However fuck no should Dre produce it. Em should produce it himself. TES is easily his best produced album, he moulds his beats to fit his flows. Dre's beats ruin them.
I've heard him spit on enough Dre beats for a lifetime. He should definitely self-produce the next one as despite nobody crediting him as a top producer, everybody would seem to agree TES beats >> Recovery beats... Surely? And look who produced on Recovery. Some of the game's supposed old and new top producers and yet that's the results.
Not that I think the production is even that bad. But he definitely could of done better himself. I am however glad he finally ventured to working with other producers, for the sake of variety in his discography but I definitely think a self-produced one should be next up.
You're right about Em's production. I think Em has a natural talent for producing music as well. I remember reading an article somewhere on the internet about Dr. Dre giving Eminem tips on producing and he said he had the natural ear for it or something similar to that. So does Em lay down the lyrics before he starts on the production?
I think it's a mix.
I think he writes all the time in the process anyway, hooks, verses, metaphors / sayings just anything all over pages non-stop.
But then I think when he was producing a lot he was also just making beats casually all the time too. So I think it just depended like maybe he would happen to have a song ready to go and then would fit the flow to one of his beats... Or make a beat for it with the flow in his head. Or maybe he would have a beat ready to go and write to the beat.
He said he often just listens to what the beat is saying to him. Ie. on "3am" it sounded like a horror thing / haunted corridor so he started with that and then... Came the rest. But I'm not sure he always strictly works by that principle, I think, from what he's said - it's a mix.
