tried listening to The Chronic again recently and wasn't really feeling it, which i don't chalk up to the album but more my own shifting tastes.

Beat's obv great too, but quite uncharacteristic for Dre? Anyone have an idea how much Storch did on it?
Storch / Dre collabs were often Storch writing, recording and producing a song, then Dre consulting & polishing. Dre did have a mini-period of arch, spindly beats like that around that time, though. His arrangements have never been maximalist, but at the time I took that refinement to be a reaction to Timbaland's breakthrough.

You're a multi platinum producer, you know everything about getting the sound just right, and yet... this is how you hold a microphone:
