now, thats not just the "beat". its everything that went into putting them songs together. all the layers. thats production. on a classic.
Layers has nothing to do with production in your definition. Production includes mixing/mastering, recording, etc. Putting together some loops, using a drum kit, etc is just simply beat making. Thats what Lynch did. And it sounded dope, dont get me wrong. But the mixing on there wasnt great, i can tell you that.
And maybe Lynch did do all that...i dont know. I think the mixing and mastering were handled by someone else.
