I had heard of Mike Elizondo, but never this guy. Hired musician is probably a better title.

Colin Wolfe ALWAYS got credited for his contributions to Dre's productions. ALWAYS. He was never a "ghost" anything. If people would just read credits. Damn. smh

Kids nowadays have no idea what credits are. Unless it's in the song title or producer tag it doesn't exist to them smh.
How can they if there's no physical cd's anymore? Just an mp3 on iTunes.
Physical CDs do exist. And there are things called the Internet and Research. Yes, I know that requires Effort, but most people don't even care or are lazy.
"Kanye makes all of his own rhymes and beats!!!!"
Outside of being involved in the industry why would someone look it up? As a kid I never checked the booklet for the details. I didn't do that until I was older and started making music myself.
Then again, I would memorize the credits of every single record/tape/CD that I bought back in the late 80's, early 90's, and on and on and on.
Same here and I always have to SMH when I talk to people who don't, but they want to argue who did what. Creators respect other Creators.
I love how some can turn a interesting thread about Dre into what they know and other's don't.
Everyone's different.
I began playing piano when I was 8 years old and was always interested in WHO really made the music besides the singers/rappers. I was always interested in the producers, writers, musicians.
I even watch movie credits to see who the Producers are, Script Writers, Casting Agents, Music Supervisor, Photographers...that's just me and also who many of my friends are. My girlfriend even loves to point out to me when a movie is being casted by Mary Vernieu because chances are it's going to be a good movie regardless of how the trailer looks.
Some of the best conversations I have with strangers start off with us being impressed with each other's knowledge of Creators. There are a ton of us out here including my 14 year old nephew who can tell you crazy liner note details.

Oddity of the bunch. I never cared until I got involved with music and started to want to learn what goes on behind the scenes and in the studios. But to the average fan it's not important who Chris Lord Alge is or who the blues brothers were. You fall into the category with most of us on here. we care about the who and the how the music was made. Most fans care only about the final product. Nothing wrong with either
I don't SMH at them. Most teenage boys were nerdy about sports stats. I was nerdy about music stats. Who was on what label, who was producing what label, who was the Producer and the A&R on what records/albums...I was even into what PUBLISHING companies were listed in the credits.
I remember when DJ Quik's album dropped, and I was like "what is this PROFILE logo, and why is it on all of my favorite albums?" That's how I started learning about labels and distribution, etc.
Stevie Wonder's albums in the 80's first piqued my interest in PUBLISHING. Every Stevie Wonder song/record would have JOBETE PUBLISHING on it.
That was my first lesson in Music Publishing. #MindBlown
But I say all that to say, not everybody is passionate about the nerdy side of the business. Doesn't take anything away from their creative passions.
