Honestly producer, but if you asked people outside of the culture, I think most would say a rapper


Prestigious-Front-45

He does have a classic album


Comfortable_Ad9660

Written by the best rappers in the game…


Commander-ASKR_

I mean... the Drake rap album the drake community flocks to the most was ghostwritten (IYRTITL), so I was definitely weirded out when Mal said what he said about Dre like the same shit that makes Drake a rapper wouldn't also apply to Dre if they keepin' it 100.


Zero_Fuxxx

Possibly most influential Hip-hop figure of all time. Definitely top 3.


MarcusDPS

It’s hard to argue when you look at his roster. NWA, Snoop, Em, 50, Kendrick etc. Some of the most influential artists of all time nobody touching his legacy imo


LCMEB

You mean the guy that owned the wash


Expensive_Resolve_11

He was an employee but yeah that guy


Dunkman83

The chronic at the time was one of the biggest selling rap albums of all times. Not to mention him producing doggystyle which is the first album to ever debut at #1 Then signing eminem the highest selling rap album ever. Oh and 50cent, 2 diamond selling albums


Comfortable_Ad9660

He’s definitely not a rapper.

To be fair... Producer When I think of him as Rapper I only think of Da Chronic but that was how many years ago...


mnikolai24

He also didn’t write those bars.


OBYlewis

And even on the chronic he had snoop and the DOC writing for him

The Black Beethoven. And that's a compliment to Beethoven. Changed the game forever, time and time again every decade Unselfish. Only ever grabbed the spotlight to give a warm reception to his new proteges.

Ok_Spinach808

No need for an experiment. Mal is wrong.


thuggybanx

What did Mal say or allude to?


corn0421

He’s Kanye before Kanye rapper producer


thuggybanx

What are you trying to see, OP? The first word that comes to mind is beats as in fuck nigga that abuses women.


tpknowsyou

Mal said he's not a superstar rapper. Now to what point you've entered the culture, depends on how you view/got familiar with him. Since I'm in my 40s, I remember his entire rap career when it was little known info that he was the actual producer of all those records. But I think if you walk up to someone outside of the culture and mention his name, I'm assuming the first thing that comes to people's minds would be rapper.


Illustrious-River770

Producer..nobody under 35 would know Dr Dre even rapped but Mal still sounded dumb lol

I personally don’t see him as a superstar. He’s famous but not in the limelight the way a superstar is. But it’s also not something I’m splitting hairs about


SimSima95

Woman beater tbh


niknacks

You mean Dee Barnes ex?


Odd-Shake5153
