Raekwon Defends Dr. Dre's Work Ethic, "He Got A Lot Of Things On His Plate

[FreeMac]

^^ good point. Never really thought about it like that. I still think Dre's lazy, but the Suge/DR thing seems a lil clearer now.

But what are you basing that on? Obviously, none of us have the inside source here but I've never heard any artist, current or former, say "I went in to record for Detox and Dre was sitting on a couch in his sweatpants, eating Cheeto's, and watching soap operas while everyone else worked". I think "lazy" is a term the frustrated fans who are tired of waiting for the album are using but it doesn't fit. How many of the people saying this understand the difference between a lazy person and a perfectionist? It seems like Dre's mind state is he wants the album done right and that's hard to set a time table to. I want "Detox" as much as anybody else but it seems pointless to rush it at this point.

dre is a 300 or 400 million dollar nigga ?

I thought he had more. Bishop has said a few times that Dres "In Malibu counting his $900 million dollars", and that sounds about right.

[Booz]

You over-analyzing as always. He wasn't really talking about the exact millions Dre has, c'mon now people.

[Matty]

could care less how much money he has. i'm more bothered about the lack of music that we get to hear compared to the crazy amount he supposedly cooks up in the studio..

[rhythmalism]

I'm looking forward to those 3 tracks on OBCL2 produced by Dre. Raekwon sounded sick on "Goldmine" with Busta 

[MarshColin]

LMAO @ people calling Dre lazy when it's been stated so many times that Dre makes TONS of shit, he just releases very little of it. That does not equate to laziness, it equates to perfection.

[Matty]

not when some of the stuff he releases isn't exactly 'perfection'. there's more to it than that with the whole interscope label situation.

and remember, OBCL2 is confirmed to have a MAX of 2 dre beats now, not 3 (although 3 tracks are done). so maybe 2, but maybe even 1 or 0 on the final cut, depends how negotiations go...

[TRG]

Dre's to busy goin to Laker games.

yh, think its co produced by dr.dre

[shoo]

Damn. some of you guys are funny as fuck. Calling Dre lazy because you don't hear that much music from him?
And what do you people think? Making music is a fun when you're doing it in your home studio, recording a love song for your girl (or boy... depends  if you're gay or not)
But Dre works in music industry - I. N. D. U. S. T. R. Y.

some of you realy have to grow up and think about what this world looks like outside your room.

you're a bunch of lazy idiots who spend hours on internet forums...

[T-Dogg]

Funny how when Dre's peers in the music business speak about him, all you get is praise. But when mofo's on the internet - who have never met the man - speak on him, you get a lot of hate.

[weedhead]

Dre got a bill......I think people here miss the whole point in the numbers...if em has more than fif.dealing with this music shit...what yall think dre got,and he gets paid from both of them cats.....Jimmy got waaaaay more than all them together.think about it..just on a yearly salary alone dre get between 15mill. do the math.
