message: This article just looks like a commercial for Dr. Dre. Where are the early parts of his career?  Where are those pictures from the 70s when he was dressed in tights looking for a music career in any kind of music?  The biography starts with the beginning of his rap career.  There is nothing about his childhood, his upbringing, or any other information other than his image.  This really needs to be remedied.

message: Can someone shed some light on Dre's beef with Suge? Like what is referenced in Eminem's like toy solder track. Innit.—Preceding unsigned comment added by  (talk • contribs) 
:It's simple.  Dre left Death Row Records abruptly without giving Suge nor most people at Death Row any warning.  Death Row is notorious for treating the company like a 'crime family'.  Leaving "the family" on disrespectful terms was unforgivable.  It might sound extreme to the average individual but that is what they believed in as a company.

thread_title:  Singles totally imperfect 

message: From Dr Dre wikipedia article.
"The turning point for Aftermath came in 1998, when Dre signed underground Detroit rapper Marshall Mathers, artistically known as Eminem to his label, producing his controversial album The Slim Shady LP in 1999"
To say that he produced eminems first album insinuates that he did all if not the majority.
Dre did not produce the majority of eminems slim shady lp, the bass brothers did. Dr Dre produced "my name is", "guilty conscience", "Role Model". That would be 3 out of 20 tracks (including skits). The rest of the albums production is credited to Jeff Bass, Marky Bass & Marshall Mathers. Even though dr dre was responsible for eminems rise to fame, to say he produced his debut lp is incorrect.
Reference is the cd liner notes, or online @ >

:It doesn't matter. The Game and Snoop Dogg make songs together. Game is a blood and Snoop is a crip.
Dre was never involved with the Crips. --Ted87 22:07, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

-this is great, but please move it to the Dr. Dre discography section! -jeffjrstewart
20060117.
article says: "...but feared that the fact he was white would harm his credibility in the overwhelmingly black market of hip hop" (about eminem).
this is not correct information. if you do your research you will find out that it's when the white middle class youth starts buying your albums that you sell a lot of records, ask any record company and they will tell you.
-True, but white artists still need to gain respect in the hip-hop community in order to be taken seriously by the white suburban kids. If hip-hop's core audience doesn't respect a white rapper, neither will the white kids.
:Yo people, what about "Hello"? He was featured in that single too, together with MC Ren. --- Efil4tselaer 23:20, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

message: The NWA article says theres a reunion album coming out. Is there any validity to this?
I doubt it as Eazy-E & DJ Yella have passed away, The D.O.C. although an unofficial member is unable to perform, Ice Cube is not on friendly terms; Dr. Dre & MC Ren are the only members willing to collaborate, but hey anything could happen. Ramos2907 20:43, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: LMAO Yella is still alive and Ice Cube and Dr. Dre made up after the NWA break-up (Natural Born Killaz). Ice Cube, Dr. Dre and Snoop then released a song as "NWA" called "Chin Check". MC Ren and Dr. Dre appeared on the Ice Cube song "Hello" (War & Peace Vol. 2 (The Peace Disc)). Dr. Dre was going to produce an album for Ice Cube after 50 Cent's debut, but plans changed when 50 Cents record did well (Dre chose 50 Cent's second album over an album with Ice Cube). Dr. Dre is too money hungry and probably doesnt see enough profit in Ice Cube, which is really a shame. All money, so the saying goes. --AlexOvShaolin 01:49, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  NWA Reunion?! 

message: The definition of producer in the section "Allegations of Ghost Writers" is a little skewed. It currently states:
In music, the role of producer is often simply given to the person who "creates the beat", be it through the use of a drum machine, keyboards, or even simply choosing samples and looping them.
This is only correct in the field of rap and hip-hop - e.g. Phil Spector, a noted producer, never wrote music for the Beatles. Likewise, Bob Rock didn't create beats for Metallica, but he did produce several albums for them. In other genres, producer carries the second meaning given later in the article:
However, the role of producer has generally been understood to mean controlling recording sessions, guiding performers, and supervising the recording, mixing and mastering processes.
Therefore, I suggest editing the paragraph to read thusly:
Some of the controversy may stem from a dispute over what the term "producer" means in music. In rap music, the role of producer is often simply given to the person who "creates the beat", be it through the use of a drum machine, keyboards, or even simply choosing samples and looping them. By this definition, allegations that Young was not the "real" producer of some tracks credited to him can have merit. However, the role of producer in other genres has generally been understood to mean controlling recording sessions, guiding performers, and supervising the recording, mixing and mastering processes. In this respect, Dr. Dre can be given the credit as the primary and most important producer, even in the face of these allegations.
I think this clarifies the article and sheds light on why there is controversy over Dre's credit as producer - it's specific to the genre. 82.3.211.32 09:41, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

*No, he usually works with other MC's on lyrics. Read the article it's mentioned somewhere in there. User:Volumesoxxs
didn't answer my question. I know most of Dre's raps are written by others. My question is, are there any examples of ones he has written? and what are they?66.167.78.254 05:23, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
