dre has always been upfront about the fact that he's primarily a producer. i like his raps as well but most of the good ones were written by his more talented friends tbh. same goes for eazy e... his voice and persona brought life to the lyrics he spit, but he wasn't really a writer at the end of the day.

For me however, rap is about the overall package and Dre & Eazy were masters at sampling a funky beat and building on it, so while Ice Cube may be a great rapper, when I listen to say Death Certificate, I'm not hearing the quality grooves that I get from the latter two artists |

Predator is good, its production quality is better than Death Certificate, and Wicked is one of my favourite Ice Cube songs, but overall I'm still not feeling it compared to The Chronic, or Eazy's general catalogue, I still think they got the better grooves going.

Listening to The Predator on the recommendation of Jans. It's better than his earlier stuff. Can't get into it apart from one or two tracks.
A shame he didn't make an album with Dre ala Doggystyle in the early 90's. |
