Title: Dr.Dre - 2001 = Almost 7 millions sold!!!
Post by: .: God Is One :. on December 25, 2001, 09:45:50 PM
I was thinkin, if Jay-Z´s Blueprint is a classic and have only sold about platinum and are now on number 62 or something on the billboard chart, what the fuck do you call Dre 2001 - Multiclassic!? I mean, i dont think even Nas will sell like Dre did back then...
Look at Dre, he was in the top then for weeks(I dont know how many, but many there was)

The Next Eminem album will also have theese huge sales, ill guaratee you, so that means that WestCoast will be on top when Dre & Em drops their next albums....wenever that will be.

Peace

Dre's hibernating again.  It's the 96-98 Dre all over again.  He's sleeping like a baby.  But obviously I'm not about to count him out.  But I'm also not expecting to see anything substantial out of him for a long time.

Yeah, he´s dropping a beat here, and another there. Thats the only thing he does theese kind of days.

He´s not doing anything right now, he´s just dickriding his own succes and thats fucked up, cuz he knows that people wanna hear he´s smooth, dope & classic beats.

you what?.. detox is in the the works.. he's just done 'the wash' and appeared in trainin day, coming up he's got detox, the truth, hittman, the new eminem.. plus exec producing man vs. machine and dropping the odd thing here and there.
think about how many tracks dre usually makes for an album before they choose the best.. that shit takes time. plus the guys gotta rest sometime.. u gotta believe someone who doesnt even have to work anymore should take some time to chill with his family etc.

Well how do YOU know that he´s doing something!?

How do you know that the trax that he drops here and there not are old trax he did before Chronic 2001!?

Oh, and dont say shit like: I saw him in an interview and he actually said he´s busy n shit.
Think about it:
Do you really think he would say: Hell yeah! im gonna take a year off and leave my fellows on the westcoast by their own, im not gonna do anything, i dont give a fuck! I make my money so im satisfied.

Think about it: Have he produced a whole album since "2001" on his own(co prod. included)
Hell No! but thats what we want him to do, i mean the Rakim album wont be produced by Dre all by himself, not Hittman either, same thing with the Thruth, Em too, etc etc

He´s too lazy to do that shit like he did back in the days.

damnit who do you cal ignorant?

that thing youve said about him sending tracks and waiting for the money is ignorant. and you say he didnt do shit, just party at UIS, that is an ignorant statement as well.
and to call him lazy cause he doesnt executive produces their albums? he's the exec. producer of the next xzibit, eminem truth and prolly hittman. damn you call him lazy cause he doesnt produce full albums, i cannot understand this first you give him props for the sales and then call him lazy and blame him. btw 2001 is already certified 7x platnum

Just a few things.. First of all lemme start quoting my fav rapper, Warren G: he recently said that Dr.Dre is a workaholic. Working on beats till perfection. He's a perfectionist, that's why he's the number 1.

Second.. he aint 2Pac. He prefeers to spend time with his family rather than with the engeneers of his record label, making 4 tracks a day. I feel him. It's his life. But when he HAS to make something.. he works 24/7 on it till it's perfect! All his shit is perfect! And that's enought for me. This is the best attitude to have (for me). Music is music... LIFE 1ST, MUSIC 2ND.

3rd thing.. about UIS being a vacation.. Just cause u saw some videos? Man.. what are u saying?? Guys usually use tours to met old friends, to talk with fans, to try new sounds, to talk about new projects, new collaborations, to make a new feeling with fans, to make tracks, etc..

For example.. Warren G made 90% of Take A Look Over Your Shoulder while being in tour, worldwide. With Twinz & 5 Footaz. So it aint exactly a vacation. It's about finding a new feeling with the fans, it's about searching for new stimulus, for innovation. Dre is not only an MC that can just say BS like "1 2 3 i'm a G, Supercrip!" etc and fill a track with BS.. He's a PRODUCER! It means u GOTTA find something new.. creative! It's possible that there are periods when u dont find the right concentration. That's all.

For example.. Dre in 1995-1996 wasnt so inspired cause, like he said, he didnt like the GANGSTA shit of Death Row. Like real gangsters, thugz.. like the "Wassup in the ghetto today? U shot some1? We gotta kill this n***a, we gotta shut this mouth.. Make a diss track against this fool or i'll break your balls, We gotta go to NYC to kill those rappers, etc..". He needs something different. Like a group of friends, like relax.. sitting back.. thinking about new shit, etc..

He aint a machine, man!! Only Pac was a machine!


About Warren G.. well.. he helped him a lot in 1999 remixing the single of GAME DONT WAIT, making it a hit. And he helped Nate and Snoop a lot. According to Warren G, some1 told Dre not to do shit on the new Warren G cd but just letting him use 1 beat. So u dont have to blame Dre for it. And Warren got nothing but love for Dre, so.. why u bitching? Nate said in WELCOME 2 DEATH ROW that he got nothing but love for Dre, cause he's the man. Ice Cube too! Snoop too! They all love him. And the reason is not cause Dre is asking em money, trust me! LOL!

Nothing to add, your statements are obviously wrong!

What i wrote is what i think, OK!?

You dont know what he does (even if u think YOU do) im just printing down what i think he does and everybody comes at me like: NO NO he busy as fuck, he said he´s doing this, and he said he´s doing that. I mean WHAT THA FUCK!!?
Do you always believe in what a person say to you?
Man, he´s been promising us albums for years that hasnt even come out!!? The only thing he does is dropping a beat here and there but he calls it: Ececutive producing.

He promise us this and that, but the only thing that drops are The Wash, fucked up...

Hey.. it's cool with me! You say what u think, and i say what i think. Well.. if u still aint ok about my previous post.. i'll quote Dr.Dre himself, from the NWA(2) track "Hello"..

[Dr. Dre]
Did I fall off?  Got you in your room
rippin every "Chronic" poster on your wall off
Just cause I put away the sawed off
Now I got you sittin back with a smirk;
listenin with your arms crossed
Questionin Dre's credibility {What?}
Wondering if it's still in me to produce hits;
Y'all be killin me
As if I need to make mo' - I got a mansion
and six cars that are paid fo' - suck my dick! {Hello..}
We came a long way from not givin a fuck
Sellin tapes out of a trunk to movin this far up
Now we got the whole world starstruck
Made a million plus and still don't give a motherfuck
Motherfucker I'm Dre - I don't need your respect
I don't need to make another album bitch I don't gotta do shit
I do it because I want to not to stay in the game
Fuck the fame, I'm still stayin the same, lil' bitch! {Hello..}

I think this is another good reply.

It's not about trusting him or not. This is what he thinks, and what he wanna do. You cant do nothing. And it's cool for me.

What’s the longest you’ve ever taken on one song?


Damn near a month with Dre on the first single, "Lookin At You." We’d be in the studio for two days rewriting verses. We’d do it and he’d come back the next day and be like ‘naw, I don’t like that. Let’s do it over.’ Dre is the hardest working man in the business. That’s real. He will stay in the studio for three days with no sleep. He don’t even nod!  

Why didn’t he rhyme on the song with you?


What he told me was that Interscope wouldn’t let it happen because he has so much music coming out at the same time with The Wash soundtrack and the Training Day stuff. But I was like ‘Dog, this is me!’ But they was like it can’t happen. But I’m cool. We’ll do it next time.


ONE MONTH TO MAKE A BANGER.. yeah man.. dre's so lazy...
