Why can't Dr. Dre write lyrics?

[Mac Casper]

Let's forget the production side of things for a moment. Why can't Dr. Dre write lyrics? Is it really that hard to put pen to paper. You know you're going to do 100+ takes. You have great studio knowledge and you know how to bring songs to life, why can't you write the lyrics? Dude's pen is like a viagra commercial. Why can't he do it?

some people just can't write?

That's really hard to accept. I can understand if you're completely outside of the realm of hip-hop and working in a studio seems like a foreign concept to you but this man is use to being in the studio. He's seen countless songs be brought to life and helped thousands of songs be made. How hard can it be to put pen to paper?

dre probably can to some degree but just was never great at it and because he always had a great writer around (from cube to the d.o.c.) never really tried too

He can't even produce records without help. I'm not shocked

He knows what sounds good. He has a great ear. But from all the help he gets on both sides of the board, it doesn't seem he's that creative and original

That's why.

I'm sure Dr. Dre has written some raps himself y'all think he never ever wrote a verse

Why doesn't every rapper just make their own beats then?

Who doesn't every rapper just make their own beats then?

There's a technical aspect to that craft that can serve as a barrier
