There are alot of rappers out there that also produce tracks and vice versa. Who do you guys think is the best duo skilled performer overall?
Ill have to say dj quik is the best producer and rapper. His constant with the rhymes and beats. And the worst has to be eminem. He needs to just stick to rhymes he cant produce for s#$t.

me............

Doctor Dre.....just check his track record,....

Doctor Dre.....just check his track record,....

He doesnt write his rhymes.

Godzhand doesn't know rap.
He thinks Kool G Rap was born in Atlanta.

Dre has only 2 albums solo over his 20 year career which is a poor effort to me.

haha kool g rap was the bomb is he ever gonna drop another solo

I'd have to say The Beatnuts.

Ohh beatnuts thats nice. One of my fav all time groups.

Kanye is nice at both. Jermaine Dupri can write good songs. Hes not the best rapper though.

RZA no question

or MF Doom

I don't know who's the greatest, but I like Havoc(Moob Deep), Ant Banks, DJ Quik, David Banner just to name some.

RZA and David Banner two good choices.

Rza is nice, I used to hate on him, like the fool I am.

He doesnt write his rhymes.
Who does?? Very few in the industry today my friend...if you know music then you must know that..Dre write some raps just not all...Hell even Kanye West has a ghost writer..

Dre has only 2 albums solo over his 20 year career which is a poor effort to me.
Sorry playa, you music don't know your music then..." Yall motherfer's forgot about Dre"...that track was for all the haters...go listen to it again..

Robert Diggs without any question.

God don't let me hear anyone mention that jheri curl clown DJ Quik.

he doesnt write his own ****...
You forgot about DRE...Yea he had a Ghost writer but like I said almost every artist to ever come and go has had one...all his **** wasnt wrote playa...

You're truly a ****ing dumbass.

I dont play with kids..if you are not going to speak with sense then dont speak at all...Rosewood's Little Hip Hop *****...you thought I forgot about you...

most of it is, i dont remember dre writing his own ****..

Kanye is nice at both. Jermaine Dupri can write good songs. Hes not the best rapper though.
Kanye's lyrics are weak as hell for the most part

get a life...

Kanye's lyrics are weak as hell for the most part

Really? I disagree. I think hes silly with a lot of his songs and rhymes, but I think hes above average lyrically and has a good flow.

get a life...
Get a life....I knew you was a hoe...you luv *****, no ***** you are *****......Rosewood's little Hip Hop *****...

most of it is, i dont remember dre writing his own ****..
No doubt he had a hellava ghost writer but it wasnt all wrote...like i said, Kanye has a ghost..hell he, the ghost writer, wrote most of the College Dropout & Late Registration...Slim Shady is nice also...he has put in some work over the past couple years....

RZA

agreed.

Rosewood is an idiot...go and look at every single one of Dre's albums and look at who wrote it. S.Carter aka Jay-Z wrote Still D.R.E. if you didn't know, and Royce Da 5'9'' and Crooked I write most of his rhymes.

As for Kanye, he isn't really good at anything I don't even like a lot of his beats they are mad overhyped, they repeat the same words throughout the song Dipset-style. And Kanye's ghostwriter is Rhymefest and (I think) Consequence. Lil' Wayne's ghost was in a XXL a couple issues ago, can't remember the name. Dre's are Royce, Crooked I, even Jay-Z like I said.

Yeah its well known that Dre has ghostwriters.

And I must be crazy if Big Daddy Kane didn't Ghost-write "Keep their heads ringing" by Dre Dre. Either that or they switched brains for a week. Oh and some rappers just couldn't get away with using Ghost -writers; their style is too ideosyncratic. If for example Nas started using a ghost writer everyone would know it.

you stupid if you believe ghostwriters wrote EVERY Dre hit..yo just plain stupid..I frankly dont give a damn what you like about Kanye...I simple said he and MOST of the artist from any genre has/had ghostwriters..like you said, the back of most CD's will tell you everything. But what about the cats that are paid under the table to keep quiet??...Most of Dre **** was not him, but some was, so he is my pick...sorry if that makes you dudes mad.....So called Hip Hop GODs of Boxingscene..

I'll say it's Dre, he only had two albums but there is no denying his genius...Kanye West is runner-up!!!

Did anyone write 'Keep Their Heads Ringin' for Dr. Dre?

How ****ing awesome is that. Lyrics are pretty sick too.

I'd say the RZA, although sometimes his poor timing used to annoy the hell out of me, especially when sandwiched between U-God and Inspecktah Deck on 'Its Yourz'...

RZA for sure and probably Kanye eventhough his lyrics aint the strongest and it was rumored that rhymesfest writes sum of his lyrics!!

You can't compare Dre with the likes of Warren G, DJ Quik or RZA. You just can't. These guys make their beats from SCRATCH while Dre needs the help of Storch, Elizondo, Mel-Man, Daz (G-Funk, Deathrow times).

Dre is nothing but a co-producer, he's no better then Puffy or Irv Gotti. Everything he produced with Ruthless was with Yella, The Chronic and Doggystyle was co-produced with Daz, Keep Their Heads Ringin and Natural Born Killaz was done with Sneed & Clinton, and all his new **** (Aftermath) is a mix of Storch, Elizondo, and Mel-Man.

Sorry to burst your bubble but Dre is nothing but a fake and a phony. He doesn't even smoke weed yet he bases a whole album around it. Eazy E said he used to cry in the studio back in the day:owned:

I used to have mad respect for him but his rep has taken a definite tumble in my books.

Who does?? Very few in the industry today my friend...if you know music then you must know that..Dre write some raps just not all...Hell even Kanye West has a ghost writer..

Most MC's write their own rhymes. If "very few in the industry" did, why wouldnt the huge amount of Ghostwriters be an artist and say '****' whoever they're writing for? Most ghostwriters already have careers, and only ghostwrite for people like dre and diddy for money. If Kanye has a ghost writer, he needs a better one.

I always though Kanye was a good rapper and his production is great. So my pick is Kanye. The Rza is cool too. I love that Bobby Digital album.

Hahah come on though dre has 2 albums (aftermath comp and group lps dont count) and production on those albums has been shared with alot of producers that dont get credit and his raps ghost written by alot of rappers. He does change some stuff to the rhymes he has been given but yeah he doesnt write much at all. I do like his albums but yeah im just saying he takes too long to bring out albums that his only doing half the work on.
