Smart move when he left deathrow,he was thinking of his future.

I like how dr dre has to keep a straight face after he laughs to retain his cool image. haha.

Great video!!! Thank you for posting it!

Dre just taught me more than I've learned in a while about this subject than 3 years of uni and college combined. At least the business side.

"did I answer the question or did I just start talking about bullshit?" - I wish politicians said that!

i love Dre....such a humble guy!

What a grounded man, very good post...respect

Such good answers for questions that were so damn blunt.

quality interview, dont see enough of this guy, dre all day

This interviewer is absolutely horrible.

Dre-"I didn't give a damn about the mu...(cleared throat) the uhh, the business part of it...lol

It's a doggy dogg world... the record bizness - Dr. Dre. It's interviews like that truly puts music, life, etc. into perspective! Straight up!

he seems to have the happiness that is given when you quest the truth.. this guy is a true artist and a very positive guy how few of that kind in the hip hop wolrd ?

Respect for Doc !

Good interview I just learn something that was very interesting a about the business

dr dre is the fucking man, big inspiration of mine as a producer just learning the ropes

The thing is there are so many people in similar positions all trying to get on and move up somewhere, the long and short of it is, it's about whose willing to give you a chance in the first place. Not many people are that lucky, and in that sense, these people have being very fortunate to be given that chance. They could just as easily had it the way we have it and nobody giving one at all.

"You know what I'm saying"........

What an inspiration!

This is really a good interview, especially when consider the fact that this interview is taken place right after him leaving Death Row Records (and not get killed.)

@maja216 That's got to be the best reply i've seen on youtube in years. No abusing, no swearing or put downs, just facts put in a constructive manor.

@expansie A record producer is an individual working within the music industry, whose job is to oversee and manage the recording (i.e. "production") of an artist's music. A producer has many roles that may include, but are not limited to, gathering ideas for the project, selecting songs and/or musicians, coaching the artist and musicians in the studio, controlling the recording sessions, and supervising the entire process through mixing and mastering.

Exactly, many people in that situation and worse love, I understand. Best advice I would give you is to save up, get some equipment cheapish in price and record your own shit for yourself because to be honest the amount you spend on so many studio sessions anyway you might as well have something of your own where you can record when you like. Even if the quality isn't great you can have more chance of it being heard and things can always be re-recorded anyway, and usually, they'd want that.

Keeping it real Dre .....Respect

Music is forever

It seems as if dr dr dre laughed it hurt him lol

This is why he's called the Doctor.

Dre is the wise man and the creator of creators

watched each video 2 or 3 times

Dr Dre is wise, honest, and organized! and a good learner! I rather be a poet Talents I was told don't grow on tree's realities come at the end of the year!

dude dre is so smart!!! 1 Love!

I agree to a certain extent. Money should not be the driving factor of your music but just like anything else you can't make a career out of something that can't at least support your basic living expenses. I know guys who make music and tour the states but still don't have anything to show for it. no car, no home and no dough. At some point and time we all hit that fork in the road, Career vs. Hobby and unfortunately the biggest separating factor is the ability to generate revenue.

i think then he was spot on cause its true today....Dre i'd would like to work and learn from seems were on the same thinkin level...very inspiring for me ("

Not only young black people make hip-hop is becoming more diverse and is growing from coast to coast it gives young people like me to create a craft of art hip hop can moves people souls and inspire anyone dre so like this if you vibing what im saying

straight up

excellent advice at the end. "know your business and know what your getting into before you get into it. cause it's a dog eat dog world". If people heard that before getting into selling drugs they'd be better off as in not broke, in jail or dead.

yes i know what ur sayin

gotta love Dre in his Bill Cosby sweater! lol

"The Record Business," his expression was deep there, absolute disdain like in his lyrics.

That's very true, but it still would be a great feeling to have one though I'm sure.

Todays music is hiphip but still I love pop,, 2ooo

i feel ya

Real talk Dre

Long live

@expansie The definition I gave is actually the verbatim definition of a "Music Producer" on Wikipedia. Dr. Dre is an established brand, having his name on a record is equivalent to having Steven Speilberg's name attached to a movie. There are millions of talented beatmakers out there but let's be honest would anyone know who Melman was had it not been for Dre's 2001? Even in Scott Storch's case Scott was just a keyboard player up until the point he worked with Dre.

Summed it up pretty good there at the end. "This is a fuckin dog eat dog world (straight up), the record business..."

lol wow!! I've been there all and done that all and talk about when shit hits the fan!! haha all I know is it's a good job I have a very good sense of humor!

Owww! Get Down! Dr. Dre!

Soul Brother Number 1

Straight up, I'm the same there as well lol!

