When it comes to his arrangements, his music is on a level to where it can't even be appreciated by most Rap heads. He's one of the only Rap producers that could make a Jazz-Funk type of album that would be good enough to get true Jazz head's attention.

Listening to a lot of the songs he produced for himself and others, I feel like the music clashes with the lyrics a LOT at times...the beats were much smoother and softer than anything from Tribe, De La, or any of the artists who had a more upbeat and almost positive vibe...while the lyrics were as harsh as everything else in the Gangsta Era. He'll really have himself or a keyboardist fuckin up chords on a track with somebody rappin "I'll ship yo fuckin body home you trick ass bitch" on top of it...and that alienated him from both sides. He might even be a victim of being from Compton and L.A. in general...it's only natural that him and his folks rapped the way that they did, but it just doesn't match the music itself.

Many of his best productions musically were random album cuts for cats like 2nd II None, Suga Free, Hi-C, and Mausberg.
