Dubcnn: It's crazy you say that though. A lot of people been saying that for a long time.
Nah, but when I say that, it's not disrespect, because them nikkas will bring a track that sounds cool, but when he's finished with it, that muthafukka is immaculate. Like for example if you were to hear the Stevie Wonder song that Busta Rhymes brought to Dre before Dre touched it, you would think it's two different songs.
Dubcnn: But he still should get some production credit though.
But, at the same time, Dre didn't take that from Sha Money. And when he was doing that for nikkas back in the days, they didn't deserve to have their name in the game like that, because he did all of the work! So what you found a sample and you got a cool little drum file, but he brought the shyt to life, so he really produced the track! Producing is bringing the track to life! Beatmakers make beats. A lot of nikkas make beats. He produces tracks. So that ain't disrespect what I'm saying. I'm just telling you what's real.
I seen him make tracks from scratch. My whole record the nikka made damn near everything from scratch. "Ain't No Fun", Daz and Warren G brought him the little *sings melody*, that's all they had! Dre took that muthafukka to the next level! Warren G brought in the Donny Hathaway, "Little Ghetto Boy, laying in the ghetto streets." Dre flipped it like "Hold on, gimme that!" Took that muthafukka and made it straight hit!
Dubcnn: So you're saying it's wrong that Daz or Warren G would claim that they didn't get the credit they deserved on The Chronic or Doggystyle?
I'ma say it like this: they didn't deserve the credit back then because they didn't do the work. They made beats, Dre produced that record. Point blank, and I'd say it in they face. They made beats, cuzz produced the record. If you a real nikka in the rap game, you'll understand what I'm saying. I can make a beat, but I can't produce! I can make a beat, but can I tell a nikka what to rap about, can I tell him when to come with the hook? Can you break the beat down? That's what producing is.
Dubcnn: Right, but if I brought in the beat, I would still want my name somewhere.
But, if you brought in the beat, that's all you did, was brought in the beat. You didn't produce this record. This song says "Produced by" not "brought in the beat by". Keep it real! So that's what nikkas got wrong, and they started pointing fingers and try to bad mouth him, when in actuality Dre doesn't need ya'll, ya'll needed him! Because this shyt ya'll learned from him, that made ya'll better producers. He didn't learn shyt from ya'll! See that's what nikkas don't understand! Before The Chronic, how many hit records did Dre have before that? Everything he made was a hit record right?
Dubcnn: Right.
How many hits did Warren G make, how many hits did Daz make? None. None. Okay now, look at the tracks that they produced on The Chronic. Did they have any records like that by theyselves? No. You answer the question for me!
Dubcnn: Maybe on Dogg Food?
Come on man! Dogg Food was produced by Soopafly, Daz and Dr. Dre!
Dubcnn: Dre mixed it right?
No, Dre produced a lot of that shyt! I'm telling you, Daz and them brought Dre beats, and he produced the muthafukkas! "What Would You Do" was just a beat that Daz had did. That "bu-bump, bu-bump", the nikka Dre put all that shyt on it, that *sings* What would you do, whaa *sings* just to give it that other shyt! I'm telling you what I know man! nikkas gotta give Dre the ultimate respect. nikkas try to bash him and cut his knees down like he didn't do nothing nikka, he's the saviour man! Because what he did was, he showed nikkas how to produce. Because nikkas was good at making beats, but he showed you nikkas how to produce! If ya'll had really did what ya'll say ya'll did, ya'll woulda put records out that sold 3-4 million on your own, like he did. I still have to see it!
All the records that they put out solo wise, GARBAGE. Warren G's last record, HOT TO DEATH. The records in between, I don't know. And these are my homeboys, I don't lie to you, I tell it like it is!
Dubcnn: You don't like the Retaliation, Revenge & Get Back?
He was dissing me!
Dubcnn: I know, but it was still a good record!
I don't give a fukk! I don't like records with nikkas dissing me! What I look like man? I didn't smash him though. I had a record I did with Mack 10 that woulda shut is whole career down. I told him and I let him hear the record, I told him "nikka, I'm gonna let you get away with this cause you're my little cousin, and you rolling with Suge. I'ma let you get away with it." But in actuality I shoulda smashed his ass and kicked him out of the game, but that ain't the type of nikka I am! I love Daz and I know he was brainwashed! That would've been Suge's goal, to make two nikkas lose for the price of one. So that's why I say I never really listen to that record cause I know the nikka was dissing. But it didn't sell no units!
Dubcnn: It went gold..
It didn't go gold. They bought 300,000 copies of that record. See you didn't know that though.
Dubcnn: Nah I didn't know that. That's some crazy shyt.
I keep my ears to the streets man. I'm glad you're hollering at me though, my nikka! Cause I feel like ya'll nikkas is like the connect to what we do. I'm thankful for ya'll, because if it wasn't for ya'll it wouldn't be nobody really representing this West shyt and giving both perspectives. A lot of internet companies just want to promote violence and keep nikkas at it.
But ya'll giving up both sides, like "Yeah I will fukk a nikka up, but I'm not trying to fukk a nikka up." As opposed to just printing "Yeah Snoop said he gone fukk all of ya'll up!" Like even the Spider Loc shyt, the way I said it, it sounds like it's confrontational but it's not! It's just like nikka you need to wake up and get on some cool shyt, instead of trying to disrespect the game. The game gotta be on some positive shyt! I don't like Suge, he doesn't like me, but when I see him in the club, I don't fukk with him, he don't fukk with me! We just go our separate ways, it should be like that man. It shouldn't be "I'ma make a record about you" cause now my homeboys is looking at you like "We gotta do something to you." And the homies ain't got careers. The homies ain't got a B.E.T. interview to do tomorrow. So they ain't got nothing to lose. So why put them in a position where they gonna risk losing everything? Where you gone risk losing everything.
Before you even get in the game! Nobody even knows you Spider, all we hearing about you is negative shyt! Get a hit record out there! I heard him on the video game, the Madden song, that's a cool little song, that "Don't Make Me Angry", I heard him on the NBA live shyt, do that kind of shyt my nikka! Do shyt where nikkas can respect you! Cause on some gangsta shyt, we all gangsta out here! That don't have nothing to do with what we're trying to put down right now. We on peace right now. Peace always smashes war. Always.
