His reasoning doesn't make a lot of sense.

Seems like the guy just didn’t want to

We were talking about this over weekend. Shit irks me



I think that's a decent reason but also I think Dre is so against making music in general after what he went through with easy and then Suge. Dre is always finding excuses to NOT make music and I think it's because he's part perfectionist part shook by a stigma

Becoming a billionaire off headphones didn't help the matter either

That's bullshit

Most of the beats that those greats rock on have been made by committee

Yea but besides mixing what would Dre bring to those sessions ? And MJ already had the goat engineer in his pocket

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

This no disrespect to Dre he understood it wasn’t for him and bowed out gracefully

 

[Goldie]

Off the few examples we got from Dre producing RnB (Michelle - in my heart, Bilal - fast lane, MJB - dancery) I think they could've cooked up some fire.

We talking the goats here though not ppl u giving a shot to

Every time u get in the studio w MJ u d have to think about how you d be able to compete w what he has done in the past

And I guess for Dre he could nt see himself and his team come close to that

He would've QB'd that thang. He would've been the arranger if nothing else. A fresh young ear/music mind for those OGs to experience and he would have learned a lot from them obviously

To finish this post off with another football reference, Dre fumbled...

on the 1 yard line


in the superbowl

Dre is a goat now he may not have been considered a goat back then but it's still like..... Kobe on the 97 All-Star team vs Jordan n them...

dre deserved to be in the room with them

Too much politics in music @Loch121

He knew they would have exposed him as a charlatan ‍

Lmao like hey Dre who is the kid playing the melody in there?

 

[thefrenchwood]

MJ spent the bulk of his career working with Quincy. He knows what a producer like Dre do. He wouldn’t have been surprised one bit.

Prince on the other hand…that’s another story.

 

[a.mann]

They wanted to see if he really was this musical genius and “perfectionist” he claims to be… And he folded.

 

[Disanthrope]

Yall anti Dre now?
