described is that of a conductor. I believe it's an important role, but it's not production. It's helping the production and making it what work.
