Paul's wife died about 3 years ago... Paul asked Dre to contribute a song to a tribute album of beatles cover songs being released to raise money for Breast Cancer charity, which is what killed Linda. Now, I don't know how dre could do it... he could Produce a cover song I guess, but I'm not sure. Dre's a big beatles fan (Eminem and Snoop are too, imagine that), so it should be interesting. That would basically be Pop production though, there's no beats involved, just guitars and drums, so I don't know how Dre would go about producing it.

u know i really hate the beatles...but one thing i like is how people with so simple lyrics...so simple music...crap voices (the truth really) can be as famous as they were....and really respect that fact!! i can't believe someone with dre's ability to suply dope beats can be a fan of shite like that!! but then i guess it really is his choice!

I dislike The Beatles too. I just think their image is too hunky dory and they are too plain as artists. With their heads boppin side to side, holding those guitars the way they doo. They seemed so manufactured, like robots as they played.

Who are the Beatles?
-
^ An English pop group that was popular during the 70's & 80's.

Simple lyrics, excuse my while I throw up. LOL
The beatles, if ya don't know, started out like the Backstreet Boys, and grew into one of the most lyrically talented groups ever, I took a music appreciation class, and they're mentioned alongside Beethoven and Bach. They were that great. McCartney/Lennon is the greatest songwriting team of all time. If you can look at them subjectively, you'll see they were the most talented group easily of the century.
They started out just writing love songs, in 1962. They were good love songs, kinda like Usher, or somebody today. For back then, it was good. NOBODY was making real music, all music was doo-wop, or early rock from the states. Little Richard, Elvis, etc. were king, and Motown was just starting with the supremes, and smokey robinson.
Then, in 1965, John Lennon got the idea to write a song about his life. He started writing real music, as opposed to music designed to make women cream. He wrote "My Life", stll a love song, but all about his thoughts, his feelings. He wrote "Norweigan wood" all about him cheating on his wife. He wrote "Girl", about the same thing. By 1967, every song the beatles were writing was superior to anything else on the radio, you can take one of their throwaway songs, and it'll be better than the best songs on other albums.
They're solely responsible for turning pop music into something more respected, unfortuantely since then we've gone backwards. George Harrison invented the Wah Guitar, which made Hendrix famous. John lennon was the first to talk rythmically in a song, paving the way for rap. Paul McCartney came up with the idea of recording a drum beat, then looping it through the song , adding samples over it, which is hip hop 101. Beatles were pretty much the first to cuss on record... they wre only around about 7 years, and put out 12 or so albums, along with 20 #1 songs, which still hasn't been topped by any group. If you think their lyrics are simple they must be above your head, or you're not familiar with their later work.

Well said Trauma.

They were revolutionary, but I dont' think they were anything special besides starting these trends. Sorry..

Incognito, KVB, infinite59: Your comments are very ignorant...
Infinite59: Just because you haven’t listened to a group doesn’t make them any less impressive and revolutionary.
KVB: Have you ever listened to the Beatles? Or are you just speaking from ignorance? Their Debut record was in 1963.
Incognito: "They were revolutionary, but I don’t' think they were anything special besides starting these trends. Sorry.. "
If you start a revolution, it is not just a "Trend" look closer at what trauma wrote... He dropped some knowledge on all of you.
I wish that before dismissing any other form of music, you all would at least give it a chance. The Beatles defined a generation. Kind of like what rap music is doing today, but they were one group.

I'm sorry, I don't like any of their music.
The only Beatle related track I like is "Imagine."
-
John Lennon had 20 tracks as good or better than imagine, paul probably had 20, and the beatles probably had 50. No lie.

Well, that's your opinion.

Well Incognito, your opinion is wrong! :D

nothing new there... lol.
I dont care, sorry, I just don't. Say what you want, I just don't care. I'm evil, whatever. I'm wrong, i'm cold, whatever.
Some people are flowers, some are still seeds. Nothing wrong with being a seed.

LOL... Beetles were cool. My dad used to like them before getting into Santana and War, chicano music. He told me in '93 that it's alright if I like Snoop Doggy Dogg because in his day the Beetles used to piss off parents. LOL I guess he looked back and saw that his parents didn't like his music, so he didn't judge mine.
-

See, just remember who started this one. You become over-protective on these artists. Calm down, and stop singling me out, what about Infinite & KVB?
-
Sorry man, I just don't like you anymore. I'm sure the feeling's mutual. Some of the stuff you say, and the way you act is just so ignorant compared to what you used to be, that I just gotta say something. Like I said, I dont' care if you think I started it, I don't care if people think I'm an a$$hole about it, It's just 'my opinion' that you're a dick. Sorry. I hope you change for the better, because you had a lot of potential at one time, now you're resorted to bragging about pot. LOL. What a slip.

Then keep that shit to yourself and stop reigniting beef, I told you I was done but you can't shut up about it. You don't know who I am, so you can't say that I'm slipping or that I need to change for the better.

I never noticed this post... lol...
Anyway... how can I be ignorant? Weren't The Beatles popluar during the 70's & 80's? That's what I thought, but I'm obviously wrong, as it was 60's & 70's. Sorry. That doesn't make me ignorant. And yes, I've listened to a lot of their music, and yes, they were revolutionary. I just got the timeline mixed up, alright? Don't diss me because of that.

Heidy-Ho, you're the one who had that smart ass remark about "my opinion". Don't get me started. Your'e right, I don't know you, but every contact you have with me is negative. So if you want to say some stuff back, that's fine, im' just making it public, that I can't stand you. I used to, then you changed, so yes, I can say you've taken a turn for the worse in my mind.

lee, it's called "Sarcastic Humour".
Incognito, it's called "Constructive Criticism".

i like the beatles... "Yesterday" is my song. i like the simplicity of it.
i think in order to appreciate today's music you gotta have a love for the old shit too.
and you know what's funny... if you did a poll or sumpin you'd find that a lot rappers don't even primarily listen to other rap music. that's sumpin i'm beginning to learn. i think i'll always have a 2pac cd in my player first and foremost but other than that... as a rapper listenin to other rappers constantly can fuck your shit up. in a way i'm like snoop with my listening... i put in some Isley Brothers or O'Jays and listen to that a lot or some Alicia Keys... but i'm kinda gettin tired of a lot of the rap that comes out... i mean i'll always stay on top of it and have all the newest shit the day it comes out cause rap is my first love but then i'll prolly just go back to some old shit and focus on my own shit...
but to get back on topic... the beatles are worth respectin and giving a listen to every once in a while
