is is the high-pitch melody thingy that dre uses it in a lot of beats, such as nuttin but a g thang? if thats what you're referring to those sounds are on synthesizers, called "leads" theres usually a whole bunch of different ones, but you can use any sound for it, just play real high up

I think that is what he is talking about, a "Lead"

Analog synths.

Typically in rap you will hear Moogs such as a Minimoog or a Rogue. I know Dr. Dre has a Minimoog in his studio.

Nowadays you'd probably try to use a virtual analog synth. Those don't sound so hot outside of the middle range, so don't expect it to be 100%.

A good modern substitute is a Studio Electronics SE1x. Not exactly cheap and its a rackmount. If you had to get a VA synth the Alesis Ion offers a lot of sonic punch for not a lot of money.

If you want to get old school hip hop, get a Prophet 5. Rare, expensive, unreliable but sounds great... I have a mint Midi P5 rev 3.2 in my possession that's been my baby for 4 years now.
