Dr. Dre: The Producers

Even with classic solo albums as an MC to his credit, Dr. Dre's greatest legacy is the number of superstars that the West Coast legend produced and mentored. He masterminded the bombastic, confrontational sound behind N.W.A. and Eazy-E, perfected his laidback G-funk sound for Snoop Dogg and Death Row Records and built his Aftermath empire with slick, sophisticated beats for Eminem and 50 Cent.
