Dr. Dre Rejected Working With Michael Jackson, Prince, Stevie Wonder Outta Fear
- Thread starter LevelUp
- Start date
ThisCant come to the studio with pre created beats and trying to shoehorn mike or prince into them. You gotta create that beat and melody from scratch off of the brainstorming session
Sounds like he didnt wanna be put on the spot....i wonder why
. Imagine you being hyped up for decades just for your childhood idols to deem you unworthy of working with them
. That's some shyt that would make a hardened thug's chest burn
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
imagine walking into a studio with a dude like prince, he can play like 10 instruments and composes his own music while your best hits are samples

I get why he didn't want to work with him. Anyone who's ever produced would get it.
Dre has said forever that he likes to take untapped talent and built it up. His gift is in being able to build a foundation for new artists. Which is why he said he only likes working on an artist's first album, to get them started. There's two different kinds of producers. One will work with whomever just to be a part of a legend's legacy and catalogue.
And others who feel like these people are too legendary to touch and you don’t want to misdirect their vibe. Plenty of other producers have said the same. It's normal to not want to f*ck around with your heroes' catalogue, by adding your little two cents. That's mad respect.

he wants to be in control, nothing wrong with that.
Why does that seem suspicious? It's a lot of producers that have turned down working with people that they looke up to. It's HUMAN. Imagine working with someone you looked up to and you're the type of person that has this perfectionist mentality. I think Dre is on record saying "Billie Jean" is the best beat he's ever heard. You're making tracks and in your mind, it doesn't compare to "Billie Jean". You're working with Michael Jackson, but you don't like the pronounciation on a certain word. Are you going to spend two days on a song over one word when you're working with MICHAEL JACKSON.?

Truth.
A lot of legendary producers would prefer not to work with their heroes. If someone has this crazy catalogue that you look up to, it's mad understandable that you might not want to mess with what you admire so much.

That's a producer's job though.
So if an artist brings him in, they should expect for him to do the driving and work the songs through his direction.

Dre is the one who turned them down.

Love is a long road.
Dre is bullshytting. He low key didn’t want to get exposed for not having any actual musical talent like Prince and MJ and Stevie Wonder which is why he declined to do a collab with them
If he actually accepted and they thought he was trash
.
Word I get itI ain't even mad at him.
