Say what you want about Dre's "stable" of underlings or whatever you want to call it, but the level of work Dre put into his (and/or his team's) beats/albums/art and the level of work that Puff put into any actual *music* (taking nothing away from his business acumen) is an apples and baseball fields comparison. They're not even on the same planet career-wise or beatwise, even if during a brief period in the 90s they both occupied the same radio space for a couple of songs or whatever.

It's intellectually dishonest to suggest otherwise.
