  • 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* ?

  • @ChopShop1200 you sir are an absolute idiot.

  • @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.

  • @stevierayBlz

    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.

  • @ChopShop1200 I've never heard Digital Underground but I still like the way Tupac raps. Maybe I'd think differently if I had. Song suggestion?

  • @stevierayBlz The most notable song they had was "The Humpty Dance". I'm pretty sure you've heard of that one! :-)

  • dre is a wise man

  • @Freshhhhh1982 but most rappers in g funk, all they ever talked about was money, women and killing people. Apart from 2pac.

  • @Freshhhhh1982 music will never die. its art and people will never stop wanting to create new things or express themselves

  • 100% respect. dre is a good man.

  • I like how Dre takes his time to answer every question, he puts lots of thought in before he just runs his mouth. At 30 already a really wise guy

  • Haha that interviewer is a tool!

  • this interviewer is a fuckin fool

  • Wow, this guy just earned my respect.

  • great interview. clever man..

  • drop that detox dre

  • That's some profound shit, straight up

  • Since when did Denzel Washington make music? He even sounds like him!

  • Is it just me, or when Dre did this interview, did he sound a bit like Terrence Howard?

  • that Martin Luther King question was reallly good... i wonder what he would think

  • nice nice (the weed make talk dr dre)

  • really good documentary

  • ☺! Thumbs Up If You Wathed The Whole Thing !☺

  • @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

  • Mad respect for Dre, such a smart rapper/business man.

  • is homie faded? haha smoke weed errryday !

  • love how hes so real

  • hahahhaa love reading the comments hahahaha

  • 6:36 fucking nice point

  • am i the only one who thinks hes trying to be a lil like tupac in this interview?

  • @SerieOrtiz yes

  • @Dreinokiac ur just a dick ridah

  • @SerieOrtiz yup.

  • @SerieOrtiz

    epic fail

  • @Freshhhhh1982 Hip hop is dying because we dont live in the ghetto no mo!

  • @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

  • personally, i dig CHronic 2001 more than the first Chronic.  dig the beats more

  • Well done dre for this same thing happened to me.

  • some inspiring stuff right there...... time to make some music =)

  • This is the year I was born.

  • Old school dre!

  • THE CHRONIC ALBUM IS DA BEST ALBUM FROM DRE!

  • dr dre is a fuckin genius

  • tell the the c dolre to suck a dick ROFL! Eminem motherfucka duck what th efuck son of a bitch l mao

  • Dre Dre is a chill person i like him his music rulez :) peace pac is also grat but in his odwn league

  • yes dre i know!!!

  • you know

  • yo know

  • straight up

  • Dre is alright. But its true what tupac said he doesn't seem totally comfortable in his own skin. At times looking a bit insecure . Wonder why??

  • @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 :)

  • @silverback1tv

    can you linmk the video mate?

    really want to hear what pac sayed

  • Dre is a living legend. without him there would be no Hiphop!

  • dre's quality but the interviewers asking some fucking stupid questions

  • this is why Dre is the Dr. of hip-hop. this why we still have rap today end o story.

  • hahaha At the beginning of the video he looking at the guy like FUCK when is this going to end!!!!

  • he looks soo stonedd hahaha

  • dre is the truth though, best producer out there!

  • his reaction @ 1:50 had me dyiiiiiinnnnngg!

  • @serkan127 lmao i was laughin @ that same thing

  • Derick Rose

  • thast last quote really sounds like some dmx dave chappelle illumnati message kinda shit lol:P

  • 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.

    

  • IF you listen to the begining of this clip... Dre's thinkin "Fuck... a part 3 this shit"

  • 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

  • im glad when he asked him if he thought hip hop was a 2nd american revolution he was like "uh... no man..."

  • 2years later, MY name is came up and hip hop did a 360.

  • some of these questions were dumb as fuck

  • I got chills when he said the last sentences in the end...because it's so true.

  • 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.

  • His voice is so different on his songs. He kinda reminds me of mike tyson haha

  • dre's street smart and book smart. and he channels that intelligence into every one of his songs, and the end product ist just incredible music.

  • 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.

  • dr. is like mlk. if you don't understand then fuck you white boy.

  • Number of times the phrase "Straight Up" was said in this interview: 36. Straight up.

  • @LightJoints

    SHUT UR MOUTH IDIOT,

    I DONT HAVE TO BE BLACK TO LISTEN TO DRE

    OR ANY RAPPER

    YOU CANT QUESTION ANYONE JUST BECAUSE YOU LISTENED TO DEAR MAMA AND THOUGHT U UNDERSTOOD HIP HOP

    FUCKING ASSHOLE

    WHAT MAKES U MORE OF A HIP HOP FAN THAN A WHITE MAN ?

