Dr. Dre feat. Warren G! (how dope would that be!) arnt they brothers?

[Okka]

I wonder what is the reason, why they never appreciated Warren. He didnt get signed to Death Row, they pretty much just told him to suck dick. Recording '2001' was fucked up too. Since they didnt even call him. Dre pretty much turned his back on him all the way.

When they was at Death Row it was Dre who told Warren G to go and do his own thing. Now that's cold.

[arubiano83]

maybe label politics..I dont know..
its a shame though

[love33]

Jimmy Iovine has some agenda against Warren G....He wouldn't authorize Dr. Dre to appear on a track for his album and he doesn't allow Dre to release tracks with him.  I don't know if it's because back in the day Warren G left Death Row/Interscope when Interscope was the main distributor of Death Row and he took "Regulate" and "Do You See" from Suge/Jimmy and released it on Russell Simmon's Def Jam (if you look at the "Regulate" insert it credits the first 2 tracks as being owned by Suge Publishing).  Warren signed with Universal which is a cousin to Interscope but completely seperately run and he never got no major push like he did when he was on Def Jam so I don't know what the situation is and why Jimmy won't authorize Dre to work with him but my guess would be it has something to do with him leaving Death Row and taking those tracks and releasing it on Def Jam and selling millions ("Regulate" was released on Above The Rim Soundtrack but then the rest of the tracks he took, he even pulled Daz and Kurupt off "What We Go Through" original track because Suge owned those verses).

i've heard this, but really it makes absolutely no sense.

so warren g submitted demo's to Dre, demo's that later became ain't no fun, rat-tat-tat, mr. officer (unreleased), lil ghetto boy, deez nuts, let me ride, and possibly stranded on death row and gz and hustlas. and maybe a couple of other songs i'm forgetting.

a solid handful of songs on both the chronic and doggystyle should have said 'co-produced by warren g'

warren g was CRITICAL to the success of doggystyle and the chronic. the style of production that dre used on those albums was influenced by the style warren had already developed.


then dre told warren 'go do ur own thing, i'm not gonna promote you, i don't think ur gonna be a star' when the dude just co-produced classic records, is a dope producer in his own right, and could spit?

there must be something more to this story. either that of dre was in denial that warren was instrumental to his success and wanted to pretend it didn't happen or something...

[bouli77]

well some say that dre did this on purpose to keep warren away from all the death row drama.

dubcnn.com : How come you and Dr. Dre never had a duo together?

Uhm, I don't know, you got to ask Dre that man! I can't call that one!


dubcnn.com : I heard he was in the OG version of "Lookin' At You"...

He was on that.. He was on there, but I guess Jimmy Iovine didn't agree with it, so I guess he had to take it off!


dubcnn.com : But why wouldn't he agree with it??

I don't know man! I couldn't tell you, I ain't in Jimmy Iovine's head! You know? I can't call that one, ya'll hit Jimmy Iovine up and tell him that. How come you did that? We wanna hear Warren G and Dr. Dre together. You gotta hit them and let them know ! And that question right there, that's HUGE! Man that's something ya'll need to ask Dre! Cause my decision has always been a yay, not a nay! *laughs* So you can ask Dre that all day! That's what you guys have to do, ask Dre. I just be myself man, I just continue to stay Warren G, I ain't gone change! And I'ma still continue to bring you hot music not matter what! If it's independent, or if it's with a major company! But it looks like these major companies right now ain't really doin' it. The independent game is what is taking over. So I don't really give a fuck about no major so they can deny me all they want!

From and old DubCNN interview with Warren G.

He sounds pretty butthurt over it.

So many people are claimin' they made those beats that it's real hard to tell who did what in reality. Warren, Daz, Sam Sneed, Emmanuelle Dean etc.. Warren G himself said in an interview that Dr. Dre told him to go and do his own thing with Def Jam.

[Teddy Roosevelt]

What's so complicated about it? Warren Gs career has faded since his debut album and Dre isn't going to work on something unless it can be widely heard. Label politics probably has a lot to do with it, but for the past several years, all Dre has cared about is $ and making popular music. Why do you think he doesn't work with any of the old Death Row artists (except the still popular Snoop Dogg), but will collaborate a million times with Eminem?

[Trip Dee]

well some say that dre did this on purpose to keep warren away from all the death row drama.

but engaged Warren's friends instead? i don't think so. besides, Dre would be the 1st one to bounce if he knew what's gonna happen at DR.

maybe Dre just doesn't like Warren on a personal level that much tho, they family, y'all know how it is with a family sometimes...

true true... but i'm only saying that warren gave dre some demo's and then dre re-did those demo's into the album versions of the beats

and i mean with songs like rat-tat-tat-tat the album version is 100x better than the demo version... so dre still gets his due credit...

idk if warren worked on final versions of songs with dre the way say colin wolfe and barney rubble did. all i know is that warren brought demo's to the table, and dre liked some of the samples he found...

snoop himself said it like this at rock the bells 'warren g and daz brought a lot of demo's to dre that were halfway right... and then dre made then ALL the way right'. that's probably a good description of what happened.

[GangstaBoogy]

dude retire this thread already!

shits been asked a million times - there's no answer! Dre won't speak on it so all the rest of us (including warren g) can do is wonder and speculate

[love33]

Warren G was also pulled off of "Lets Play House" Dogg Pound single.....I think it has to be that Jimmy and Suge invested money to promote him by making "Regulate" a single on Above The Rim and he ran to Russell Simmons and Def Jam capitalized when that album sold 3 million albums......That also explains why Dogg Pound was pulled off of "What We Go Thru" because Death Row/Interscope wouldn't authorize it they were pissed at him for running with those tracks after they poured all that money down to promote him...maybe Dre gave him the blessing but Suge and Jimmy sure didn't see it that way

[hoobanginbawse]

Because Dre is a bitch.
