Soooo... Is everybody gonna forget how fake and gay Dr.Dre is?

[ISmokeTooMuch]

listen to express yourself by NWA


dre says "don't smoke buddha, cant stand sess"


then he goes on to call his debut solo album the chronic LOL

2pac was also fake AF

[ClaptonDeCheeks]

I think you forget that in the 80s, the more gay you looked, the more gangsta it was. IDK why... maybe it was like pimp-style taking to the homo extreme.

[TheGodRustler]

Doesnt matter what he was. His net worth after the sale of Beats (twice now) has made him the smartest rapper in my book.

He may be close or at that billion man mark.

[letitride0]

[johndoejd54]

Pretty much no popular rapper is a legit thug they just grew up around them and see the profitable business in portraying themselves as such

[Perfectbrah213]

tupac was also a fake gangsta (srs)

brb did ballet in HS

brb



yeah, definitely real gangsta...straight from the hood (notsrs)

Am I the only one who thinks tupac seemed gay as hell in that vid?

I cringe everytime I watch it srs

[CroForce]

[suphaters]

This. Smart way of marketing themselves.

[AndYUKnowThis]

lol @ anyone who thinks any rapper is a real gangster. As Dr. Dre said a long ass time ago, "Its entertainment". Always has been. An image pushed in the 90s.

50 was real
Eazy-e
Snoop could still have you killed
T.I. gun possession


Not all of em are real, but there are a few. My dad grew up in 70s/80s and say's Dre is fake.

[JHDIII1987]

lol and what drake, lil wayne and all these new crop are

lol, Ain't nothing wrong with Prince.

[Strapta]

All of these rappers are fakes and bitch asses lol. Think about it if they were any good they'd be making big money in the hood, they wouldn't degrade themselves by becoming "entertainers" and making songs for suburban teens. Yes some of them have a history of crime but they were obviously bottom of the for chain.

lol T.I.P is real as ****...I recall living in Atlanta and ATF raided his place for all his silenced machine guns.

He was a bit scared after his best friend got killed.

[zippology]

You tellin me these guys aint real Gs?

[Destor]

Pretty much no popular rapper is a legit thug they just grew up around them and see the profitable business in portraying themselves as such

Exactly, smart as fuk.

Dre was born in Compton and is now a self-made billionaire.


Brb disregarding something actually worthy of admiration and hating on him for being a fake gangster.

[AndYUKnowThis]

lmao, snoop is just as fake as Dre

I'll say it again, snoop could have you killed to this day. There was a YouTube were someone actually threatened him. Gonna try an look it up.


Also, how old are you and where you getting this info from?

[Yoopwat]

Also Tupac was a phucking ballet dancer, not like he was hardcore, its an act to get money, he was a smart guy, so is Dre.

Yeah ok bro. You know he got killed for kicking the sh#t out of a member of the Crips yeah?

[Cpthaak]

Interview with Pac after his release from prison, feel free to read.

Question: How does it feel to be free again?

Answer: I'm so glad to be out. It was tough sitting in jail listening to Jay Leno and Rush Limbaugh and everybody making jokes about me getting shot. And watching the media report all kinds of lies about me, like that I got raped in jail. That never happened. But at least while I was locked down, all the inmates gave me props [encouragement], and so did lots of mothers and kids, who wrote me letters of support.
One of the best letters I got came from [actor] Tony Danza. I've never even met the guy, but he wrote me to say he liked my album and to keep my head up and to just come out stronger. I can't tell you how great that made me feel.

Q: How do you look back on the last couple of turbulent years?

A: It's been stress and drama for a long time now, man. So much has happened. I got shot five times by some dudes who were trying to rub me out. But God is great. He let me come back. But, when I look at the last few years, it's not like everybody just did me wrong. I made some mistakes. But I'm ready to move on.

Q: Did you write this new album in jail?

A: No. I only wrote one song there. But I've been in the studio every waking hour since I got out. Me and my producer Johnnie "J." keep coming up with new songs till people start passing out. Then we come back early in the morning and start over. You're going to feel the entire 11 months of what I went through on this album. I'm venting my anger.

Q: A number of your songs deal with--and some people say glorify--drug dealing and gang violence. What do you say to people who say you are a bad social influence?

