Title: Dre's Voice
Post by: love33 on August 20, 2011, 09:04:55 AM
Why did Dre decide to change his voice on some of these tracks? For the most part, it sounds terrible.  Go listen to "Drug Test, "Chillin," and several of the other tracks.  Imagine him bustin these verses with his "Let Me Ride," "Dre Day," "Keep Their Heads Ringin," "Watcher" voice.  When he uses his raw laid back delivery he's badass; and that's his signature voice and flow.  It's worked and established his greatness over the years, I don't know or understand why he would try to mess with that.  Maybe he's tryin to become some Eminem-type rapper with this awkward flow and voice, but it sure doesn't work for me, and I would guess that the majority of his fans want to hear the OG raw Dre and it shows by the mediore reception he's gotten on these tracks where he changes.

dre has always been picky about his vocals. These new songs sound like he's comfortable with his voice for the fist time in his career

let him keep experimenting with it. Atleast he's not doing like eminem or 50 and yelling or using gay accents

How dumb are YOU? If Dre needs a reference track to tell how to rap to a beat (which he does because most of the leaks have been reference tracks) then obviously he isn't the one coming up with those styles. Give your feeble brain a chance to comprehend this bit of logic.

the reference track has nothin to do with the voice he chooses to use, dumbfuck. he can spit the same exact flow with 20 different voices. in the end, dre decides how the final tracks should SOUND, in ANY song he's involved in. ur flat out dumb for thinking whoever writes dre's lyrics is also deciding how dre's voice sounds lmao.

Yeah that video, no its not the 2001 voice, and his ghostwriters can switch his flow up but not his voice, anyway his ghostwriters should be writing how dre would flow.

LMAO so you think the ghostwriter for Drug Test made him a normal verse and he just decided on his own to rap like Timbaland? The inflections in his voice and slurring of his words are things the reference tracks lay out for Dre. Hence why Dre raps exactly like Em laid the track out for him on Crack a Bottle.

Listen to both versions of Crack a Bottle. Notice how Dre raps exactly how Em laid out. Now listen to Drug Prescription. The obvious conclusion is that he's rapping like Timbaland because the ghostwriter told him to rap that way. It's okay to admit your wrong.

It took him until 40 years old to find comfort with his voice?  If people wanted to hear a different voice they would go listen to another rapper.

Just imagine listening to Ice Cube, Too Short, or DJ Quik and their voice is messed up and it keeps changing almost sounding like a completely diff artist, and even sometimes you can barely recognize it.  The reason people like an artist is because they are unique and have their own fingerprint on rap, not trying to sound like every other eminem and jay-z out there.

His idea to go into the clubs was/is a flop.

"The Next Episode" (Dr. Dre "2001") was a huge club hit for him.  The first three singles on Death Row "Chronic" were club hits.  Now, "Topless," "Kush," and "Chillin" are all attempts at club hits.  Dre definitely wants to get into the club but his biggest fear right now is the techno rap.  He's afraid his music will be shelved for the modernized techno music like Flo Rida, Pitbull, and David Guetta (I wouldn't be surprised if Dre had Guetta do the club single for him after this mess he's in).  He is seein 50 struggle to re-establish his career, Game's 90k units in the first week, and he tried collabing with Eminem on "I Need A Doctor" and that didn't bode well to release his album.  He's afraid of flopping, that's why I think he's doin crazy shit like messin with his voice.  He has to compete with the young producers like Porter Robinson who are full of energy ready to pop all kinds of modernized music and then euro artists like Swedish House Mafia are creeping into the spins at clubs that rappers used to get, plus the vast amount of rap music is heavy.  Wayne, Ross, and Drake have that Miami market on lock, in ATL they are lookin for T.I., Jeezy, and Gucci; Jay-Z and Kanye got the midwest & east on lock; what is he going to do try to feature Jay-Z on every track?  Tracks like "Kush" will fly on the West Coast but that won't venture far out of the left side of the map with all this competition and techno-rap stealing spins.

Billboard position and single sales say otherwise. I don't know what other criteria you want to use. There isn't an album yet because Dre isn't satisfied with whatever he has.

dre's song is his second highest charting singled ever.

Quote
Due to the song being leaked onto the Internet several months in advance to its release, it was a significant commercial success on its official release, particularly in the United States, where it peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Dr. Dre's second highest peaking song on the chart ever, and also peaking in the upper regions of many national charts. As of July 2011, it has sold over 2,051,000 digital copies in the United States alone, making it Dr. Dre's first song to reach the landmark.

it's also by far the most viewed dre video on youtube with like 60mil hits.