    TELL ME

  • @smithser991 relax man his just a troll :\

  • 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

  • @LightJoints your an idiot and dont know shit about hip hop. Snipe yourself.

  • @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.

  • @SmiggerEFC ah up to you man, do wat you wanna do. nobody can stop nobody

  • @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.

  • @Clearks aye me too im hispanic, and i honestly dont think its about what kind of ethnics can make hip hop or rap music only

  • @Clearks jus to get this straight dre didnt find eazy, even though dre is the best ever

  • thank god dr dre isnt still with evil suge knight

  • dre's comments are amazing. the interviewer is terrible.

  • 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.

  • Hes Really inspiring for young underground producers like me.

  • Dre's a fraud

  • Dre for president next to Obama.

  • Doesnt like the media much does he?

  • Realest person in the hip hop industry=DRE

  • 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

  • and I know what the fuck I am talking about because I read Bobby Seale's Autobiography.

  • @MTXSHO9732vV8SHO great point

  • hes clever. Straight up :D

  • @chiliiyy but he said "...you can 'ast'..." NOT ASK, at 1:30 lmao!

  • Dre. Dre didn't know how to respond to the American revolution question cause it was so stupid.

  • notice after the 'points' & mercedes reference he glanced down.probably thought of Ruthless

  • The realest motherfucker in the game. He answers every question with an honest, concise, and realistic opinion.

  • yO Dre !!

    Thnx man!!

    My thoughts i thnink you need too teach our people black white or brown people too do what we too do too change the world like 2pac tryed too

  • dr dre is the real shit!

  • 0.18, 5.57, 9.10. 4.53 cracks me up because Dre looks and talks like 'what u askin me white honkey?' :D

  • 0.18

  • True dat Dre! Teach Dr. teach!

  • wow informative, strait to the point!!!!! GREAT  JOB!!! THANK U ANDRE!!!

  • That's why Drake didn't let all those record labels brainwash him

  • what is a "point"?

  • who's the interviewer? he sounds stoned or slow or somethin

    Dre's sik tho, he kills it!

  • smart fuckin guy right there

  • 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.

  • This is a REAL artist for all the young ones trying to rise to the top!

    This man is a legend in every aspect of the hip hop/rap music industry and noone will ever be on his level......ever

  • very interesting. he has some smart things to say!

  • @DerVorletzteTighte OF COURSE HES A DOCTOR!! :D

  • 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

  • the wackest thing is how he avoids the political questions. money money money fuck that

  • "This is a fucking Dog eat Dog world, straight up....the record business." -dr dre

    Well said Dre.

  • 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!!

  • He always has the perfect answer and opinion about everything. Straight up Bad-Ass.

  • GREAT fuckin interview man. Dre is a master of his craft.

  • 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

  • Don't agree about the part that there would have been no Ice Cube.

  • @12c44l when he leaves the scene who are we gonna have left? hopefully someone new steps it up to his level.

  • @12c44l not sure about the eazy e part but what u speakin is true

  • @12c44l

    true, many people dont realize he helped mold all of those great MC's

  • @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...

  • @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

  • @12c44l That shit was smart

  • @12c44l Doctor Dre gave hiphop life again thats why he is a DOCTOR!

  • @12c44l Dre Day = Pay Day easy e rip

  • how many studios does dr dre have??lol

  • i think he need to work with immortal tec dat would b dat shit!! i dontno is jst me!!

  • 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!!

  • smart man...resp

  • str8 up!

  • SPEAK

  • real in depth series of interviews.gotta give dr.dre his respect on his whole perspective on the industry and whats really involved.

  • 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..

  • Dog Eat Dog

  • and so?:P

  • on of the most intelligent and smartest person not only in rap and hip hop industry, but in whole music industry!!!

  • haha dope!

  • He's smart, he knows how to think, he prepares for the future, thats a good thing,

    he's still in this shit cause he's smart

    not like others who arent as good!

  • why hes name is doctor?

  • HipHop legend and Detox is gonna be dope

  • STRAIGHT UP! :)

    DRE.

    the QUINCY JONES OF HIPHOP!

  • Straight Up

  • man, i adore him as a producer and even as a man, straight up

  • I'm wondering if dre already met eminem during the period of this interview?

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

  • Ah right! Thanks for informing me man.

    btw, nice uploads man! I'm also still a 2pac head. Got most of his OG Projects.

    Peass

  • @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

  • Great interview...Dre was able to make very intelligent responses on some dumbass questions

  • humble cat

  • Yeah, the Doc always speaks the truth. Straight uP.

  • awesome interview, its an older interview but touches every aspect for even todays topics, Dre is the real deal.

  • THE RECORD BUSINESS.... hehe lol

  • oh yea.... I'm goin' way up there alright...

  • straigh up
