Joe Beast put out like 5 songs around 2020 - 2021. Ab-Liva works with Pusha T. As far as Mel-Man, no one knows. Heard he retires and now lives in the north part of his home town.

These comments. Are you telling me Mel-Man chose a life of not producing for more artists and just living off of royalties? How does Dre look "right"? Do you mean by not working with Mel-Man anymore? How?

Yes i am telling Mel-Man chose a life of not producing for more artists, not even producing for himself and just living off of royalties.

This means he has no hunger for music. He did nothing at all since he left aftermath, in that era he was very famous producer, if he had hunger and passion for his job he would keep doing it.

Dre always works with talented guys who has hunger and passion. So it seems like he has right to seperate his ways with mel-man.

Am i wrong?

Does anyone remember when Big Chuck said Neff-U, Mel-Man, and Stat Quo were leaving Aftermath in 2002 because of stolen production credits? I think he blackballed Chuck  and Mel.

Do you mean Mel-Man is in blacklist for whole music industry?

What keeps him from making instrumental albums or solo albums?

Yes.

He can still work with independent artists or make his own solo projects. But he doesnt.
