He runs a record company and is one of the hardest working producers around right now...eminem and 50 cent are both signed to his record along with tons of other artists, and he produces(at least co-produces) everything for all of them


True but how many albums have come out from his camp besides Em, 50, Game, and G-unit, all of which are wack as ****?

I'd be willing to bet Dre has more beats in his catalog than anyone calling him lazy. Have spent and will spend more time in the studio working than anyone calling him lazy. Proven legends get to work at their own pace because they are not slaves to the label. I only commented because I'm a barber and we had this convo recently and a youngsta was calling Dre lazy and even said Camron new cd will be better than DETOX!!!!!!! I should post a picture of me slapping him cross the head with my mpc3000

I dont think DETOX is gunna come out...I read an article where DRE said he was gunna put it out and its almost done, but decided hed rather put his time into his artists and his label then into himself. The man's done enough, he was with NWA back then, and hes still at the top now, hes obviously doing something right...and though you say em, 50, game etc are all wack, theyre all multi platinum so the people buying the records dont think so...and isnt it all about pleasing people? not just the fans that know whats good, but all people?

Dre is in the studio all the time, making beats trying to change and evolve hiphop for the better, so i give him props, and I would never call him lazy...

and word to deegood!

yeah but 50 cents and all of them went platinum as a result of great marketing... not great quality. throw some catchy beats with easy sing-a-long hooks.... buy a couple of the "top 10" slots on all the pop radio stations... advertise the release dates on tv.. have some rapper controversy sh!t on the news and entertainment tonight type shows...... next thing you know people buy your album because you are the only new rapper they heard of.

You guys got to watch this..very interesting even if you know most of it..I love the part where the dude shows how Auto Tune corrects the girls voice lol

Any way more pics lol


great now I have to watch this for 67 minutes :lol: no but really, thanks for posting...

and yea, marketing plays a role in 50 cents success, but people love that shit, people who know what real music is...I dont know how old you guys are or who you hang around with but I'm the marketed age group and I hang around with the average joes, and they actually do like that stuff, they chose to listen to it, even though they like other "good" music too
