Dr. Dre Rejected Working With Michael Jackson, Prince, Stevie Wonder Outta Fear

Michael Jackson and Prince are two names almost guaranteed to be on every artist's collab wishlist ... but not Dr. Dre's!



The hip hop giant says he turned down both late music legends to work in the studio ... because they were just too established. He also admitted to leaving Stevie Wonder in the studio hanging after personally being asked to go half on a track. What's the big deal, Dre?!!?



The music mogul made the puzzling revelations to Kevin Hart on the new season of his "Hart to Hart" podcast and admitted shaping a new artist's career — as we saw with Snoop Dogg and Eminem — is much easier for him than helping a living legend find their sound.









It's hard to imagine one of the greatest producers ever to be intimidated, but Dre says he grew up with the likes of MJ, Prince and Stevie ... and he'd rather just listen from afar.

[⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐]

Prince would’ve been asked about his experience working with Dr. Dre

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

Q-Tip worked with Stevie and Prince no questions asked

When you are a fraud going into the studio with lions who know the work you would get exposed quickly.
All that spending 2 months recording 2 words would get him laughed at and his name destroyed.

 

[Harry B]

This man allegedly takes 2 years for 50 cent beats what’s he gonna do with those guys

 

[⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐]

He just didn’t want to work with anyone that is going to infringe upon his studio generalship


You try telling Michael Jackson his take wasn’t good enough and needs another 90 attempts. He would’ve moonwalked on your ass like

They told him to come alone to the studio and his ghost producers couldn’t fit in the suitcase.

 

[Complexion]

The Coli is ruthless. Word to E.

 

[BK The Great]

Dre would take too long to record something. Those guys are way above him as far as talent is concerned

Forgot about that, just the other day there was some shyt about xzibit (?) re-recording some line 500 times.

Prince and MJ would give Suge their location for that type of shyt

I like and respect Dre, but him turning down an opportunity to work with his “heroes” seems very suspicious. What’s the worst that can happen? They don’t like the song, so it doesn’t get released? It’s not like he’s a stranger to that scenario.
