"We give Dre his props but that's where it stops"
« on: January 18, 2003, 05:55:19 AM »
I was just listening to The Watcher 2, and was wondering how did people take this line from Jay? To me it seems kinda rude - Jay hasn't acheived half of what Dre has, and to spit it on a remake of one of Dre's hits is just wrong. Or is not meant as belittling Dre? Any thoughts?

I agree...I don't think he's in the position to spit a line like that one

I think he means that him and RocaFella are so good (in his opinion) and better than everyone, that the only person outside that click they respect is Dre, nobody else deserves props.

But yea also I took it the other way at first.

he's sayin he respects dre but that's where it stops.... he means that roc-a-fella is his only friends in the industry, he said so in his xxl interview a few months ago

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

Yeah, thats what it sounds like to me.




I think that if you take one of the 'O's' out of 'Good' it's 'God', if you add a 'D' to 'Evil' it's the 'Devil'. I think some cool motherfucker sat down a long time ago and said 'let's figure out a way to control motherfuckers'.

He's talking about the West Coast...


"we give Dre his props, but that's where it stops"...He's basically dissing the rest of the West Coast...Otherwise he woulda said something about Rakim too (since he was also on the track)...PeACe

No...he's saying Dre is (one of) the only artists on the West Coast who deserves his props...I've discussed this quote with many heads in the past, including people in the business...PEaCe
