worst Cool & Dre production of 2007-2008

I can't think of any high profile producer that's ever fallen off so hard, these dudes made hella jams in '05-'06 and then suddenly they started making my least favorite track on every other CD the last couple years.

Although I nearly made a crack about how bad a GCH/Weezy collab would be in the other thread, but look at that they've already done one.

"Brown Paper Bag" is awesome!

Someone Still Loves You Evan and Jaron (Tape Store), Monday, 29 December 2008 20:32 (seventeen years ago)

nothing with Dre singing the hook is awesome

woah-oh, we gettin' gay dad money (some dude), Monday, 29 December 2008 20:37 (seventeen years ago)

ok Rick Ross's "Blow" was kind of awesome but "Brown Paper Bag" is still terrible

aight cool

The People's Republic of Padgettstan (some dude), Monday, 29 December 2008 21:29 (seventeen years ago)

i haven't heard lots of these but "phone home" is so repulsively ugly and awful sounding that it's actually almost (almost) a feat to be applauded

jordan s (J0rdan S.), Monday, 29 December 2008 22:06 (seventeen years ago)

btw dre has the most annoying singing voice of anyone ever - if anyone ever wants me to commit suicide just make sure that dre + trey songz form a supergroup with all songs produced by cool + dre

jordan s (J0rdan S.), Monday, 29 December 2008 22:07 (seventeen years ago)

also "camera phone" is truly shit - game needs to stop making songs about fucking and ne-yo certainly needs to not encourage him

jordan s (J0rdan S.), Monday, 29 December 2008 22:10 (seventeen years ago)

it's funny that in ne-yo's year of the gentleman he jumped on songs about fucking by game and plies o_O

jordan s (J0rdan S.), Monday, 29 December 2008 22:10 (seventeen years ago)

Busta/LP is close, but has to be "Phone Home"

I'll rep for "Brown Paper Bag" any day of the week btw

Duffy - "Mercy (Remix)" (feat. The Game)

jesus this must be the bullshit that lil' j keeps trying to play in hip-hop class!!! ughhh

and it's not even the worst :/

lex pretend, Wednesday, 31 December 2008 02:10 (seventeen years ago)

appreciating not hating: i really like lil mama's 'swim' and the game's 'my life'

lex pretend, Wednesday, 31 December 2008 02:11 (seventeen years ago)

i voted thos one cause it seems like itd be the worst Gym Class Heroes - "Peace Sign/Index Down" (feat. Busta Rhymes)

❤¯\㋡/¯❤ (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 02:13 (seventeen years ago)

actually i relistened to that yesterday and i kinda like the piano riff

The People's Republic of Padgettstan (some dude), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 02:22 (seventeen years ago)

anyway i voted for the Freeway because that's the best album these dudes have totally fucked up the flow of

Birdman - "100 Million" (feat. DJ Khaled, Rick Ross, Dre, Young Jeezy & Lil Wayne)

^^ all pretty valid nominees for worst beats ever sold by a 'name' producer

no this song is the besss

A! (surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 02:38 (seventeen years ago)

but i do hate how these beats don't really swing at all, the drums are just kinda like accents for the rest of the production. there's no funk or groove to it at all, it's so stuttery and showy. this goes for the runners too

A! (surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 02:40 (seventeen years ago)

like the "Go Hard" beat, for intance. wtf am i supposed to do with this song?

A! (surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 02:41 (seventeen years ago)

Ace Hood's "Cash Flow" is the worst example of this

The Reverend, Wednesday, 31 December 2008 02:42 (seventeen years ago)

it's like they're trying get fist-pumping to replace head bobbing

A! (surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 02:43 (seventeen years ago)

"Cash Flow" i like because it kinda takes the Runners drum fills steez to a logical extreme, and puts the 1 in a weird disorienting place, but yeah most of their other stuff in that style isn't as interesting.

listening to "100 Million"...good Jeezy verse but nah this song is pretty terrible. Dre was the worst hook singer in rap before autotune took over.

The People's Republic of Padgettstan (some dude), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 02:47 (seventeen years ago)

at least on Cash Flow the beat comes in during the chorus but yeah they still don't really get it.

as for 100 million: birdman's verse

A! (surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 02:54 (seventeen years ago)

i always thought that the point of the runners/cool & dre style was for the synths to tower over everything like skyscrapers - drums are of course insignificant in this regard

jordan s (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 05:26 (seventeen years ago)

ehh - both of them have trebly synth-driven tracks, but the Runners also have all those screwed hooks early on and C&D did a lot of crisp sampled shit. but it's not like they're using screaming Lil Jon keyboards and simple preset drums, they both use a fair amount of busy snares and weird awkward fills. it's pretty hit and miss as an aesthetic, but i think C&D are pretty bad at it compared to the kind of shit they were doing 2+ years ago

the pineapple foxpress (some dude), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 05:30 (seventeen years ago)

yeah i mean i think it's obvious that the runners are the more dexterious - shit like wayne's "money on my mind" and trick's "bet that" come to mind - and obv the ones of the khaled crew who are way better at the booming synth driven aesthetic

jordan s (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 05:37 (seventeen years ago)

lol @ "Chingy - "Roll On 'Em" (feat. Chingy)"

aaron d.g., Wednesday, 31 December 2008 05:46 (seventeen years ago)

lol sorry that was supposed to be feat. Rick Ross

the pineapple foxpress (some dude), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 05:50 (seventeen years ago)

a goon boy (J0rdan S.), Monday, 2 November 2009 05:47 (sixteen years ago)

it's kind of got that churning, mechanistic quality that "let me transform ya" has but it's less abrasive and annoying

a goon boy (J0rdan S.), Monday, 2 November 2009 05:47 (sixteen years ago)

i just spent like 10 mins trying to find a youtube or sound clip of kip dynamite going "it's pretty cool i guess"

heart goin ham (deej), Monday, 2 November 2009 08:24 (sixteen years ago)

i hope the attempt to zing the single from the fourth game album was worth it
