@ChopShop1200 2pac had strong intensity and passion and great flow. His lyrics may have been repetitive at times but it reflected what he was. How can you fault him for that? Jay-z, Yeah I sort of agree that he is overrated.. hes as much about marketing as he is about music.. Maybe more. Nas? Really? I dont even rate him let alone over rate him.
2pac's " intensity" was that of a sucker trying to sound hard. If he didn't try to bend his voice that much it would' ve sounded much better. He never did that when he was touring with Digital Underground.
@Freshhhhh1982 I completely agree with you but the problem most rappers are facing is that most guys like me and you who love real music,arent paying for it.mean while the chicks,kids and gays who just go with what the music biz says is hot are still buying music few rappers stick with the real{jacka ,devin,AZ} and most want ta get rich{bitch ass drake,mark ass wayne,that pink headed bitch} like dre said it tha MUSIC BIZ not the MUSIC ART FORM
@Freshhhhh1982 i guess i might also add, that hip hop today is dying because it partially isnt about lyrics anymore, a lot of the shit nowadays is a gay little dancesong where they say the same 4 words throughout the whole song. that isnt hip hop. hip hop is about lyrics, creativity, the flow, and the statement behind the song.
@Freshhhhh1982 Wrong. No all people do it for music. If you are an honest and real person, you would know the two richest people in hip hop Diddy and Jay-Z make wack as fuck music and have been for a long time. Eminem is a recent example as well. Recovery was wack as fuck but he is doing the biggest numbers ever.
dr dre isnt my favourite rapper, but i do like him. but when i read the little booklet in eminems recovery album i got upset tht dre only produce 1 song on tht album
@silverback1tv Maybe that's because Tupac was a loudmouth...all due respect,but Dre is a thinker,and maybe that's why tupac is where he is and Dre is where he is...you know :)
I think this guy is one of the most intelligent dudes in the entire music business, whenever Bill O'Reilly or whoever starts flipping out over rap music they should just get Dre on and let him explain what's going on, talk some sense into them.
you can ask 90 percent hiphop artists what they will be doin if they aint making music and i can gurantee you it won't be posistive hahahahahhaahahahah
Just a footnote for RCNap2atl, Ice Cube didn't have any success with Dre to any degree his early solo work was with the Bomb squad from New York, Ice cube went platinum without any input from Dre, most of Eminem early work was with Mark 45 King and others, no one can dispute Dre's position in Hip Hop but if we are talking about FACTS then we need to keep things 100. bless up
@swabes1 Ice Cube got his early notoriety from being the main rapper on NWA's Straight Outta Compton, 1 of the most successful & critically acclaimed gangsta rap albums of all time. Songs like Fuck the Police, Gangsta, gangsta & Straight Outta Compton gave him national attention & made his 1st solo highly anticipated. Eminem was unknown nationally until his Slim Shady song produced by Dre. Themz FACTS, homie ~1000~
RCNap, thanks for the response, i should just say that HINDSIGHT regarding who would have made it without Dre, is a luxury I don't employ, production wise don't gauge it by units sold, use your ears, also Dre comes from the streets but as usual you have respondents on this site who comment on his knowledge and articulate comments you can't be a fool and achieve what he has, Everyone cut the racist shit OK this is music !
@swabes1 Feelin u on the 'Dre is so articulate' comments. As 4 the rest hindsight is indeed 20/20, but it's undeniable that Dre helped launch the careers of everybody I mentioned & especially in the case of Snoop, put out the best quality music. Doggystyle was/is Snoop's best album , Nuthin but a G thang & other songs off Dre's 1st chronic album put him on the map, and 'In the Club' was a major hit & still one of 50's all time best songs, with or without sales.
it is so strange to hear dre talk candidly about the music business. He is totally different than the image he propagates in his music and videos. Dude is smart as hell. He totally reminds me of Quincy.
FUCK eminem and 50 cent. dre disappointed many real hip hop listeners for bringing that gay corny bitch white boy in the business.. eminem and his bitch 50 cent started ruining and changing hip hop.. we would had been happy if they changed it to better, but instead they made it worse.
i know you people gonna show hate, but i dont give a fuck. i wrote the truth out.
i miss real hip hop back in the 80s and 90s. but FUCK them nowadays gay mainstream and radio shit..fuck lil wayne, soulja boy too
@SmiggerEFC ahhaha get the FUCK out white boy.. you lil tricks think you know everything bout hip hop n shit, but as i can see, you one of them fake hip hop listeners. so there isn't much to it. dont argue on the net, and you cant do shit over the NET fuckin geek corny ass white boy eminem lover.
punk ass muthafucka, go back to listening metal or some shit. atleast dats better than listening to fake hip hop.
@LightJoints wow because im white i cant listen to hip hop...u fucking retard would be interestin to see how succesfull hip hop would be if no white people bought the shit, and i bet your one of them lil wayne dickriders
@SmiggerEFC i didnt say you cant listen to hiphop. i just said i dont like when white people claims that others dont know shit about hip hop.. idiot kid, learn to read stupid hoe.. in my first post, i wrote something exactly like this line "but FUCK them nowadays gay mainstream and radio shit..fuck lil wayne, soulja boy too".
whites can listen to it, but dont fuck around wit others..
