kerrideth:
(.) where were you born/raised?
I'm gonna be straight up with you. I'm, not trying to hate, but they are just ridiculous. 95% of the questions you posted are worthless. You proboly wouldn't even get past the first 10 questions because he will cut your ass off. There is no way you will get enough time with him.
80% of the questions that were half decent have already been asked and answered.
Some of those questions are ridiculous, he would notice that and not take you seriously the rest of the interview.
like these:
(.) are there a lot of aftermath office parties that you are
involved in
NO ONE CARES ABOUT THIS.
(.) when did you first hear about arabian prince, have you ever
met him, any favorite tracks by arabian?
OF COURSE HE MET HIM! WTF
(.) what happened to lawlay, what was his job in the nwa, what
does he do now?
HIS NAME IS LAYLAW.
(.) is it true that you attended the 2002 world series game 7 in
Anaheim?
WHY WOULD YOU ASK THIS? YOU'RE GOING TO ASK HIM THIS INSTEAD OF QUESTION ABOUT HIS MUSIC. THIS IS YOUR ONE CHANCE TO TALK TO DR DRE AND YOU WANT TO ASK HIM IF HE WENT TO THE WORLD SERIES????????

I tend to agree.. Try to weed out the questions that could be viewed as filler.. and the interview should come out diizznope! There are some dope questions.. no doubt. But the ones he pointed out are kinda booty.. IMO. Pz.
Ax
-
Ask him about NWA and why he chose snoop to replace eazy-e and why he hasn't placed the DOC in snoop's place instead. I understand he has a messed up voice but he can still write some helluva songs.
-

The NWA project is dead, done. Not gonna happen.
-
yea man, i agree with the hustler. i know its hard as hell to come up with some good ones. but go read the doc interiews at the formula. that should help you focus on some better questions. cause they conduct the best interviews. cause if you get the chance to talk to the doc u need some interesting stuff. not the world series lol
-
Ask the fool why he didn't attempt to gain some Eazy tracks for a last NWA song or EP? Eazy wanted that shiit to happen and Dre could have made it happen.
-
Ask him about Daz's claims that Daz produced some of the tracks on Chronic & Doggystyle, that Dre came in switched it up a little bit & then put his name on the credits
-
Ask him - WHos better Quik or Dre? ???
-
The first list of questions F@#KING sucked ....they look like a five yr old came up with them...and any true fan and follower of Dr. Dre would know the answers to 50% of those questions!!!!!.....Just start over fresh and come up with some real questions concerning shit that people really want to know.

Then answer them...
-
One question i think you should ask him is what are his thoughts on people who say that He has ghost producers doing all the work and he takes all the credit.
Also will there be an Up In Smoke 2 and this time will it tour Europe (Mainly UK)
Fuck all that what happened when you rammed mexicans shit we wanna know about what is hapenning with Ra & 50
-
Is the tha D.O.C gonna be on Detox at all? and if not, why the fuck not?
-
take most of them questions out cut it down at the most you wanna have about 20 or 30. and on the the 1st q i think u want were not where.
is the person ur talkin to called kerrideth Pecker??
-
Dre's manager's name is actually Kirdis Tucker, not Kerrideth Pecker (check the Up In Smoke DVD, she's on there giving an interview). You should make sure you get her name right if you're going to interview her and use her as a means to get to Dre. She is pretty cool, I've spoken with her before, but you're right, you do have to get to the point or she will not listen to you for long. Revise your questions and have someone proof read them. If you have all kinds of spelling and punctuation errors that is just as bad as asking dumb questions.
Anyway, I want you to ask Dre what kind of equipment he would recommend for an up-and-coming producer and what he will do if this Aftermath/Murder Inc./Death Row thing escalates. I know Dre's policy on the Suge beef but if Ja Rule is getting involved and making it a public feud (as it seems he is), is Dre going to make Eminem bite his tongue? Also, ask him if he could release a limited edition promo cd of all the best leftovers for his true fans. Either that or just leak them onto the net; most of them are already there but the quality sucks. My proposed tracklisting is below (fuck you guys, I'll never give up on this):
The Ho Hopper - Dr. Dre feat. Snoop
Rat-a-tat-tat (Original Version) - Dr. Dre
Doggystyle - Snoop feat. George Clinton
The Next Episode (Original Version) - Snoop
California Love (Original Version) - Dr. Dre feat. Ice Cube
Blunt Time (Original Version) - Dr. Dre feat. 2Pac
Everyday Thing - Dr. Dre feat. Nas, Nature & Drauma
In Da Mornin' - Dr. Dre feat. Nature
Zoom (Original Version) - Dr. Dre feat. Snoop
What's the Difference (Original) - Dr. Dre feat. Hittman & Em
The Throne Is Mine - Dr. Dre feat. Royce da 5'9"
Stay In Yo' Place - Dr. Dre feat. Royce da 5'9"
Xxplosive (Original Version) - Dr. Dre feat. Royce da 5'9''
Doggz For Life - Dr. Dre feat. Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, & RBX
Fuck You Too - Dr. Dre feat. Truth Hurts
Last Dayz (At Your Service) - Hittman
Do It - Sticky Fingaz
Fuck Bin Laden - Dr. Dre
-The Unreleased tracks he did with Busta Rhymes during the Genesis Sessions
-Any instrumentals that have never been released on any format.
-I also think he needs to buy the rights to The C.I.A. EP and reissue it on CD.
That is all.
-
This unrealesed track thing sounds like a good idea...
and in regards to the NWA/Doc question, i read the interview (theformula.com) and i don't remember the doc nor dre saying that it (NWA reunion) wasn't gonna happen...that's why i asked the question... because i read that interview and wondered why dre won't put DOC on.
-
Those questions you posted were mostly shit, man! Come on! Get yo shit together if u gonna interview Dre! Don't ask none of that where-you-grew-up what-high-school-did-you-go-to bullshit. (It was said in some MTV documentary about Dre that he only went to high school for a few days, then decided it's not the place for him 'n dropped out.) Ask about recent events, 'bout Rakim's, Cube's & 50 Cent's albums and what else is cracka-lackin' in the Aftermath camp. Ask about Detox, what's crackin' with Warren G & rest of the homies, what kinds of projects he's got goin' on on the east coast (e.g. with Busta (if any)), what's crackin' on tha west coast and what he's gonna do to make this shit we call hip-hop better now that it's not the way it used to be.
-
this some funny shit lmao
first off eryone knows where dre grew up and shit
and there wasnt no gangsta rap before he got in the game
so how the fuck could he lsten to gangsta rap before aftermath you a dumb fuck dre was in deathrow and ruthless before he was aftermath and why would dre
work with worthless back pack rappers i bet he could care less bout those sucka's
Ask some heat questions shit
-
Yo... he's workin with Self Scientific? Rakim? Dre will be a Muslim in no time. LOL
Yea, and Eminem will become gay cuz he worked with Elton John...Don't get your hopes up homie...
-
word @ trizz and others.....loose that where did u grew up (COMPTON) and highschool shiit.. try to ask question that people are really interested in :)
and gabe .. yea those tracks in cd quality would be offff the hoook.. i think somebody should ask something about that (if he would be able to release them etc.)
