Please god tell me this isn't the real production list......

[OutlawƎ]

Lets face it, dre is retired.

He can produce at least 2 tracks on the album .

[Slow The Flow]

When the album was announced a commercial said that the entire album was exec produced by Dre.

[Shady-Yo]

It means nothing. Skylar's album was ex. produced by Em.

[Ares]

By Dre and Rubin.

[4Corners]

When the album was announced a commercial said that the entire album was exec produced by Dre.

So was Recovery and he only had two tracks released from Recovery, So Bad and Ridaz.

You can executive produce an album without having a beat on it.

13. "So Far..." Mike Will Made It

That just means he's overseeing and supervising all the production.

Why is it such a big deal to know who produces the songs, whatever happened with the lyrics.

Because Production is a HUGE deal. Imagine if Eminem wrote Stan over Soulja Boy's "Crank Dat".

I'm imagining that right now

If you know who produced one song, you can manage to antecipate the vibe to it by looking at that producers overall piece of work

And how the fuck are we going to get the lyrics before the leak?
Jay-Z did it but that's not a common thing to do at all

This, especially the bolded. A producer has a certain signature to their sound, like a fingerprint. That's why most of the time, no two producers will sound EXACTLY alike, unless you're mimicking a style but even then you're going off a skeleton of someone else's idea at the time. And because a producer has a certain signature, it's important to know who they are when you're getting ready to buy an album. You can do guesswork, but there's been times where the producer really put work in and surprises the listener, so just getting the Producer's name is never a giveaway of what that specific song will sound like.

Being a "producer" doesn't mean you are making the beats...

Most people use that term but it is largely inaccurate.

Dudes like Kanye, Dre, Mike Will, Eminem, DJ Premier, Timbaland, and so on and so on. They all have a team of guys creating different sounds until one of the "producers" I mentioned above like what they hear. That team of people are the beat makers. Guys like Lex Luger, DJ Jerm (Wiz Khalifa's "producer") are all beat makers. Gathering the samples, placing the drums. The Alchemist is a beat maker as well.

I'm sure at some point Eminem was making his own beats as well with Dre helping him PRODUCE the sounds he wanted to make. Overseeing what Em was doing and adding his own taste.

Dre and Rick Rubin executive producing the album means that they are adding their own sounds to the beats being handed to Em. They are seeing what they could add because they believe it would help benefit the sound of album. That's what Eminem did for Skylar's album. They didn't necessarily make the beats, but the sounds you hear were largely influenced by their choices.
