Timbo and Pharrell were like the polar opposites to Dre. Too much output vs. too little. There's a middle ground there.
Agree with pretty much everything else you said. Preem had some "lulls" but nothing to the point where I was like "dude's wack now".
Even Pete had "meh" moments.
I think Dilla was and is a technical wizard but maybe wasn't as potent in terms of impact as Preemo, which is the only negative thing I can really possibly say about him. Preem made grimey NYC shit that impacted EVERYONE in hip-hop, from the underground to the mainstream. And like you said, never really fell off.
He's gotta be the standard bearer IMO.
