Dr. Dre Comes Clean About 'Perfectionist' Label: 'I Don't Even Want [Music] To Be Perfect'

[KingsOfKings]

"Dr. Dre has addressed his reputation as notorious “perfectionist” in the studio, admitting that his so-called pursuit of sonic excellence isn’t as it seems.

Talking about the perfectionist label, which some have used to explain his lack of musical output over the years, Dre said: “I guess you call it perfection, but I want things right. And I’ll be honest with you, [perfectionism] is just something I use to waste time — not waste time, to buy time.

“I don’t know if anything can ever be perfect, you know? I don’t even want it to be perfect because human aren’t perfect so the music shouldn’t be.”

Buying time can also mean procrastinating

Wheres the juelz gif

Someone who wants things right,but never thinks its right is a perfectionist. Or is no longer as talented as they used to be if its taking decades to get it right.

So if by "buy time",he means hes waiting for the next Scott Storch,Daz or DJ quik to help him make beats? That I actually buy

Dre has said he's in the studio almost every day. From the early 90's to today, imagine how many classics we've been robbed of hearing.
