lol Common ain't relevant now. Nobody in the UK knows who he is except backpackers and whiteboys. Now if you go to the hood, none of the grimey goons listen to Common.
The US should learn to mind their fucking business, especially considering the U.S. was built upon violating the human rights of others. Word to Andrew Jackson being rewarded on a 20$ bill for the "Trail of Tears".
It was Iovine and Interscope that put him on, not Dre. People didn't buy Eminem albums to hear Dr. Dre's beats, they bought them to hear Eminem rap about the pain in his lifie, growing up poor on Dresden street, and his humor when dissing himself and pop stars.
Dr. Dre didn't produce 50's...
exactly the point, no donkey posters actually beef with other donkey posters until this seedz/PL vs. Town/Ike/Reppin shit popped off.
But back in the day, there used to always be beef between Donkey posters. Whether it was Ott/Jimi, Ott/Marcus, sthrn/mistaphil, gambino/jamal, streetz/everybody...
No, Eminem is an integral part of hip hop, his career has already eclipsed Dre's and he did it in half the time that it took Dre.
Dre has been "working" on an album for the past 11 years and the first two songs to leak from the album weren't even produced by him. He doesn't even write his own...
Eminem is the only reason why Dre has any relevance today. Let's be realistic, Dre fell off over a decade ago when he dropped "2001" in 1999. Since then, Eminem has been breathing the breath of life into Dre's chronic deflated lungs.
Eminem >> Dre as a rapper, producer, and figure in hip hop.
Dogg Pound went Double Plat without any involvement from Dre, Snoop was going to go Plat no matter what. Warren G went plat even tho he wasn't on Deathrow at the time. Pac was a platinum artist before ever signing to Deathrow--not that he even needed Dre's help to go plat in the first place.
I think the reason that Jay-Z lacks soul in his music is because he sold his soul for material things. He had to make a deal with the devil to be able to fuck Beyonce.
Think about it
