Good point about mc hammer
I will say this;
dre can't chop like preemo (not too many people can), however, preemo can't produce elaborate live hip hop music the way dre does.

I'll even go this far; Premiere is top notch at making beats. However, in my opinion, Dr. Dre is better at producing. There IS a difference between making beats and producing. I think Dre oversees a project a little better than preemo. He gets more involved with the hook, the feel of an album and things like that: the intangibles. That's what producing is; creating the track, the feel, input on hooks, vocal delivery - a whole lot. He has done authentic RnB tracks. THAT IS THE MARK OF A TRUE PRODUCER. He trancends genres and will give you a feel. Listen to NIggaz for Life album, The Chronic, Doggystyle. Listen to it as a whole. That is what Dre is better at to me least. Preemo is more consistant than dre, as far as beats, but dre is more consistant with producing albums (the album as a whole)
We can debate about this forever, but the bottom line is both men are good at what they do and you have to admit Dre is good at what he does as I've conceded and admitted that preemo is good at what he does.

REMEMBER, HIP HOP IS DIVERSE - JUST BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SOUND GRITTY AND GULLY DOESNT MEAN ITS NOT REAL HIP HOP. HIP HOP IS WAY MORE DIVERSE THAN THAT AND I THINK ITS MORE FUN IF YOU HAVE PRODUCERS THAT COME FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES. IF PREEMO IS REAL HIP HOP (WHICH HE IS) AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE GULLY SOUND LIKE HIM (WHICH I KINDA GOT FROM YOU WHAT YOU'RE SAYING) DON'T YOU THINK HIP HOP WOULD BE BORING IF EVERYBODY SOUNDED THE SAME - LIKE PREEMO. JUST LIKE IF EVERYBODY SOUNDED LIKE DRE - THAT WOULD BE BORING AS HELL.

If you like preemo and not dre, don't listen to dre. my point is you only have that option because both men are different

thats what hip hop music is supposed to be about - being different

PEACE:clap:
