Joel Ortiz was signed for one reason.... his lyrics.... he's clearly ghostwriting for detox...

Yeah, unfortunately I think that's the main reason behind Dre signing Joel Ortiz. It's a shame though: I'd love to see a Joel Ortiz album being overlooked by the good Doctor. But I don't really see it happening though. Ortiz lacks that "mainstream appeal" in the eyes of the big bosses over at Interscope. Hopefully he WILL drop his debut on Aftermath though...would be interesting!

But even if he doesn't drop something on Aftermath, at least we've got his Koch-album to look forward to