A: Let me say for the record, I am not a gangster and never have been. I'm not the thief who grabs your purse. I'm not the guy who jacks your car. I'm not down with people who steal and hurt others. I'm just a brother who fights back. I'm not some violent closet psycho. I've got a job. I'm an artist.

Q: So why is gangbanging and violence so often the focus of your music?

A: Everything in life is not all beautiful, not all fun. There is lots of killing and drugs. To me, a perfect album talks about the hard stuff and the fun and caring stuff. What I want to know, though, is why all of a sudden is everybody acting like gangs are some new phenomenon in this country? Almost everyone in America is affiliated with some kind of gang. We got the FBI, the ATF, the police departments, the religious groups, the Democrats and the Republicans. Everybody's got their own little clique and they're all out there gangbanging in their own little way.
The thing that bothers me is that it seems like all the sensitive stuff I write just goes unnoticed . . . the media doesn't get who I am at all. Or maybe they just can't accept it. It doesn't fit into those negative stories they like to write. I'm the kind of guy who is moved by a song like Don McLean's "Vincent," that one about Van Gogh. The lyric on that song is so touching. That's how I want to make my songs feel. Take "Dear Mama"--I aimed that one straight for my homies' heartstrings.

Q: You studied at the Baltimore School of Performing Arts. Does your theater background influence your songwriting?

A: It influences all my work. I really like stuff like "Les Miserables" and "Gospel at Colonus." And I love Shakespeare. He wrote some of the rawest stories, man. I mean look at Romeo and Juliet. That's some serious ghetto [expletive]. You got this guy Romeo from the Bloods who falls for Juliet, a female from the Crips, and everybody in both gangs are against them. So they have to sneak out and they end up dead for nothing. Real tragic stuff.
And look how Shakespeare busts it up with Macbeth. He creates a tale about this king's wife who convinces a happy man to chase after her and kill her husband so he can take over the country. After he commits the murder, the dude starts having delusions just like in a Scarface song. I mean the king's wife just screws this guy's whole life up for nothing. Now that's what I call a b----.


Q: Why do you use such derogatory terms to describe women? Doesn't that play into the hands of critics who say rappers are misogynists?

A: If the shoe fits wear it, that's what I say. What if all the guys started complaining when women call them dogs? In real life, just like in Macbeth, all women are not just pure and true. Just because I write some songs about bad women, though, that doesn't mean I hate women. I've written songs that show great love and respect for women too. Songs that talk about strong, upstanding women and their pain.
Look around you in this studio right now. I have women working on my music. They understand where I'm coming from. So does my mama. I always play my music for her before it comes out. Why do you think I wrote "Dear Mama"? I wrote it for my mama because I love her and I felt I owed her something deep.

[Caesarthetics]

Tupac didn't want to work with dre because he was gay and didn't come out. He said he couldn't work with a fake gangster and almost faught him srs

Didn't Tupac hate Dre for not showing up at Snoops trial to testify and which couldve lead to a death penalty for Snoop?

[Roach06]

Who cares if the artist never actually experiences it, as long as it sounds good and is entertaining or speaks to you...that is all that matters. Would much rather have a "fake" rapper that is awesome than a "real" rapper that is sub-par.

[HungryVenezuela]

Thanks for the workout jams OP.

[Muzzlrpress]

lmao, snoop is just as fake as Dre

Umm

lmfao you serious?


Didn't 50 hire extra body guards to watch his home when he was beefing with the Game?

50 is a fake ass gangster and got exposed years ago. Hell, even mayweather made him his bitch

[Neceseco]

all this gangster culture is disgusting

[clemburger]

tupac was also a fake gangsta (srs)

brb did ballet in HS

brb



yeah, definitely real gangsta...straight from the hood (notsrs)

So let me get this straight. If you're intelligent and/or actually follow your passions without giving a single fuk what your homies think about it, that makes you fake? You're dumb.

[STAYDENCH]

The guy is one of the greatest producers of all time and drooped a sick album in Chronic

Please

[TheWorldIsUrs]

New and refreshing

[Adon]

Out of all the whack *******s that makes up todays rap, you gotta take a pick on Dre...

[clemburger]

The guy is one of the greatest producers of all time and drooped a sick album in Chronic

Please

2001 was fire as well.

[DrinkingBull]

these dudes actually live what there rappin about, and their pretty good, but extremely one dimensional... work is all they know. If we didnt have "studio" gansters, the entire genre wouldn't have any versatility
