So the producer does produce the song then. Thought so.
I like Dre as a beat man, I can listen to him as a rapper, but preferably only on a guest spot. I don't believe he has enough worthwhile things to say to make him interesting over the course of an entire album. He himself knows that, that's why his albums are collaboration heavy.
I am aware of 2001, haven't listened all the way through, because I'm aware that Eminem features predominantly and I can't stand him. It's the same era as when Eminem was at his most popular, so mainstream rap was probably not at its best in 2001, assuming that is when the record was released.
