Is this for real? Illmatic assembled some of the greatest producers hip hop has ever seen. Large Professor, DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Q-Tip, L.E.S? Damn... It's this sort of production that Nas has lacked on his last few albums!
As for Dre, his work has been great on his Chronic albums, and even on niche projects such as Truth Hurts and his work with Eve, but his body of work just doesn't compare to DJ Premier, or even Rza as someone already mentioned. But you can't take away from Dre that he was a large part of why west coast hip hop dominated the early 90s until Rza helped change that with the Wu Tang Clan phenomenon.
I find the Dr Dre headphones overrated personally, a friend has some and I find my Sennheisers much more comfortable and similarly strong regarding sound quality. And they are only £50, rather than £180.
