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

[African Peasant]

What truth does it reveal about him outside of he bowed out of working with three of the greatest artists of all time? He would have to be a GOAT himself to even be commissioned by the three of them for work. They don't just work with anybody.



According to who? If you had Dre among the greats before seeing this interview and are knocking him down because of what he said, you're an idiot and anything you say about music from this point forward is worthless.



R. Kelly isn't a Hip Hop producer. Show me a classic Hip Hop album helmed or produced by R. Kelly. This is why I said Prince, MJ, and Stevie were outside Dre's comfort zone.

It would be like Nas and Jay Z asking R.Kelly to produce for them and him turning them down because he doesn't do Hip Hop like that. He did a whole album with Jay, granted he didn't produce the whole thing, but those Best of Both World albums are bottom tier for both their careers.

So Dre froze because he's a Hip-Hop producer?

You're agreeing with me then. It replaces his legacy where it belongs. He couldn't go past that.

No, I'm not agreeing with you. Dr. Dre is a GOAT Hip Hop producer, widely considered #1 and one of the best producers overall.

Unable to go beyond his comfort zone and work the the ultimate GOATS.

He fears showed his limitation.

And that takes nothing away from him as a producer.

 

[Da King]

She thang been exposed, especially after that Compton weed plate album he put out

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

nikka didn't want them asking questions about the multiple other nikkas actually making the beat!

I could post more, since ignorant, idiot posters on The Booth actually think bringing in session musicians and having co-producers somehow exposes a producer's lack of talent.

But Dre adds the 'magic touch', you know

So Quincy Jones did nothing on the songs he produced according to you and the peanut gallery.

Quincy can create music on his own.

 

[DontEemTry]

There had to be an element of intimidation. MJ and Prince were true musicians, especially Prince.

Imagine these nikkas lookin over your shoulder while you at the sound board lifting samples. And they tawmbout,..."is...is that what you do? "

Quincy can create music on his own.

Back pedaling. Read the credits on the songs.

This is from 20+ years ago with Dre explaining why he couldn't work with Michael Jackson:

Sound like an excuse according to you.

Is it because he did not want to order MJ around or was it because he's a Hip-Hop producer unable to leave his comfort zone?

Is it Oochie walie walie or One mic?
