There is no beef.


Big was tight about the no touring thing, they've both spoken on that situation as far back AS Speakerboxxx/Love Below's release.

Dre doesn't like performing the same songs over and over. Remember the MTV awards when he shouted out "And Now for the MILLIONTH time!! HEY YA GODDAMNIT!"


Alot of artists go through that, especially the creative ones who are always striving to create something new and push themselves in different avenues.


There is No true beef however

I don't understand why Andre doesn't want to record or tour with him any longer. I remember Big Boi was saying they could have gotten a million dollars per show but Dre wouldn't do it.
No beef just 2 people who are.on opposite pages :manny:

Yall act like you love the exact same way you did 20 years ago now. People change and grow... Andre apologised plenty but he has said he doesn't like performing and it was clear that he was the weaker link on stage @ the reunion tour.

Hey.

You are a performing artist..

Its for the fans.

You make hit songs...then you get tired of performing them..

What if YOUR fans got tired of hearing YOU as a artist....period...

Then you'd be complaining about nobody wants to hear your works of art...

I don't think they don't have beef; there probably just tired of people knowing them for hey ya and roses. I remember when I saw there performance at cochlea; that looked like they did not want to be there, they were playing some og bangers but the crowd was dead, until they played hey ya.

Then there last song 'when the whole world' was cut short, killer mike was going to kill that shyt and they cut the lights off when he was about to go in.

Yep. Thank you. Dre is a pretentious, weird prick. What other prominent hip hop artist is on record saying they don't want to perform the same songs at each show they do and acts like he's embarrassed to be an active older artist in the genre that made him and his family rich. They may not have a public beef anymore but I wouldn't be surprised if Big Boi still looks at this dude like he's a clown fvcking up his money.

Billy Ocean, I got mad respect for you cuz we usually see eye to eye, especially when it come to the WU but you actin like Dre should think like you do. Dre been made it known he don't give a fukk about money, dude ascribes value to much more important things in life. He probably never really made music for the money and the fame, he made it cuz he is creative, he wanted to express himself, be challenged, and speak his mind to people. Thus he would only want to preform if it provided him with such things he values, he says performing the same shyt that he made when he was in his 20s, in a totally different frame of mind doesn't inspire him or provide really any value to his life and I believe him. He didn't ask people to buy his music or tickets to his shows, he simply created it and other people liked it.

He could have created paintings or sculptures and made money off it while getting the aforementioned valuable experiences, that doesn't mean he should go in front of people and create the same piece of art over and over again. Or let's say he made art and never got paid but experienced such feelings or experiences more than he ever did making music I am sure he would prefer that over what he got from music, money included.
