Great interview, its nice to actually hear an honest breakdown of the bullshit that goes on at aftermath and its a shame to hear that Dres the main one whos flopping all these album releases for the most part and jimmy to a lesser extent, i guess Dre has a right to be like that when you look at what hes accomplished but still think about how much dope shit we're never gonna hear

He tends to know how to sell a new artist to Dre fans while at the same time, making them able to create an entire fanbase of their own. This is a valuable tool for creating new stars but it's more or less to the point where Dre has done so much that just putting out another album isn't enough. It has to be some "Oh my God! Most incredible shit I've ever heard" stuff or else, it turns into "He has fallen the fuck off!". Stat brought up a great example with that Busta Rhymes album. People really sleep on that fucking album.
Yeah, he was talking about Grow Up. I wish the label had gotten behind that one because I think that was an excellent record.

That record just wasn't for him. I still feel that Bishop should've given Dre that record. "Grow Up" would've been that perfect first single for Dre to slap the world with.
