I agree, but what does that have to do with the beats?

You said the problem with those beats was the lyrics and skits. I guess you meant “songs” or “albums” instead of “beats”, in which case I mostly agree.

But in terms of the beats, I think 91/92 Dre was the peak. He’s had other great eras too, but nothing touches the last NWA album and the Chronic, beats wise. IMO.
