Your Daily Dose of Dylan, Part 14
Danny [Lanois] asked me who I'd been listening to recently, and I told him Ice-T. He was surprised, but he shouldn't have been. A few years earlier, Kurtis Blow, a rapper from Brooklyn who had a hit out called "The Breaks," had asked me to be on one of his records and he famililarized me with stuff, Ice-T, Public Enemy, N.W.A., Run-D.M.C. These guys definitely weren't standing around bullshitting. They were beating drums, tearing it up, hurling horses over cliffs. They were all poets and knew what was going on. -- from Chronicles, Volume One

Does Dylan talk bad about anyone (music-related) in the book? I ask because I heard an interview where he was unapreciative of his producers, and I felt like he was talking about Lanois specifically. He may not have been, but that was the impression I got.
No he doesn't really. There might be a comment or two about what he didn't like about someone but I never took them as him being mean and they don't even sound like insults. He talks about "Oh Mercy" for a long time and there are times in his description of that process when he and Lanois do not see eye to eye, but overall he expresses gratitude towards the job Lanois did.
