i meant for his singles its the same drum patters, but tweaked sounds. lil john is ok, but not the most musical. honestly, anyone can be lil john~ he just got lucky cuz he looks like a muppet :D

lol....maybe true

but like i said, all the top name producers hire really, really good musicians. kanyes tracks lack artistic ability? they are probably the most creative things to come out of hip hop in years! the snoop song? that pretty much pure hip hop right there.

you have to remember, hip hop as a musical style was never very intricate. its the simplicity and the cornucopia of different sources mixed into one song that makes it "hip hop". true, hip hop is not orchestral or chamber music, but neither is punk rock. punk rock is the same 2 or 3 chords in almost every song ever made.
punk rock is less musical than hip hop if you put in your terms. bts its still a musical style that works well, especially to its fan base.

hip hop was born by discecting and mashing together music from different genres. when that stops, hip hop is officially dead. thats the wonerful thing about hip hop. it can practically be anything you want it to be. its clay in your hands, and the world wants to see your collage.

are art peices from MoMA less creative because they are made from non traditional mediums such as soda cans, or aluminum from a car door. NO! in actuallity they are more creative!

IMO you are far more creative if you can take something from 5 different songs, warp the sounds, mix in your own spice...and BAM have something that makes people bob thier heads!

for ex: many pop composers have workstations. most workstations have the same sounds, and presets (which what they mostly use). whats so creative about that. wow, so you can play a few notes in sequence. so can millions of others!

people like kanye CREATE their own sound libraries. and then play those sounds in a sequence. thats freakin creative!

in conclusion: if you can take some wood planks and make me a table (pop composers), thats nice. but if you can take those wooden planks and make me an airplane (kanye west), then im impressed!

(sorry for the rant :D)

You had some good points there =) I embrace all forms of Hip Hop, sampling, original, Chord/Scale based, acoustic/digital/analog instruments. Regarding Kanye, no one mentioned that he was influenced, sampled and based most of his album on the music of DAFT PUNK, but he was creative with it and the bottom line is that it sounded very fresh and new to the Hip Hop community, not to me because I am extremely familiar with Daft Punks 3 albums.
 
Some of ya'll sound like ya'll have personally been screwed over by Dre on a project...I've seen plenty of tracks that have been co-produced and even produced by people other than Dre on his albums....mainly Mel-Man. Scott Storch plays the keys and get's song writing credits from Dre usually....he might produced for Paris Hilton and other pop acts but I don't see him producing a "Dre" track....and if he did...I don't see him NOT getting credit for it. I've seen him get credit for co-production....ya'll on some other sh!t.

BTW....Lil Jon is no where in the same league as Storch musically....are you serious?
