Dr. Dre has been one of the most influential people involved with rap music....ever! Every time he comes out, he sends everybody, rap music or otherwise, back to the studio and back to square one. This cat has changed the direction of music and done it more than once. That's undeniable man.

So what would rap be like if Dr. Dre never happened? I don't even want to think about it.

Maybe everybody would be on Cold187um or DJ Quik's Dick cause that G-Funk sound was a Part of Cali Rap with or without Dre ( Let's face it yall: The Sound that made Dre Famous was originated by Parliament and Zapp) and QuiK or Hutch would probably have blown Cali gangsta Rap up the same,resulting in everybody from every region jumpin on the Gansta/Thug/Funk Bandwagon

Who knows tho

None of NWA's or Eazy E's albums sounded Parliament or Zapp-like to me and that's what made him famous.

Its too bad there's so many motherfuckers out there making money off of an image they do not live out. I think artists should change when they become successfull, keep progressing to new topics and new "images"

Even guys like dre.. They are portraying an OLD image they USED to have. not who they are now.
It's called entertainment. That's what rap is. I mean, comon now, be realistic. Probably more than half of rappers today and in the past don't live out the images they portray in their rap lyrics.

Just MY OPINION...

eMDe why would Dre be "gay" cause he asked his wife about sayin "hoe" on a record? Just cause he's got respect for his wife? I mean, I just don't get how that makes him homosexual
Lmfao, Dre is a studio gangster along with Eminem. And if hes with eminem theres a good chance he having an affair on his wife :dead:

Dr.Dre is Gay for wearing Lipstick. Dr. Dre is tight besides his personal life, Dr. Dre is no Gangsta but can make Gangsta Beats. Dr. Dre is the best in the West. He is untouchable. I sometimes hope he would just produce and stop acting like some gangsta. Dr.Dre is still strong until today.

Would D.J. Quik have the same sound he has without Dr. Dre? Would Above the Law have blown up if Dre wasn't around? Dre's beats don't amaze me, but his shit appeals to people and he can put anyone on the map (gangster rapper or not.) I'm sure some producers would still sound the same because Dr. Dre hasn't influenced every living producer.


(What truly amazes me, though, is how comfortable some people are with another man [or themselves] disrespecting their sister, mother, grandmother, and/or partner by referring to women as "bitches" and "hoes." I know it's just a word, but it's derogatory and disrespectful.)

There has been some talk about Cold 187um Production-Style and Concepts on the "Black Mafia Life Album", strongly influencing Dre's Chronic so I tend to question how creative and original he is.

the Doctor always had some "Nurses" with him to help out

1.Dre and Yella /Dj Glove
2.Dre , Warren G, Sam Sneed and Daz(?)
3.Now it's Dre ,Mel man and Scott Storch and whoever the Fuck else that we dont know that might get paid to keep Dre's Name on Top

He is unquestionably the most popular Rap producer and has been behind the Best-selling Rap Albums ever put out (even to this day with 50 Cent)

I wonder if his Rep as a Producer lives up to his actual musical talent though

He ain't my favorite anyway so call my opinion biased or whatever

Plus the style he made so popular laid the blueprint for a whole lotta ignorance and fakeness in new-school rap music

You folks are correct.. It is an ENTERTAINMENT industry to most.

Personally i support music as an ART form, not as an industry of business.

MARK7 - I said that because i feel strongly that someone's music should represent his personal opinions. There's is NOTHING wrong with respecting your wife, or even asking her opinions ect. But when you are playing out an ACT in your music, a fake facade for economic gain your music is no longer an expression of yourslef.

is music an ENTERTAINMENT industry?
Yes.
Am i happy with the fact that rich businessmen are making money off of music consumers?
No.

I don't knock their hussle, Dre and them are very good at what they do. But at what point do you want something more than average bullshit?
