I'm sure Dre trusts Cube to handle his album on his own and be responsible. These are 2 rap veterans who have been in the game for 15 years now. Dre doesn't have to baby Cube, like he did with Hittman, Truth and Em's first few albums. Look at Eminem, and how fast "The Eminem Show" dropped. Dre only had three tracks, cause he knew EM was responsible to go on and do his own thing.

Dre will let Cube have control, gathering his own producers, and Dre will prolly do between 3 - 5 tracks.

Now you might say this isn't true because of Rakim's situation. When he got signed in late 2000 those two have never worked together. SO they spent a lot of time fucking around getting use to eachother. They prolly didn't start seriously recording for "OH My GOD" until late last year.

Em is handling 50 Cent, Cube will handle himself...and Dre's got Rakim. So y'all can chill and let shit circulate.

33...damn he gettin old...well its not THAT old...
Title: Re: Ice Cube Confirms He Is on Aftermath
Post by: Trauma-san on September 14, 2002, 11:57:59 AM: Getting Old? LOL He's got friekin' 40 years left to record! He's only been out 15 years, he'll be around forever.

The last song he did was "In the Midnight Hour" on his greatest hits cd, and he said something about "Might be my last song" but man it was HARD. He said about 6 months ago, too, that his next album was gonna be political like his first 2 albums, he said people were making pop music again and he wanted to take his time with it and show people how albums should be. Wow. This is great with him on Aftermath... I just hope maybe he can get some of Snoop's producers to help him out, if they're not beefing. Of course, dre's down with Premiere now, so that'll be cool too. Premiere, Mel Man, Dr. Dre, Fredwreck, Eminem.. Cube produces stuff too (he produced some of his own stuff in the past) so I think the album will be great. Then again, I've loved all his albums except Peace, and I liked a couple cuts off that.

Title: Del + Dre = perfection(!)
Post by: HairWuzEre on September 15, 2002, 12:08:00 AM: Holy $#!+, I just realized something: If Ice Cube is on Aftermath now, then he might be able to hook up Del The Funky Homosapien (Ice Cube's cousin) with some Dre tracks (even if they're leftovers)!

Could you imagine Del flowing over Dre beats?!? Damn, I sure hope that Cube hooks up Del (like he has done before). :)
Title: Re: Ice Cube Confirms He Is on Aftermath

True, true. This is the best news i've heard all yr, it's nice to hear some good news for a change :)

From what I've heard, that already happened once in the past, exactly when I'm not sure. I'm guessing it was either in the early NWA days or after Dre & Cube reconciled (mid-Death Row era). Supposedly Cube took Del to the studio to work with Dre, but Dre was frustrated because Del couldn't follow his directions and stick to a topic. I'm sure Dre recognized his talent but they are just on very different wavelengths. From what I understand, they just parted ways and wished each other luck. Again, this is all hearsay.

Dre is extremely versatile but one thing he really can't do is that zany, wacky shit like, say, Prince Paul or Automator, which is what he'd have to do if he worked with Del because Del doesn't change for anybody. The closest Dre has come is the beat for "My Name Is" and "Automobile," but I can't imagine him doing a whole album like that. I don't think Dre will ever give up his darker, menacing, sinister edge again since he reclaimed it with 2001. Just my opinion.

(...I just noticed this reply...)

You mean, they actually got together for a while, but it didn't work out?!? Damn!!! >:(

...Gabe, do you remember where you heard this???

Post by: Wizard Whitebeard on October 21, 2002, 03:59:29 PM: I think someone mentioned it on a message board at SOHH.com a while back. I took it with a grain of salt since I've never heard that story anywhere else. Could be true though.
