What songs did he steal from dre on this album?
It might be fairer to say that he was writing at Dre's demand & on Dre's behalf for quite a while & in spite of his vocal condition with the car crash he was still hoping for a second chance for a second record (that he likely expected Dre to produce) & felt cheated when he realized Dre was only interested in the DOC's ghostwriting skills so he did take the product of his work for Dre when he left Death Row, which was essentially the whole concept for what was supposed to have been the Dre & Cube duo album, & it did include some demo beats from Dre that Erotic D "re-worked" on DOC's own "Helter Skelter".So I'd think they both did benefit 'in different ways) from one another's work together... & They did get back together for "2001" & "Deuce".
Dubcnn: Helter Skelter, what’s the history behind that with you? Dre was talking about this record, before it came out were you supposed to be on that.N*gga, me and Dre are so tight that I can get on any record that he put out; I just refuse to sit up under Dre like some of these n-ggaz. As far as n-ggaz not coming out I feel I get a better play from Dre because I don’t rely on Dre, so yeah I was going to be on Helter Skelter. You want to know some sh-t? At the time when DOC told me the record was going to be called Helter Skelter I felt really disrespected, but at the same time them n-ggaz broke me off really, really nice. I was getting paid for doing what I was supposed to. Dre hadn't put the record out yet and DOC told me straight up that he wanted to name the record that before Dre could so that was the only motivation behind that title.Dubcnn: From that record, were some of those tracks old Dre tracks?No, that was all me. I was in the studio for 8 months thinking how I can shock the world. The only thing I used was the original beat that came in by itself on the Brand New Formula, because Doc requested that. I just looped that instrumental, but all them drum breaks and all that was all live sh-t. I hired some of the best musicians I could find to play. The bass lines was live, the saxophones were live, the congas was my sh*t. 80% of helter Skelter was all live drums. We just mixed the sh*t out of those motherf-ckers!I had five hundred thousand dollars so I didn't have to work, EVER! *laughs*. I ain't got to watch my mouth; I’m the captain of the ship. DOC gave me the keys and the concept of what he wanted and I created all that. He wanted to use a couple of old Dre tracks though and Dre put an injunction on the record which I was like God Damn there is a God thank you. Cause I don’t want to steal nobody music we ain't got to do that. There was one track he wanted to use called "The year after", bringing us back to the two faced n-gga Sean Thomas the keyboard, I let him hear the song and he played keyboards on the original song so he went back and told Dre before the record came out. At the time I was pissed of at him but I should have thanked him because that gave me a chance to remix the record.
^^ Thanks for clearing that up bro