im not gonna argue much over the internet.. do whatever you want logn as you dont live in my block.. peace
@LightJoints you would be very surprised if u seen what type of hip hop i listen too i admit i do like 50 and eminem but my list goes beyond that such as pac, big, big L, pun, wu tang, dmx, uncle murda etc i see listening to those type of rappers like listening to their story not to look hard.
@LightJoints yo man i might be white but that don't mean i can't have a a brain for the hip hop game. dre has an eye for talent and saw it in eminem and was right. saw it in snoop and eazy and cube and if he wasn't here hip hop wouldn't still be around. so if you wanna be racist towards me and call me a cracka ass honkey nitch then go ahead but i bet i know more about hip hop then you.
Martin Luther King would have listened to the elements in Hip-Hop that would have appealed to him, just like I imagine people do naturally and to say that without Dre there wouldn't have been any of the other artists....well...somebody like the mighty Ice Cube..Eminem....these artists have been successful with other producers and certainly was not discovered by Dre, I think Dre is great but from a production perspective he's ok nothing more.
@swabes1 as much as I luv rap, I can honestly say MLK would have a HUGE problem with the violence & womanizing, & in general be very disappointed in what rap has become-as far as Dre's production, he was to the rap game what MJ was to basketball..his sound took the game to a whole new level-Ice Cube & Eminem were successful with other producers AFTER Dre, but without his help it's very debatable whether either would have gotten as big on their own..same goes 4 Snoop & 50 cent.
If Martin Luther King were alive to listen to Hip Hop Music, Hip Hop Music itself would be 'different'. The murder of MLK was that influential on the Black Community as a whole. Had MLK and Malcolm X lived into the 1990's or possibly even still alive today, A GREAT NUMBER of negative episodes would have never come to pass.
It's EASY to forget that Bobby Seale and Huey Newton started the Black Panthers BECAUSE OF MLK'S murder. The CRIPS were originally styled after the Panthers. Read 4 yourself
Dr. Dre is a really intelligent and open-minded guy. He knows what's going on, what makes good art, and he's pretty funny too. Oh, and has made some fantastic music.
It's kind of strange to watch in a way, he gives his answer, laughs about it then looks depressed straightaway, must've caught him on a bad day or he just doesn't like being interviewed or something. Still a musical genius though got so much respect for him, thanks for uploading this snoopfroggydogg
i gather that hes all about good artists getting the recognition they deserve its all about the artists and the music the business side is just some thing u have to get done to make it work for them which i have the upmost respect not some greedy talentless producer who just tries to resell old shit from his/her back catalog this is what its all about dr dre is the godfather and creator of rap and hip hop as it is today and he deserves to be called and recognized for Respect!!
Dre is a str8 up GENIOUS if he had never got into hip-hop itd be a completely different scene, without him thered be no snoop dogg, no Eazy E, no Ice Cube, no Eminem, no 50 Cent, and after the deaths of 2pac and Biggie the rap game would have died, DRE IS HIP-HOP so from everyday till hip-hop dies every day is Dre Day becaus hip-hop wouldn't be hip-hop without Dre
@12c44l that's a bullshit comment. U know when Big and Pac died within 6 months people thought that's the end of hip-hop. What happened? It fucken got bigger, it's mainstream. You have hip-hop albums topping charts, half of them in the top 10 of billboard singles.
If there was no 50 cent, Eminem or no Dre hip-hop would still be alive. No one is irreplaceable.
Dre didn't make Eazy E or Ice Cube for that matter. It's an insult to them to even think that.
@12c44l Dre Day! You absolutely right man, absolutely... =O nothing to add to this, lets just wish that dre will die really old, cause he's the only producer I really feel beat after beat, there is NO dre's beat that i'm like "nahhh", they are all good in they'r point, they all have some different details that makes them unique and awesome. Long Live to Dre.
@12c44l If it were'nt for Dre I would have never inspired to start producing shit myself. And since he has always been the standard to me. Alot of my works show it. If you can sound like Dre, you sound like the West Coast. And thats me fa sho West Coastin all day
dre learned the hard way, he had all the drama/bullshit, before fame & fortune....it can make/break you learning from mistakes, hes being through alot and is the main contributing factor to hip-hop period...
@12c44l Dre is not hiphop hiphop was around before dre even got in to it true he brought something to the table but he is not hiphop now as for him rapping stick with beat making don't rap
legends are always people who never had ambitions to become legends, they simply have this 'something' that nobody else have. And by the way, interviewer: get some sense of humour!!
lol he laughed at the martin luther question because he knows martin woulda been pissed to hear violent movment in rap. if he woulda sayd martin woulda been disapointed, then he woulda been veiwed as unapreciative of the freedom he has..
@messagekl as far as hip hop is concerned you wiil never see this type of talent again. very smart man like he says some artist than and now still dont know how much and when they will get paid but they will tell you how much maybach cost!!! or how many exotic cars they have
most rappers just portray what they are. stupid.. 2Pac was waaaay overrated. So is jayz and nas... they can;t rap why n* on their d* ?

