What If:


NWA never broke up............and Dr. Dre produced Ice Cube's 1st 3 albums.


What would those albums sound like?


Thought about this back in the day and, as good as those albums were, they'd be better if Dre produced them.

He would've been a different sound but had the same impact

 

[deadeye]

He would've been a different sound but had the same impact

True.


Except, with the different sound, I think it would hit a lot harder.


I mean, back then, the chemistry between Dre and Cube was perfect.


Dre made the perfect beats to blend in with Cube's rhymes.


Basically, to me anyway, Dre was the only thing missing from Cube's albums.

WHAT IF...Kim and Foxy never beefed?

I think they would've been on each other's albums. Or eventually did a collabo album.

From what I hear it was supposed to drop between Ironman and Wu Tang Forever, but due to the flood they scrapped it and dropped Wu Tang Forever.

NWA never broke up............and Dr. Dre produced Ice Cube's 1st 3 albums.

Thought about this back in the day and, as good as those albums were, they'd be better if Dre produced them.

Yep, and what if Dre woulda stayed away from Marion Knight?

Ruthless woulda had N.W.A., BONE, possibly Mack 10 and WC.

What if Pastor Troy came out with No More Play In GA during the Atlanta crunk era movement in 02'. Although, he had a big impact when he came out but I think his career would've been bigger if he dropped in 02'.
