Metro Boomin and Timbaland both apparently agree with Dr. Dre‘s take on the state of Hip Hop production.
In an Instagram post on Monday (October 21), Timbo shared an excerpt of a recent interview Dre and Snoop Dogg did with Stephen A. Smith. In the interview, Dre criticized rap albums that feature production from a large number of producers.
“Find your collaborator. I don’t like the fact that there are, like, nine different producers on one album. I like the idea of one producer on one album. Continuity is everything,” he said.
Asked by Smith where the trend came from, Dre replied: “I don’t know, but I don’t like it.”
He added: “If you a producer, you should be able to produce the entire album. That’s what I thought it was supposed to be. That’s what I was doing at the beginning.”
Timbaland added a caption to the video expressing agreement with Dre’s sentiments.
“Preach!!!!” he wrote.
Metro Boomin agreed, writing “All facts!” in a comment.

Other notable artists, DJs and producers weighed in as well. Scram Jones attempted to provide some clarification.
“People getting confused,” he wrote. “[You] can get outside beatmakers and still be the main producer of the album if u orchestrate what to do w those beats and control what vocals and formats are placed on those beats, and are in charge of sequencing and mixing the entire project.”
Legendary producer Buckwild appeared to disagree, mentioning a few high profile albums Dre worked on that had a variety of beatmakers.
Elsewhere in that same Stephen A. Smith interview, Dre admitted that he never listens to any of his classic material.
“I don’t look back,” he told the sports broadcaster. “I never listen to my old music or anything like that.”
To show that he wasn’t exaggerating, Dre continued: “I’ve never listened to my old music. I never let anybody play it around me. I feel like that’s masturbation at the highest level.
“I’m always thinking forward. I don’t live my life with a rear-view mirror. I don’t give a fuck about what I did or what’s in the past.”
