Who has Dre really brought into the game?

[On The Edge of Insanity]

I'm starting to get fed up with people thinking that Dr Dre has bought loads of people into the hiphop game, I mean I had an argument from sum fool the other day who was saying that 2 Pac owed his success to Dre, I mean what a sucker he was. Anyways here is a list of people that Dre has made successful in my eyes, feel free to add people to it.

DOC
Snoop
Knocturnal

Those people are seriously the only ones I can think of, and still everyone goes on about him being some guy who brings people into the business.

Comments?

eminem

Sorry dude but....how can you put Knocturnal over Eminem?!!?

[Don Seer]

Hittman - lol
Xzbit was changed by his involvements with Dre

[On The Edge of Insanity]

Oh yeah I forgot about Eminem.

I don't think that you can attribute much of Xzibit's success to Dre. I think that Xzibit was starting to move towards using the style of production that we have seen on Restless and Man vs Machine anyway, having already hooked up with Soopafly on 40 Dayz and 40 Nightz and appearing on a track off of Soopafly's album, and having had a Melman beat on LA Times. I think Xzibit would have blown up with his third album regardless of Dre's involvement.

Hittman definately doesn't count, Dre didn't even get round to releasing his album.

Dre's brought in many...I think these are his best

1.  Eminem
2.  Snoop Dogg
3.  N.W.A.

Dre is like a general manager/coach. Everyone he has made successful was already full of talent, they just needed a forum to showcase it, and aliitle pointers to help make it sell. Snoop and Eminem were unknown, Dre took them in polished them up and sent them out. Xzibit and Tupac were well known among the Hip Hop community but no one outside knew there music. Dre gave them songs that got people to listen. (X, and California Love). He is not completely responsible for their success but he did help. Look at Shaq, he was next to nothing before Phil Jackson came along.

Yo Shallow, your 2 Pac comment was pretty stupid. Plenty of people had heard of 2 Pac before California Love, hell that was probably the worst single Pac ever released. You trying to tell me that Dear Mama didn't gain Pac commercial success?

And Murrow, it was Eazy E who put NWA together, and I hardly think you can say that NWA's success with down to Dre.

[Shallow]

Go back and check the record sales, whether you like Cali Love or not is irrelevent, it sold records and it was every , it was NOT his best song, not even close, I love "Dear Mama" it gave him critical success, but unfortunately that does not mean anything. And remember the death had more to do with his success than any thing else, before that it was the 5 shots, but as far as commercial acceptance "musically" it was Cali Love. (both versions)

[Dedicato]

Dont forget Eve! ... Eve of Destruction

best:

NWA
Eminem
Snoop
Xzibit
Truth Hurts

What means he put them together, it was his Idea, when Dre and Cube were already on Ruthless only cuz HBO didn't want to rap Cubes lyrics for Boyz N The Hood, but Dre was down with Cube befor Eazy was and Yella was in The World Class Wreckin' Cru with Dre.
Eazy brought Ren.

And Ruthless wasn't sucessful befo Dre and Cube joined for writin/producin

I ain't taking no credit from Eazy, but their commercial sucess was mostly cuz of Dre.


And The Pound would also be nothin compared to what they are / were, the sucess of all them former Death Row members and Death Row itself was of course not only but on the most cause of Dre.

[LazyLatino]

Haha You fools that are sayin NWA dont know shit what you talkin about!  

Eazy-E brought Dre in from the Wreckin Crew, he founded Ruthless Records, Without Eazy Dre would still be in his shiny suit and lipstick dancin on stage with Lonzo.

Dre has been involved with way more success than anyone else in the history of rap music, end of story.  Whether it be bringing someone in the game, or bringing them to even greater success, Dre has done it.

Say hi to bad guy, how could you just skip over Eminem, DOgg Pound, Warren G, Nate Dogg (if Snoop wouldnt have got on, neither would they possibly),

think before you post ; just cuz you dont like Dre doesnt mean he hasn't brought people in the game.

Another thing: i hate that Xzibit works with Dre now, it fucking blows!  However, to say Xzibit was gonna be as big a star without Dre is LUDICROUS!  THat would mean no Bitch please (the song that brought Xzibit to the masses), and no 2001 and the resulting tour (where he really got known)...
