Could Dre be over-credited??

[Roger Sterling]

Dr Dre, y'all know the name. Does it get any more iconic? doubt it.

The man's said to be responsible for a million great things; Easy-E's, Ice Cube's, the N.W.A's, The D.O.C's, the Death Row's, Snoop Dogg's, Eminem's, 50's, Kendrick's, et cetera et cetera. But does he really deserve all that cred? Let's break a few down.

Easy-E and the N.W.A.
Dre talked Easy into rapping, no doubt about that. But if you really think about it, Easy was the only easy option around. Dre's initial plan, was to kick start with them NY boys who eventually choked out. Dre was no rapper, and he was still wreckin' with that crew. Cube was C.I.A too. So it's only Easy that could do it, and he's the one that had a lot to lose anyway. Therefore, Easy did it.

Easy blew up. Everybody that knew the lil guy, say he had that Easyfect on almost everybody around him. To cut the crap, N.W.A blew up because of Easyfect and Cube's pen. So why is Dre getting the lion share of creds, while he only had little (or seems so) in it compared to Easy and Cube? Beats me.

From this picture, you could tell who were the sh!t.​

Death Row.
Dre gave DR it's first biggest record. Scratch that, Dre gave West Coast it's first biggest record. Chronic was the sh!t even the East couldn't front, no matter how bad they wanted to. Death Row and the whole coast took over the rap game after that. Then the Doggystyle and others followed up.

But the platform that made it all possible, was Suge's vision. If it wasn't for Suge, Dre woulda probably ended up being Easy's B! for the rest of his life (or Easy's for that matter). Suge saved Dre. Chronic was Snoop's & D.O.C's, as much as it's Dre's. Dre layed the tracks, them dudes pen'd them lyrics. Rest in history.

The Math.

​

After Death Row, Dre tried to rebuild himself. Several attempts to establish his Aftermath failed, 'til he signed Eminem. Eminem was Jimmy's recommendation, and Jimmy being the man that's cutting Dre big checks, it's a no brainer move. And word is, everybody knew how sick Em was, just didn't know what to do with the "illest white boy", Jimmy did.

What I'm tryna say is, Dre didn't have much of an option when he picked Em. Besides Jimmy's role, his Math was struggling, so what's the worse that coulda happened?

2001. "Another Classic".

Only Jay and Scott missing here.
​

After Em's, 2001's the next biggest thing that shut the doubters up for good. What carried it all?..Still Dre; beat by Scott Storch, lyrics by Jay-Z, and the video by me(I know you don't get it). Forgot about Dre was all Eminem's (not sure who made the track tho). Next Episode, Snoop's & not sure who else.

So, compared to everybody that was involved, I'm not sure if Dre truly deserves as much creds.

Beats by Dre.

Make white friends. Smart white friends.
​

Probably many of y'all jumped in the bandwagon here. Again, this was Jimmy's recommendation. Dre wanted the cliché(sneakers), but Jimmy showed him the next truth. Rest is history.


Straight outta Compton.

​

This is the latest of the man's "accomplishments". But in case you didn't know, Dre didn't wanna do it at all. It's Ice Cube that pushed for everything, and Dre only jumped on board after Cube's efforts. Can't even argue here, this was Cube and Gary's movie.



I guess what I'm tryna say is, Dre has achieved some godly things, no question. But there are many people that deserve much much credits than the main man, in all those things. It's only my opinion.

Inategemea Na perception za watu.....!

 

[GuyFromArusha]

He struck one of the most lucrative endorsement deals there ever was,no to mention by a rapper or musician so to say! Iyo ndo achievement inayompa shavu aside his genuious in composing beats and rapping!!

 

[Prince Kunta]

Dr. Dre is the name I'm ahead of my game
Still, puffing my leafs, still f**k with the beats
Still not loving police
Still rock my khakis with a cuff and a crease
Still got love for the streets, repping 213
Still the beat bangs, still doing my thang
Since I left, ain't too much changed, still

 

[screpa]

duh, sikuwahi kujua kama still dre haukuwa mkono wake kwenye beat

 

[Prof Griff]

Todally irrelevant question. Dre's the greatest and most influential gangsta rapper and produce ever; hands own! If he drops an album today, it will break all sales record in the history of rap music. Guaranteed.

 

[naumbu]

Dah keep on hating bra!

 

[Roger Sterling]

duh, sikuwahi kujua kama still dre haukuwa mkono wake kwenye beat

Yup! Beat alitengeneza huyu jamaa hapo chini. Ikatumwa kwa Jay-Z, ikarudishwa na verses, Dre akaingiza sauti yake.

*jaribu tricks zimetumika wa comments za chini* unamaanisha nini?

 

[JAYJAY]

Lay Low nao ni mkono wake!? (Binafsi naelewa hivyo). Ila naona kwa mbali unafanana na Still Dre ndio maana napata shida kuamini Still Dre ni mkono wa Scott.

Sijui kuhusu lay low, ila Still Dre ni 100% Scott's. Dre kwa muda amekuwa akihusishwa na kudandia uwezo wa wengine, ilibidi a-address hizo issue kwenye Hello

Did I fall off?
Got you in your room, rippin' every "Chronic" poster on your wall off/
Just cause I put away the sawed off?
Now I got you sittin' back with a smirk, listenin' with your arms crossed?
Questionin' Dre's credibility, Wondering if it's still in me to produce hits/
Y'all be killin me, as if I need to make more/

Following the pun in red?

 

[Shuleless]

D.O.C alikua hatari sana...

 

[Shuleless]

Sikuwahi kufahamu kama alishawahi kujibizana na Lamar. Kuna muda aliathiriwa na dawa za kulevya sana, so inawezekana.
