Posts about Dr. Dre

Rakim reflects on his days signed to Dr. Dre’s Aftermath.

Well looky looky, Game back with Dr. Dre? Now he doesn’t have to pretend…. Oh wait… But then he shouts out Cool & Dre too… So hmmm… Who produced the song? I know! We’ll see what Game says on his twitter page, nothing like getting the info straight from the man to clear things up… But wait… Seems that he is confused too? Check this out, and then this. So who knows? But this is the single from his R.E.D. album, produced by either Dr. Dre or Cool & Dre.

Dr. Dre speaks NFL and NBA, and oh yeah, says Detox is coming. Riiiiight.

50 Cent talks about The Game, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre.

Game used to work at his mothers strip joint? Wow.

Here is the full episode of VH1 Behind The Music chronicling 50 Cent’s life and rise to fame, including how he signed to Eminem and Dr. Dre with comments by Shady himself.

The good Doctor wants Hov on Detox. Detox? What’s that?

Not a huge Dr. Dre sighting, but then again any Dr. Dre sighting is so rare it’s kind of huge right? Dre launched the Beats By Dre headphones last year and has now teamed up with Lady Gaga for a female line called HeartBeats, because according to Jimmy Iovine Beats By Dre messed up girl’s hair too much.

At this point I don’t think Detox is ever coming…

This is a full half hour long Dr. Dre interview from 1997 with Dr. Dre talking about West Coast Hip-Hop and his own ground breaking albums as well as the East/West beef and music business. The interview is followed by all of Dre’s classic Death Row era video clips.

50 Cent has continuously pushed his fourth studio album Before I Self Destruct back numerous times over the last year. The album is now slated to hit stores on November 17th.

Fif has revealed production from Scott Storch, Dr. Dre, Ty Fyffe and Sha Money XL, Havoc from Mobb Deep, Jake One, Eminem and much more.

Guest appearances from Nate Dogg, Eminem, Dr. Dre and Swizz Beats.

Everyone wanted to know if 50 Cent was trying to diss Jay-Z on his new mixtape track “Flight 187.” The G-Unit mastermind recently spoke to MTV and said there’s no beef, just observation.

“It was the glasses,” 50 explained about why he compared Hov to sitcom character Steve Urkel. “They saw the glasses. I didn’t Photoshop glasses on him. I think Jay is really conscious of his actual moves. He does those things to make a statement in different ways to create clarity that he doesn’t have to be the way people want him to be. He can do what he wants. But I wrote the song out of the perspective of me mentioning things I thought were interesting.”

Fif also noted that he mentioned Britney Spears and even members of his own musical family on the song, but everyone gravitated toward the Hov line because Blueprint 3 has a huge buzz.

“I even wrote, ‘Eminem made me a star and Dre is taking a long time to mix my records. I gotta talk to Jimmy Iovine about it.’ I wrote about Britney Spears. I said a lot of interesting things on the record, but they focus on Jay because his album is releasing.”

New single and video from Aftermath artist Bishop Lamont. Apart from the obvious, the other downside for Detox being delayed so much, is Bishop can’t get an album released until Dr. Dre drops his.

Raekwon talks about the production on one of this year’s most anticipated album, dropping September 8th.

The Game reflects on his departure from G-Unit, apologizes to 50 Cent and the crew, and says everyone would have made more money together if he had stayed.

Now, four albums in, I can say as a man that G-Unit, Game, Aftermath, Black Wall Street, Interscope, Geffen, Eminem, Shady, from [Lloyd] Banks to [Young] Buck to [Tony] Yayo to Dre to whoever; If it woulda kept going: endless paper. Millions of albums sold. Because we were great together.

Me and Fif’s chemistry is what Method Man was to Redman when they get in. Red ain’t from Wu-Tang but you know when Meth gets wit’ Redman it’s goin’ down… [Me and 50’s] biggest records were together. Whether I was on them or I wasn’t on them. Whether he was on them or he wasn’t on them. When we were in gellin’ writing together as a family, we had it man. If we never would have [broken] up, I think Detox would have been out and we all would have been selling millions from Banks to Buck, and Tony Yayo. I’m going to apologize for my role.

After buying out the company and it’s catalog, WIDEawake Entertainment has announced they will release a new album from 2Pac featuring previously unreleased songs as well as rerelease Dr. Dre’s The Chronic under the name The Chronic Re-lit with 4 unreleased songs and a bonus DVD.

The as yet untitled 2Pac album will be released June 2010 in time for ‘Pac’s next birthday, while The Chronic Re-lit will be out this September. The bonus DVD for Chronic Re-lit will apparently feature behind the scenes footage and video clips from the album.

Here it is finally, the full version of Eminem’s film clip for “Crack A Bottle” featuring 50 Cent and Dr. Dre.

Weird video. Weird shit. Weird how none of them are actually in the video clip.