Internet changed the whole demographics of music so its kinda hard to compare singles sales these days to something back in the early 90's when we didn't have digitial downloads of single songs.

Actually it would be more sales considering the majority of the population could not get the song for free instantly. I'm an 80s baby and I know I spent a helluva lot more money on singles back then. Actually I don't even spend money on singles anymore.

but as far as "I Need A Doctor" is concerned those numbers are becuz of Eminem, not becuz of Dr. Dre (i have 2 keep it 100). 


i wish i-Tunes could track who brought what from where.  like how much did Vermont buy, how much did Vegas buy and all that other shit like that.  it would be cool to see wassup where and to see how much people are buying vs what the labels are buying.  i only heard about that numerous amount of times, i can't say if it's true or not (i'm not a label exec this second).

yeah singles were like $2.99 or so if I remember correctly back in the 90's. Sometimes a single was not even released in order to further album sales even though the track was released to radio.

You gotta look at the sales of the album rather than the single -- "Dre Day" propelled 'The Chronic' to 5 million sales and proved that Dre wasn't a one-hit wonder as a solo artist.  A whole album cost $14 where a single is 99 cent or free for most of us here.

Actually it would be more sales considering the majority of the population could not get the song for free instantly. I'm an 80s baby and I know I spent a helluva lot more money on singles back then. Actually I don't even spend money on singles anymore.

You say INAD is dre's 2nd biggest hit based on the billboard charts which clearly comes from majority of downloadable purchases but then you say more people would be buying singles in the 90's because they couldn't get the song for free instantly like now so you're kinda contradicting your point.

How is that contradicting? INAD is selling millions in an era where songs are easily available for free, compared to an era where you were forced to spend money to get the song. There is less motivation to buy singles nowadays.

You were an infant in the 90s, lol at you trying to tell me what happened "back in those days". Lets see, I still have a collection of old singles inherited from all my brothers so obviously they sold. Nowadays everyone downloads the song for free. Who spends money on singles? I sure don't. But back in the day, yeah I would've bought the single of a song I loved (or bought the album)

i was never an infant in the 90s, u idiot, i was an infant in the 80s...i grew up in the 90s and have a lot of great memories from that time period, including shoppin at tower records, sam goody, record town, etc. i never said people didn't buy singles, i just said it wasn't nearly as popular as today, and most the sales were in full albums back in those days. nowadays, people buy singles on itunes for 99 cents all the damn time. it's easy and cheap. a lot of people prefer to spend 99 cents to download something in cdq with easy access as opposed to hunting for a free download and ending up with a bad quality version. it's just that most people feel like 99 cents is pocket change, so they dont mind dishin it out for a song they like...tons of people are buying singles right now as i type this. if u really think itunes didnt change the name of the game when it comes to single sales, u must slap yourself really hard...backhanded. go...

Internet changed the whole demographics of music so its kinda hard to compare singles sales these days to something back in the early 90's when we didn't have digitial downloads of single songs. Its apples to oranges. Guarantee if the general population had to go and and actually physically buy the INAD single it would not rack up the number or purchases it has.

Actually it would be more sales considering the majority of the population could not get the song for free instantly. I'm an 80s baby and I know I spent a helluva lot more money on singles back then. Actually I don't even spend money on singles anymore.


are u retarded? nobody bought singles back in those days... u ever seen someone in the 90's sayin "check this new cd single i bought"? lmao...nowadays, everyone buys singles for 99 cents on itunes. kill urself, dumbfuck.

You were an infant in the 90s, lol at you trying to tell me what happened "back in those days". Lets see, I still have a collection of old singles inherited from all my brothers so obviously they sold. Nowadays everyone downloads the song for free. Who spends money on singles? I sure don't. But back in the day, yeah I would've bought the single of a song I loved (or bought the album)


i was never an infant in the 90s, u idiot, i was an infant in the 80s...i grew up in the 90s and have a lot of great memories from that time period, including shoppin at tower records, sam goody, record town, etc. i never said people didn't buy singles, i just said it wasn't nearly as popular as today, and most the sales were in full albums back in those days. nowadays, people buy singles on itunes for 99 cents all the damn time. it's easy and cheap. a lot of people prefer to spend 99 cents to download something in cdq with easy access as opposed to hunting for a free download and ending up with a bad quality version. it's just that most people feel like 99 cents is pocket change, so they dont mind dishin it out for a song they like...tons of people are buying singles right now as i type this. if u really think itunes didnt change the name of the game when it comes to single sales, u must slap yourself really hard...backhanded. go...

