Snoop and Jay Z take whatever Dre concocts. At least with D'angelo being a musician he knows how to embellish, take away, or just plain leave alone, if he ain't feeling a certain track.

And yes, Jay's Lost Ones & Snoop's Imagine almost are the same groove.

I still perfer Dre's polish over having D'angelo and the Soulquarians butcher his sound & mix 15's drums way up front. The Dilla sound is very amatuerish.

I would love to hear D'angelo over some lush cinematic productions.
