Definately.He doesnt write his lyrics nor does he do his meoldies - just constructs the drum patternsBut, 2001 was still a masterpiece (or almost)
Dre does compose his melodies.He uses orchestra's / other producers occasionally, he will put them in the studio and say PLAY THIS, and have about 6 different people on different machines, thenhe will stop it, and isolate/adds different sounds to get the effect he wants.That is producing.Nah, i swear he doesnt compose them - He had Scott Storch do the majority of 2001 (you may be right bout him telling them what to play though, i may just of heard wrong) but yeah, i swear he gets the other people to actually compose them