You were 14 in 2002 right? That means you were 2 years old in the 90s.


in 2002 i was 15, meaning i spent my childhood growin up in the 90s, idiot. slap yourself...hard. fucking 90's baby.

I'm older than you kiddo...and I was barely of age to be listening to rap albums in the 90s, definitely not the early part of it. You got into music the same time the internet was becoming popular. Stop fronting like you know what it was like "back then"


wrong...i got into hip-hop before the downloading existed. i can remember being 6 years old and my uncles blasting eazy-e and 2pac on repeat...and before that, my pops was into run-dmc and digital undergound, the popular rap of those days. regardless, i was most definitely around way before itune single sales were available for download, so shut ur damn mouth if u have nothin 2 say.

lmao @ trying to claim you were a rap fan when you were 6. Your attempts to defend yourself are just sad. I would bet anything you were jamming to Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys.


lol, get the fuck outa here, my uncles would whoop my ass if i bumped that shit...u faggots think that because you discovered hip-hop when u were in your later teen years that everyone is the same. like it's some sort of shocker that some people were exposed to rap in their younger days. hate to break it to u, bitchboy, but that aint the case...like i said, i was put up on rap when i was young as fuck, probably before some peeps on this board was even born. step your game up n quit postin with a salt-shaker in ur hand.

When you were 6 you were dancing along to the latest pop fads, guarantee. lmao @ denying it. Of course a tool like you would pretend he listened to "cool" music his whole life. You and I both know the real story, even if you're too scared to admit it to this forum.


LOL, okay, faggot. whatever makes u feel better about bein a backstreet boys fan when u were younger.

^I ran into him at a Nsync concert.

lol @ disputing facts that "I Need A Doctor" isn't his second highest successful single.

I love how NIK kept saying, "you're too young" to me. Now he's run into somebody older than him & he's just further being exposed as a joke.

& I really love how he said "you gotta hunt down a bad quality version of a song, when you could just buy it for 99 cents" LOL. Yeah, NIK. It's impossible to find those download links. People only make threads across the internet, "NEW BUSTA RHYMES! LINK FOR CDQ DOWNLOAD INSIDE!".


and teenage girls dont go on message boards lookin for links, they just have mommy and daddy buy them singles for 99 cents. sorta like how mommy and daddy used to buy you your nsync albums, even though it was available for download. get the point?

LOL. Yes. Because teenage girls are just running to download a 45 year old Black rappers new single.


"I Need a Doctor" was big on the radio/mtv...it was catchy and had a poppy feel with skylar grey's hook. teens were all up on that shit...either way, it's not even close to his biggest hit. u wouldnt know, because u were still bumpin nsync when much bigger hits like "next episode" and "forgot about dre" came out.

^See, this is why I questioned whether you had mental problems or not. It's statistically proven what his second highest selling single is. It's not up for debate.

Obviously if you asked what's his best songs, this wouldn't come up. Sales are sales though, there are no changing facts.

You always struggled when dealing with facts because you couldn't put your own personal spin on it. Like Kobe, you just argue with your personal opinion. With how bitches look, personal opinion. How I look, personal opinion. How people live life on here, assumptions with no base (guessed opinion). But this doesn't require your opinion, it's just slated in history.

The sad shit is he was listening to kiddie music before the age of 10 and is too pussy to admit it. As the eldest in his family he didn't even have any older siblings to get his music tastes from. And he wants us to believe his typically rich Jewish mom and dad put him on to rap.

I self-admitted listening to those pop stars when I was ten. Basically the only ammo he's got against me. So if he admits into it, he doesn't have anything to say to me when I have him cornered, stumbling on words.

you're not getting the point, are u, slow ass? i know that based on SALES, it's his 2nd highest SELLING single. But it is not his 2nd BIGGEST hit, as it hasn't gotten nearly as much radio play, video play, club play, and recognition overall. my POINT was that SINGLE SALES have INCREASED drastically since the introduction of itunes, whereas overall RECORD SALES have DECREASED. do you get it yet? Most of the people who heard hits like "Next Episode", "Still DRE", and "Forgot About Dre" went out and bought the ablum (not the single), hence the album going 6 times platinum. if Dre dropped an album now, do u think "I Need A Doctor" is big enough to sell 6 million copies? if u do, u are fucking dumber than i even thought....slap yourself x 3487377 for not getting what i'm saying and arguing based on the fact that u cant comprehend.

