Looks like im one of the few that actually appreciates the classics upon classics he served over time... Random cuts from Snoop in the late 90s like Buck Em SOUND dope as hell because of Dr.Dre
Was there room for more ? Probably

Pac exposed him 30 years ago, dre was lazy
Can't hate, not every artist is built to spend 24/7 in the studio recording 100s of songs a day.
You want some days to chill, party, cruise & fukk some hoes

I simply don't understand how anyone from the 2 inch tape era could possibly be a perfectionist hahaha. There were always mistake on tape simply because there was no "undo" or "copy" buttons.
This right here is exactly what Dre is referring to.Wheres the juelz gif
Someone who wants things right,but never thinks its right is a perfectionist. Or is no longer as talented as they used to be if its taking decades to get it right.
So if by "buy time",he means hes waiting for the next Scott Storch,Daz or DJ quik to help him make beats? That I actually buy
Buy time for what? My sentiments exactly.
Time goes forward, fast.
Dj Premier and Alchemist used their "time" to create so much more.
I love Dre but feel he should use the rest of his "time" on earth to drop completed projects.
It straight up made me angry as a teen waiting on Detox. Then I accepted him for who he is. He's still great.
Think about this ... I have the same birthday as Dr. Dre. My first rap concert I attended was the Up In Smoke Tour in Worcester, MA - I was 8 years old, still have yet to see a better show in my life
My debut album was 12 songs with 7 music video, entirely funded by a 22 year old version of myself. At the time I could have used the money for hotel rooms but I was often sleeping in my car
Many of my songs left the studio without me even hearing the verse takes played back to me because I simply needed to make sure it was done within my allocated studio time of about 3 hours or less for each song. That's about 36 hours for the whole album. Studio rates ranged from $40 to $55 an hour
Every dollar spent was a substraction of comfort in other areas of my life
Imagine if Dr. Dre ever worked with a budget constraint - perhaps with all of genius he would have been a little bit more focused on what he actually wanted to get done rather than his style of 10 hour sessions of what are essentially ranging between reinterpolations to sound designs that splinter and become things he loses motivation to work on
The issue is that studio time was too abundant for him - he doesn't value it. It's psychological
It is like if you print dollars, the more you print the less the dollars are worth

Nah, 7 Day Theory was gonna drop regardless because Pac was thinking that would be his quick ticket off the label.
He only had one project left. So he wanted to rush those out, to be done with Suge. He owed them three albums. So he figured make AEOM a double, and then knock out the Makaveli sh*t and be out. He wasn't gonna wait for nobody. The goal was to be done with Death Row altogether.
But Dre is the GOAT. And whether he admits it or not, no other artist or producer has set a standard higher than Dre. So his whole career has been with the expectation that he's about to drop some monumental sh*t. So I get why he says it has to be "right". Other people have the luxury to drop average music, but Dre can't do that. People expect a different level of music from dude.
Breh ... The idea that he wanted to leave the label that he was stomping people out for on the day he was shot is misattributed. His latest interviews show a man that wanted to expand the label and he even mentioned being a stock holder, showing that he believed ina bigger venture under the Death Row name

That's what Suge offered him AFTER he told him he can't leave.
Pac tried to bounce. Suge said he can't leave and told him he had a better idea because he owed bread. That's when he pitched the whole Death Row East idea and all that to Pac, saying he could expand the label and have more time to recoup what he owed him.

He’s too much of a perfectionist, not everything can be perfect that’s just the way of life.

Yeah I think Pac would've had a subsidiary underneath Death Row like Shady to Aftermath or Young Money to Cash Money. He probably would've been the first to do it
She thang hasn’t had a classic beat in 15 years
