For a guy that takes music made by actual musicians and puts a drum beat and a synth over the top, might be a bit much to expect he'll be some kind of technological innovator.


He must be doing something right to be the first billionaire in hip hop.

This.

People not giving Dre the credit he deserves :roll:

The greatest rap/hip hop/rnb producer that has graced this planet ffs!


And where exactly did I say anything against that? All I said that he takes other people's music and puts a drumbeat and synth over the top - Which is exactly what he does. He created G-Funk. By taking p-Punk and putting drumbeats and synths over the top of other peoples music.

I never once said anything negative about his musical ability at all. Yeah, perhaps the greatest hip hop producer in the world of all time. But in musical terms? Don't make me laugh. To consider him a genius on the level of someone like Beethoven is hilarious.

This . To discount dre for not being a real musician is an insult . He has studied music theory and is also a studio engineer


I never did that. I made a factual statement. I also studied music theory and worked as a studio engineer, so I actually know a little about what I'm talking about.

What? Dre is the perfect example of that. It's exactly what he did lol. And it's just stupid to measure everything in money. What, next Beethoven was a shit musician because he died in squalor and alone? Or what, van Gogh is a terrible artist because he shot and killed himself because he was so lonely and depressed?

Pfft, wealth isn't shit to measure anything by. If that were the case, how highly does Britney Spears rank, eh? what a ridiculous dick measuring contest the "greatness by wealth" one is.

EDIT; Oh, and that "the first billionaire in hip hop". Yeah, and? It says absolutely nothing about musical ability. He can market things, which is exactly why this rumour exists.

He didn't create g-funk another producer did dre just got more popular in doing gfunk . Also he also uses real drums in his recordings but you would know that .

How has Dr Dre "done well" lol? He grew up in a middle-upper class black family.

Please don't tell me you actually think he came from the "projects" or something.

Also, Jay Z not already corporate? LEL.