You clearly don't. You're still arguing.

& Recovery sales are what Eminem used to do in a month's time ten years ago. A Dre album full of fifteen "Next Episode"'s wouldn't sell six times platinum in 2011, let alone maybe one.

& like we've already discussed, I know you think teenage girls are just running to buy Dr. Dre iTune songs, but in reality, more people downloaded it than purchased it.

You ever hear the term "one hit wonder"? The song is still considered a "hit" despite it even being corny or wack like "Crank That". Or you ever hear 50 Cent saying in one of his recycled lines "I make hit records"? He's acknowledging the fact he has more than one hit. Sure, "In Da Club" will be the one he's remembered for. But "Candy Shop" did better numbers, it made 50 Cent more money. Therefore it is "bigger".

Correction. Wiggers on this forum will know every word. A lot of people in Cali certainly. No one who started getting into music past 2000 will have even heard it before. This guy....you're still letting your nostalgia speak for you. The songs of your childhood and teen years will always be the biggest songs to you. But the fact is that every generation past you will not have those memories. And the generations before you will not think your music is a big deal. What is classic to you is obviously not to them.

LOL...okay, "I Need a Doctor" is Dre's 2nd biggest hit. thats why he hasn't released an album yet based on the fact that none of his singles have gained enough popularity for him to feel comofortable, right? really, how dumb are u?? do u not understand that single sales have STATISTICALLY increased drastically since Dre put out "The Chronic" and "2001"? that means in terms of RATIO, "I Need a Doctor" is not close to singles like "Let Me Ride", "Nuthin But A G Thang", "Keep Their Heads Ringin", "Still DRE", etc. which are ALL timeless classics that still get played to this very day...honestly, ur the 2nd worst poster on this board behind cham. not just sayin that cuz i dislike u, ur just flat out dumb, son.

recognition, familiarity, radio play, popularity...if u put on "next episode" at a club, everyone will know every last word. if someone put on "i need a doctor", half the people in the room wont even know whos song it is...it's not nearly as big as the hits that have gotten dre multi-platinum plaques. there is a reason dre hasnt put out an album yet. beyonce and katy perry are getting way more recognition than the shit dre is putting out. back in the day, when dre put somethin out, it was as big as anything out, and even bigger. only an idiot would think "i need a doctor" is dre's 2nd biggest hit based on itune sales...then again, u are a fucking idiot.

Correction. Wiggers on this forum will know every word. A lot of people in Cali certainly. No one who started getting into music past 2000 will have even heard it before. This guy....you're still letting your nostalgia speak for you. The songs of your childhood and teen years will always be the biggest songs to you. But the fact is that every generation past you will not have those memories. And the generations before you will not think your music is a big deal. What is classic to you is obviously not to them.


LOL...okay, "I Need a Doctor" is Dre's 2nd biggest hit. thats why he hasn't released an album yet based on the fact that none of his singles have gained enough popularity for him to feel comofortable, right? really, how dumb are u?? do u not understand that single sales have STATISTICALLY increased drastically since Dre put out "The Chronic" and "2001"? that means in terms of RATIO, "I Need a Doctor" is not close to singles like "Let Me Ride", "Nuthin But A G Thang", "Keep Their Heads Ringin", "Still DRE", etc. which are ALL timeless classics that still get played to this very day...honestly, ur the 2nd worst poster on this board behind cham. not just sayin that cuz i dislike u, ur just flat out dumb, son.

I Need a Doctor is the best Dre could have hoped for popularity-wise, considering its done better than any of his singles from 2001. The album hasn't come out yet because Dre isn't satisfied with the album. You're just an idiot stuck on nostalgia who can't see what's right in front of you. Lol @ talking about timeless classics when this song came out this year. A true comparison is to see how this song has done compared to those songs during the years they came out. "Still Dre" failed on the charts. It's a classic to us dre fans but popularity-wise it didn't go anywhere.

Still Dre was played all around the world whatever its chart position was .... the most popular song of an artist isn't automatically the one who did the best chart wise ... " What's my name" is thousand of times more known than Drop like it's hot ...
