I think average is putting it nicely tbh.
He's even admitted people write his lyrics for him. Hip-Hop is about the narrative and he's not even writing his own stories, the things he says don't come from him, for me that's such a flaw if you're in Hip-Hop, how can you be anything better than average as a rapper if you're not writing your own lyrics? You can tell who wrote them just by listening sometimes as well.
Fair enough he picks and chooses what he will use but it's not the same.
I've also heard he uses ghost producers as well, which disappointed me but I dunno how true it is.
p.s. does anyone have anything where Dre actually wrote the lyrics and rapped them?