Dre is a good man

as i said,i'm a student and i'm also an competitor in the kickboxing,i don't have any time,and even if i had time nobody will give me chance to work..the only chance is to cell drugs,but I really don't want thiss in my life..My dream is to go study somewhere out of my country and then to make this hole thing with the music..I hope to make it pff..

very cool ;)

This guy is a savant that was born in the projects.

I agree

so true ;)

One guy ad to light the smoke.

What year was this interview conducted?

How? He sits back quietly and listens?

yes, I know what you're sayin', Dr. Dre.

personally myself i dont care bout money i just want a hit something i can look back on and be proud of

Dre is extremely smart & insightful. ...but then again he wouldn't be successful as he is without these type of smarts.

Painful, gotta be head strong!!!

REAL SHIT

Rappers and other people in the music industry should right their own CONTRACTS, since they are the ones doing most of the work by singing, dancing, interviewing and whatnot.

ok so which artist are you talking about?

he talks just like CJ omg

I never though of it like that you gotta use what you learned now.

I think a point for most deals these days is 8 cents.

jesus i been here 6 days MOMMY bed pan

WORLD CLASS WREKKIN CREW FOR LIFE.... BETTER CHECK YOURSELF WITH THAT SHIT !!!!!

I can agree to an extent but I have a daughter and 5 nephews now I grew up with NWA Big Daddy Kane Run DMC just to name a few now my daughter and nephews like the new artist that are out and I like some myself but as a parent I am my childs Role model we listen to music together I take responcibility for helping my child understand what she is listening to and we discuss songs sometimes and what we think the artist was saying. We have a lot of parents today who don't PARENT stop blamin da artist

was he getting interviewed or interrogated?

The best magazine ever was Scratch

#1 Get gear on your own. Make demo's and find a label that will give you a shot. #2 Find other musicians, join forces, buy gear together that you all need. Maybe you fellow musicians have the gear already on their own.

my perspective is, make good music. As long as nobody is ripping off your shit, that should be all that matters. If you're good you'll make money

he sounds like denzel washington.

Lady of Rage the shit. Met her @ KFC in Ontario.

dre looks like derrick rose! haha they both look like they have a little Mongolian in them :D

lol I think Martin Luther King would have definately been digging HipHop for real! Martin Luther King now that's a legend

I've read all about dre's process. basically, he doesnt usually write the tunes but he waits and listens to his musicians and finds a tunes that he likes and then turns it into a beat. and trust me. the most impressive part of any dre record is not the tune

Compton was a pretty good album but not close to 2001 but close to The Chronic and The Aftermath

Dr DRE SAID THE REAL THING AT THE TIME OF 9:50 TO THE END!!!!!! THE TRUTH I WENT TO MUSIC SCHOOL 1994....INDUSTERY IS A JUNGLE ONLY THE WILD WILL SURVIVE..WORD!!

@TheHollywoody Yeah, straight up! ;)

03:37 Dre was totally on point with the Delores Tucker comment. people are always looking to moan and blame.

Money is everyones driving force in ant business. Especially this one.

Ok guys you are about to be sucked into The KZfaq Internet trap. This is your last chance to get off before you spend countless hours watching interviews.

I just realized Meek Millz kinda looks like Dre Lol

@phobiaguy Being a composer I totally agree with you. However, I hear what he is saying though.. It's nice to make money from your music, I wouldn't say no! I could do with it, and it's practically like a job to me as it's my entire life and it's work, but unfortunatly many composers never do get paid for their lifes work. The music industry is a dirty ass game, I wish you didn't have to worry about getting screwed over every minute of the day

The critics are wrong about a lot of things. Dre has created way more beats than Mel-Man has, even if he didn't produce "any of 2001."

how many moms does dre have? sheeeeeet

LOL

lmao

'Rare' 'In Depth' Lol it's on youtube.

@TLil21 HAHAHA! xD

hes hiding something, he wants to tell us but he can't

Tell dre to get at me

What is a point?

see the problem is not rappers rapping about what's happening in the ghetto and stuff it's them glorifying it.They glorify the violence, killing people, selling drugs and calling women hoes and bitches. They're making it seem like a good thing and that it's good to do it or something.....that's the only thing. The violence is not bothering anyone it's just rappers glorifying the shit out of it and disrespecting women.

dre this yo lil homie from your hood, on some real shit yo day 1 nigga Will is living on 40th st struggling to pay 20 dollars a month for his rent,an i knw u dnt owe nobody jack but we yo day 1 nigga's and aint not 1 of us around u but player hating as timmy jackson.[130th between sanpedro& avalon]much love and godbless from your real lil homie!!!!
