let's put it this way......maybe dre used the same sample.....who made it big and who is sitting around saying " damn Dre took the same sample and made big thangs out of it?" To me Dre is the best there ever will be(until ya boy gets millions worth of studio equipment and other top notch producers), dre is top notch producer. Think about it,......who brought snoop in this game?? how many did he sell?, who brought eminem in this game, how many did he sell?, who produced the first nationally acclaimed gangsta rap in the world......DRE did.......okay...now you know...put those pieces together and find the best producer ever..