i gather that hes all about good artists getting the recognition they deserve its all about the artists and the music the business side is just some thing u have to get done to make it work for them which i have the upmost respect not some greedy talentless producer who just tries to resell old shit from his/her back catalog this is what its all about dr dre is the godfather and creator of rap and hip hop as it is today and he deserves to be called and recognized for Respect!!

Dre is a str8 up GENIOUS if he had never got into hip-hop itd be a completely different scene, without him thered be no snoop dogg, no Eazy E, no Ice Cube, no Eminem, no 50 Cent, and after the deaths of 2pac and Biggie the rap game would have died, DRE IS HIP-HOP so from everyday till hip-hop dies every day is Dre Day becaus hip-hop wouldn't be hip-hop without Dre

@12c44l that's a bullshit comment. U know when Big and Pac died within 6 months people thought that's the end of hip-hop. What happened? It fucken got bigger, it's mainstream. You have hip-hop albums topping charts, half of them in the top 10 of billboard singles.
If there was no 50 cent, Eminem or no Dre hip-hop would still be alive. No one is irreplaceable.
Dre didn't make Eazy E or Ice Cube for that matter. It's an insult to them to even think that.
Do some research kid!

@12c44l Dre Day! You absolutely right man, absolutely... =O nothing to add to this, lets just wish that dre will die really old, cause he's the only producer I really feel beat after beat, there is NO dre's beat that i'm like "nahhh", they are all good in they'r point, they all have some different details that makes them unique and awesome. Long Live to Dre.

@12c44l If it were'nt for Dre I would have never inspired to start producing shit myself. And since he has always been the standard to me. Alot of my works show it. If you can sound like Dre, you sound like the West Coast. And thats me fa sho West Coastin all day

dre learned the hard way, he had all the drama/bullshit, before fame & fortune....it can make/break you learning from mistakes, hes being through alot and is the main contributing factor to hip-hop period...

real in depth series of interviews.gotta give dr.dre his respect on his whole perspective on the industry and whats really involved.
rcecil88 2 years ago 4
He's very good at seeing evry perspective.
Like he said, not just in the ghetto, rich people have their problems too.
He's smart enough to realize, no position is rosey and problems arise from every angle. Never naive.

lol he laughed at the martin luther question because he knows martin woulda been pissed to hear violent movment in rap. if he woulda sayd martin woulda been disapointed, then he woulda been veiwed as unapreciative of the freedom he has..

This is dated January 20, 1997, so before the Rap Olympics and the release of The Slim Shady EP which was late 1997.
