Without a Dr. Dre affiliate who would be a big star today?

[avon barksdale]

Ice cube is my answer but between..

Snoop dogg
Eminem
50 cent
Kendrick Lamar


Who could've been a star without Dre?

 

[BBG]

c00n dogg for sure was gonna pop regardless

 

[Peter Parker]

You named all the Dre stars but one lol

Anyways, I think Game in the era that he came up in would've been just as good, no Dre on Doctors Advocate and that was his best shyt with his biggest hit I think in One Blood

Kendrick and 50 cent, since they already had a buzz without him.

Snoop and Em needed Dre for different reasons to push them to the front. I felt they both would have been popular in their own right, but certainly not as popular without that Dre production and cosign.

Kendrick Lamar because he benefited the least. None of his albums really had Dre production.

Without Dre, how are we even introduced to Snoop. There's no Doggystyle.

50 Cent doesn't have an "In Da Club". Without the Dre co-sign and Eminem affiliation, he isn't having GRODT level success.

Eminem wouldn't have the credibility and more than likely be Rawkus level.

Kendrick and 50 were already making a name for themselves without Dre.

Kendrick with 50 in 2nd

Honestly out of all of them perhaps Ice Cube might be the one who didn't make it without Dre.

Snoop dogg - He was destined for superstardom one of the most unique flows ever and personalities.
Eminem - Ditto.
50 cent - He was already major in hiphop and there was a bidding war for his contract so 50 didnt need Dre/interscope at all it was just the best decision.
Kendrick Lamar - Dre doesn't even support this young man. I think I heard K Dot dissed him about it too. K Dot is super successful without Dre.

Without Dre being a musical genius who spearheaded NWA, how many chances would have Ice Cube got? It takes opportunity to present the talent.

Snoop,Em,50 those three for sure would definitely get the opportunity to blow without Dre.

Snoop would have made it. 50 if someone would have been brave enough to sign him would absolutely make it. Eminem would have made it. Kendrick I really don't know enough to speak on.

Thread needs a retitled 'Without Universal/Interscope's huge machine and roll out'.

As others said 50 and Kendrick would have been able to manufacture mid level success of a Jadakiss for example.

 

[KillKenny]

I think NWA could've been a thing without Dre
Snoop is a born star, but without g funk I'm not sure how that would play out
Em really needed the Dre co sign but I think without it Interscope would just find a proper alternative co sign+production

50 and Kendrick created a movement pretty much regardless

game? lol no. Doc's Advocate happened because of Dre...no dre period, and we don't get the same DA we got.

We already know what a Dre-less Game sounded like...check those JT the Bigga Figga tracks

What did Dr Dre do for kendrick lamar exactly?

I know theres this loose association but i always took that as branding

Dre and Dot was more mutually beneficial than the other 3
