    Good engineer, weak producer. See: The Chosen Ones, Bushwackas, etc.

    didn't he produce some of Nice and Smooth's first LP? or did he just engineer it?

    He just engineered it. Greg Nice and Smooth B produced it.

    I think he also engineered a lot of BDP and EPMD records.

    Well, a little from column A, a little from column B. As Doc said in the infamous Paul C article:


    ???I co-produced EASILY 80 percent of everything I touched in my career (read: anyone from EPMD to Three the Hard Way), but it won't be read that way,??? explains Doc, good-naturedly. ???The artists know.??? Doc would add subtle nuances, like a tom or a 16th note, loosening the track and giving it a swing crucial for the clubs. ???These were techniques that were absolutely more than just engineering.???

    That said, I agree that his solo productions were not so good. That Chosen Ones album, for example, is booty.
