All Heads recognize: Mel-Man question?

I know some of you non-conformist heads won't find this question interesting enough to answer but do you think Dr. Dre can live up to clic status, the same as the chronic, and 2001 without Mel-Man? Dre said himself 2001 was produced between him and mel-man 50-50. I'd like to hear a Mel-Man solo LP with just him producing all the tracks. The thing about Mel-Man is he's a real underground head from Phili and he seems like he wouldn't work with bull ish artists if he got the chance at a solo LP unlike Dre who’ll work with anyone if the money’s there. What do you think?
