what is your age?She thang hasn’t had a classic beat in 15 years
Nah he was gonna have Makaveli Records as part of the Death Row umbrella. Similar to how Dogghouse Records was at first.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.

“Tha Outlawz, Ghetto Stars, Makaveli The Don, yes
Death Row, Haha
Death Row gave birth to a new seed, Makaveli Records”
That’s from one of the last songs he recorded

This is nonsense. Dr. Dre Presents...The Aftermath exists. He did a bunch of shyt on The Firm album that was a dud. Everything he touches isn't gold and that's fine.Nah, 7 Day Theory was gonna drop regardless because Pac was thinking that would be his quick ticket off the label.

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.

If he needs five fukking years to produce a quality project, he isn't in the same tier as Timbaland, Premier, Kanye, RZA, Alchemist, etc. It's also funny how his best work tends to align with a young producer.
I know Hit-Boy is fairly polarizing on here, but Dre could not do what he did with Nas the past four years.
That's what happens when you put your name in the title.That's exactly the point.
Dre tried to switch up and do something different, it bombed and he was never the same again with being free and lax in releasing music again. Ever since, every project with dude and his output is mad meticulous. That project was when the shift happened. 1996. People expect greatness from Dre. He's the most celebrated and impactful person in Hip Hop. Dude can't just throw whatever out there like other artists.
So even a compilation like Aftermath Presents where he didn't even do all the production on, but just had his name on the cover, was clowned because Dre was involved. He was just trying to showcase new talent and get new producers and artists some shine, and even that got highly criticized. That shows how high the expectations are for his music.
This is him procrastinating more and running away from the weight of the expectation. It is literally the seme thought process as the Compton soundtrackThat's exactly the point.

Did you just watch the All Eyez on Me movie? . Death Row East was all Eric B. Pac was going to do Makaveli RecordsThat'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.
Idk about that breh. From what I heard Pac wanted to leave Death Row when he first got there but then towards the end Suge offered him a subsidiary.Pac was trying to leave Death Row altogether.
7 Day Theory was the project that he thought would be the exit. So when you hear Greg Nice, Buckshot, Treach, and even EDI from The Outlawz speak on it, they all say the same thing. Pac wasn't planning on doing any more work with Death Row after 7 Day Theory. But Suge told him he owed millions and couldn't leave because he didn't fulfill his obligations financially. So that's when he started pitching that Pac could pay that back by expanding Death Row with new labels that he could run.
That's why Buckshot said that Pac told him he was "stuck" on the label and can't go do the One Nation album and record label with him. Makaveli Records was an off-shoot production company that Suge owned, along with Quincy Jones. It was pitched to keep Pac on Death Row, but never materialized. Pac's plan according to EDI, was to start a company back East and call it One Nation, and work with all his favorite rappers on it. He was done with Death Row.

Anyone who puts out something wack gets criticized. You think he's above that?
He's barely done anything the last two decades.
