[Krazy]

imagine if all them alpha male type cats coulda learned to stay together...that reign could still be unstoppable


but workin under 50 is tough cause he got psychopathic tendencies lol


and game aint a punk they got into a scuffle not long before fif booted him

I heard 50 even refused to sit in the front of the lowrider in the video hence why big fase is there instead. 50 was moving like a how tbh

Songs cool but the video could've been better than green screen. Should've been shot at a location.

Dre (of Cool & Dre): “We were passing out CDs heavy back in the day. One of the CDs that we passed out with that beat got into Sha Money XL's hands. That song ended up being the record that really put Cool & Dre on the map. We didn't know Game [at the time], but what's crazy is that our attorney knew a lot of his people. We met him in Miami when he came down here. I can't really pin-point the actual day we met him, but it was shortly after the record was hitting. From there on we got a super close relationship and now we're super cool.

“[We made the beat] in Cool's mother’s garage. This was back in the day man. Funny story, after the record blew we did a meeting with Jimmy Iovine—we were gonna do a deal with an artist there—and he asked us about “Hate It or Love It.” He was just like, 'That record is amazing. Do you have the original beat before Dr. Dre touched it?' We were like, ‘Yeah, we got it on the laptop.’ He was like, 'I always wanna hear what stuff sounds like before Dre puts the magic to it.’ So we pressed play and I'll never forget his face....he was like, 'Yo it's the same damn beat. Send me the original version.’ We were like, ‘This is the original version!’

“But Dre had put the most amazing mix on it. Like his mixes are so fukking phenomenal. Trust me there was a difference sonically, but as for the record itself the music was the same. But Dre brought it to life. [As a mixer is] what I think is his greatest quality. His sound placement and how his shyt comes out sonically. That's why they're his headphones. His ear for instrument placement is amazing. A Dr. Dre mix is a co-production in our mind because he just kinda brings shyt out that was not there and that's what he did. And, if I'm not mistaken at the end of the hook he added a string going into the verse.”

Mike Lynn (A&R for Aftermath): “‘Hate It Or Love It’ was for 50. 50 called me when he did ‘Hate It Or Love It’ like, ‘I’m thinking about keeping it for myself and G-Unit, but I might give it to Game.’ He played it for me over the phone and I’m like, ‘We gotta have that!’ I knew it had a chance to be a single, but Dre wasn’t 100 percent sure because of the tempo. But when we tested it, it came back and people were definitely into it.

“Dr. Dre completely reproduced that track. He had it replayed. He never took credit for it, he still let them get producer credit, that’s how he is. It’s funny to me when people say, ‘Dre took my beat’ and this and that. It’s like, Come on man all that shyt is bullshyt. I seen so many producers eating out there because their material sounded professional, but in the beginning of their career their music wasn’t nowhere near professional. Dre made it sound professional. Every record on that album Dr. Dre touched. Everything. ‘Hate It Or Love It’ sounded like a sample, Dre made it sound like a record. Dre cleaned it up [on the] musical side. He had the baseline played so it actually sounded professional. He made those records. If they play you their version and his version, they’re night and day. He had to [get co-producer credit], he did all the work. [Laughs.]”

^^^just proves how valuable dre is to "producing" a record and the fact that 50 gave game a few hit records that he coulda kept for himself just because

i've been listening to old game and 50 cent as well. 50's delivery sounded so effortless and dope back then. now it's almost like he's trying to force something. and he had a way of coming up with lines and just make them catchy parts of the song,

"go shorty, it's your birthday"

"daaamn homie....in high school you was the MAN homie..."

 

[Professor Polo]

Gaaaame >>>

 

[Danie84]

Hated Fif around the time, cuz he was always talking about his soundscan numbers, but when I' heard him say:

Confusion occurs comin up in the cold world
Daddy ain't around probably out commitin felonies
My favorite rapper used to sing ch-check out my melody

 

[Turbulent]

50's flow back then...
