worst Cool & Dre production of 2007-2008

Busta Rhymes - "We Made It" (feat. Linkin Park)

^^^not even a thread, it's this

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.

Birdman - "100 Million" (feat. DJ Khaled, Rick Ross, Dre, Young Jeezy & Lil Wayne)
Busta Rhymes - "We Made It" (feat. Linkin Park)
DJ Khaled - "Brown Paper Bag" (feat. Dre, Young Jeezy, Juelz Santana, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne & Fat Joe)
Duffy - "Mercy (Remix)" (feat. The Game)
Freeway - "Lights Get Low" (feat. Rick Ross & Dre)
The Game - "My Life" (feat. Lil Wayne)
The Game - "Big Dreams"
The Game - "Camera Phone" (feat. Ne-Yo)
Gym Class Heroes - "Peace Sign/Index Down"
Lil Wayne - "Phone Home"
Scarface - "Forget About Me"

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

"Brown Paper Bag" is awesome!

nothing with Dre singing the hook is awesome

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

aight cool

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

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

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

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

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

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

here's your Runners classic:

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

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 :/

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

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

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

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

back to the real topic

milian!! <3

i would do a milian singles poll but it would get maybe 1 vote

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

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

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

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

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

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

"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.

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

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

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

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

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

lol sorry that was supposed to be feat. Rick Ross

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

reminds me of the brass knuckles typos

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

this is the best cool & dre production since.... i don't even remember when

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

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

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