Nah.. they are.

I prolly shoulda just left that part out seeing as that has nothing to do with Blu.

Personally, I just wouldn't classify or call Dre or Quik "beatsmiths".

I reserve that title for the folks who are known to mainly bang shit out on the machines.. sampling, chopping, looping, and programming. I know Dre and Quik do that, too.. but they are known for so much more.

The other guys are real producers to me.. but most of em are mainly known as beatmakers.. like "here's a beat cd, take your pic".

Anyhow, like I said.. I shoulda left that part out. It was a passing thought that I typed out right after I got high and logged in.
