"Family Affair" is a classic beat in my opinion. Just imagine having someone like Snoop Dogg, Eminem or Xzibit rapping over that track. Dam.
See, you hit the nail on the head man - it AIN'T Snoop, Em or X on that beat - it's Mary J Blige. No offence to fans, but Mary's music does NOTHING for me, and so knowing Dre produced Family Affair does nothing for me, just like knowing a film director I like made a wack film doesn't make me like that movie. If Dre used all his beats for his own crew(s), and put that music out more often, it would mean more than selling left overs to artists that a significant proportion of his fan base couldn't give a fuck about.
I agree 100%. It's like Samuel L. Jackson is a great actor, and he is in the movie Shaft. Shaft is a completely horrible movie so it is like a waste of using Samuel L. Jackson.
Not that I got a problem with Mary on "Family Affair," it was very tight. But, it would be nice to hear rappers tear it up on that track.
Dre himself defined an industry hoe as someone who was willing to work with a gang of different people in the industry, and swore he'd never become one (it was in the cover story in The Source a few years back, I don't have it to quote directly.)
going? hehebtw.. truth hurts wasnt that special... lots of rehashed rnb formulas. well done, but nothing amazingly new ... apart from addicitive.
Are you serious??? If Dre worked with N Sync then I would lose all respect for him. I mean he turned down Micheal Jackson, one of the greatest in the music industry, yet he decides to work with Eve, Mary J. Blige, Mya, Busta Rhymes, etc. I don't understand his decisions in the past few years.
