Dre was like, “Nah, I’m going to do my shyt. Big, you do whatever you want to do.”

Always felt like Dre underestimated the love hiphop has for him. People didn’t have the expectations he seemed to think they did.

All he had to do is drop a hiphop focused project.

Even if was “average” it woulda been propelled to classic status off word of mouth and respect

Thats not ego. That's recognizing you done with rap and wanting to do something else. Ego is acting like you above everyone else. This dude Dre be at the airport playing African clarinets and shyt.

If you not all the way into something find something else. I respect anyone willing to do that.

TONS. They did a few shows in Atlanta maybe 5 years ago. It was the first time they did any shows in their hometown in over a decade and haven’t done any since.

That was billed as their farewell tour :mjcry:
I was in Japan at the time I think. Pissed because I couldn’t make it

fukk what you want

That MTV unplugged album was something NO ONE wanted. But if she likes it that's all that matters.

In other words: commercial products depend 100% on people wanting them

What consumers want is literally the only consideration when record companies produce records
