Zitat des Tages von Dr. Dre:
I'd rather deal with Tipper than Bush. He's trying to kill everybody in jail.
Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs is a hustler. In fact, he's what I call an extreme hustler.
Black women are the strongest most hardworking people on earth.
You got to realise that when I was 20 years old, I had a house, a Mercedes, a Corvette and a million dollars in the bank before I could buy alcohol legally.
Before now, I've always taken my mixes out to the car and listened to them in the parking lot. I still do that, but more so now I'm listening to it on the Beat box, and I think people should give it at least a listen and check it out and see what it is.
No matter where you are or what you're doing, it's always great if you don't have to get up and physically change the song that plays next.
Mission accomplished, we didn't have any problems as far as violence goes.
I've never considered myself a rapper. I know how to do it. I know how to make my voice project, and I know how to stay on beat and what have you, but I've never considered myself a rapper.
Kids are the ultimate form of motivation. They're watching. They're mimicking. They're an extension of you. So you have to win.
Everything in my life has been about sound and making music, so Beats represents just that - the improvement of sound and the dedication to everything I've been doing from the day I started.
I'm always going to talent scout and try to find new artists to work with.
It's entertaining to watch somebody break my music down or explain what he thinks I was thinking during the process of making these records. Because... he has no idea.
The only two things that scare me are God and the IRS.
I'd really like to do a movie, either as a producer or director. My ultimate fantasy would be to direct a movie and produce the entire soundtrack. I don't really see myself acting.
You just have to find that thing that's special about you that distinguishes you from all the others, and through true talent, hard work, and passion, anything can happen.
I've always hated authority from an early age. And authority have always hated me.
There's actually a lot of producers that I like to listen to.
I'm gonna try and change the course of hip hop again.
I've been living the American Dream for over 25 years - just being able to do what I do, be creative, and make money out of it. It's incredible.
I can't see myself ever spending hundreds of thousands on anything that doesn't come with a toilet.
I did record 'The Chronic' in 1992. The year was not a total loss.
When we started Aftermath, we had something like 20 artists, and it was driving me crazy. I couldn't sit down and focus on any of it. Plus, it was doubly hard because you ended up crushing these people's dreams when you had to let them go.
Kendrick Lamar is the real deal. He's a real artist, and he's gonna be here for awhile because this guy is seriously talented.
There is some sampling on my records and a lot of what I call replays, where I'd have musicians come in the studio and replay the sample from the original record. But mainly, we'd come up with our own music.
I got Ice Cube his start. I also launched Eazy-E.
In fact, I would advise against anyone doing reality shows. I won't be doing 'X Factor' just yet.
My father is the oldest of seven boys.
I sequence during the entire recording process. The sequencing changes as I'm recording and as I'm listening. From when I'm, like, four songs in, I start trying to figure out which song should come after which. Which is important, and it changes as the album goes.
It's always weird when people approach me to make an investment. I tell them, 'I don't need any more money. I'm good.' Then I wait for their expression. That part is entertaining, because people look at you like you're crazy when you say you don't need any more money. Who says that?
A lot of times when I'm at home kickin' it, I don't even listen to hip hop. I listen to all types of music.
I've sold a lot of records. Did I keep other artists from eating?
I have social anxiety.
I had between 20 and 40 songs for 'Detox,' and I just couldn't feel it. Usually, I can hear the sequence of an album as I'm going, but I wasn't able to do that. I wasn't feeling it in my gut.
I'm not no egotistical person. I just want what I'm supposed to get. Not a penny more, not a penny less.
It's always been difficult to make a good record.
There's never been any bad vibes between me and Snoop.
