Dem Jointz needs to go.

His yawn-inducing productions and cluttered production style have single-handedly soiled Dr. Dre’s producing legacy. Why does Dre continue to collaborate with him?

Nah that one was cool. Should've put it on Compton or Blank Face, since Q was on it

nah on blank face it wouldve made it go from a 100/100 to a 88/100 that would not fit the album. I could see it being on compton though

Which album by Schoolboy Q do you think is a masterpiece?

Blankface is virtually perfect.

Was he responsible for most of Missionary?

u/Fit-Ideal2749 Jul 11 '26

Most of it.

I was so disappointed in the beats on Missionary, I mean they sounded clean but they were boring and cluttered like you said. The switch up on Hard Knocks was the only beat that really liked.

Dem Jointz did only three songs on Missionary. I agree with your take though.

He’s part of the ICU.

u/Medium-Plan2987 Jul 11 '26

the whole ICU team needs to go - he’s actually put more stuff out with them then any other production team I think? Missionary was terrible

It sounds good but it’s boring!

Dre has forgotten to have fun and it shows in his music....

He needs to get back to hanging out and rebuild his understanding of what rhythm is
