Dr. Dre not dropping an album in 95 is criminal. That was his peak

[thaKEAF]

That's originally slated to be one of the singles off Dogg Food but they took it off to give it to Pac, theres a radio version for it with alt clean lyrics in addition to the explicit version.

Dre doesn't have his contributions present on demos so I'm guessing you mean you wish he would swap out drums and mix demos by Daz, Sam Sneed, Stu B Doo, Erotic D etc?

Damn never knew that. Just pulled it up on YouTube. Pac was right..nikkas couldn’t see him over that beat. Energy was crazy.

Production-wise would have been on point, but it would have been a complete 180 from The Chronic, from the sound of the album to the crew he was working with to make it. One of the best decisions Suge ever made was asking Dre to give up California Love for 2pac because this:



Would have had nowhere near the iconic success it had once 2pac was on there.

It could've featured Pac but still on the Dre album.

Death Row was a mismanaged mess.

Dre could have pulled a Holy trinity in Hip Hop, The Chronic, (a 95-96 album), 2001.

Assuming Dre even had an album's worth of material by the time AEOM was being finished. 2pac was a workaholic who was always recording while Dre takes his time with recording.

Nobody asked for that 96 Aftermath compilation stuff

We wanted a 95 DR Dre "solo" album.

When you look at the tracklist to that album now its very... huh, who?

Pretty sure Flexx was on his way until he started seeing he wasn't being paid properly for NBK and Keep their heads ringing. Guess Suge made some promises which kept him around long enough to diss Dre. Funny enough, he did get proper writing credit for "Been There, Done That", which was recorded while Dre was still on Death Row.

I don't really see how this was Dre's peak or that him dropping a hypothetical album in 1995 would be better than either Chronic album. He dropped an album in 1996 with music he possibly created in 1995. Even if we count what he contributed to to AEOM, the best songs went to Pac and "Keep Their Ears Ringin" is the other classic.

1995 was a pretty stacked year and while it would've been interesting to see how a Dre album fit with the sound of that time, there was so much and so many contrasting sounds that it probably would've been as lost in the mix as Aftermath was.

I always forget Nas is on that album

"I grab the mic and flip my tongue like a dyke" was his peak?

I remember hearing Dre was kinda salty b/c he spent all this time writing and crafting his verse, and 'Pac came in, wrote and laid his out in like 30 mins
Idk how true this is, b/c I doubt Dre is even credited with writing his verse

Fairly certain based on the flow it was Sam Sneed that wrote Dre's verses with some input from Flexx.
