Dre is dope... his beats just stomp all over any other mainstream producers right now in rap and R&B. Id give him a shitload more props though if he started making more difficult beats. Cuz rap and R&B beats are just hella ez to make, 4,8,16 bars whatever... and u can just loop the shit... but if he jumped into making beats for movies or video games and those beats just blow up like his beats did in the rap game... then id have to say without a doubt, dre's beats are worth a quarter mil.
fuck it, the mans doing his thing right now and hes gettin paid bank to do it. Everyone that is produced by dre blows the fuck up. I think without dre the west coast would still find a way to get ontop by doing shit themselves. Having dre in the game right now just makes it ez for upcomming west coast artists to get paid and put their skillz on the table. With or without him, im still going to do my thing and you are still going to do yours....
