    Yeah, not sure why you would change up what made him popular. The fast rap wasn't what he was doing. And how embarrassing for Dre to introduce so many people to never come out. I'm pretty sure that Dre has killed just as many careers as he has helped. His career and reputation is interesting to me. Connor would have been just fine independent
    . I'm just not sure what makes people sign with him, other than his name. Most people never release anything with him.

    They're aiming for a classic album I guess. But yes, nothing comes out most of the times.

    Dre pretty much ruined Jon Connor's career, I mean he only got 4000 views on one of his videos from last year :empalm:

    Man, this is just sad. And he was signed for like 6 years, he was longer at Aftermath than Bishop Lamont.

    It’s pretty simple why artists get shelved by Dre, they aren’t making music up to his standard.

    Dre's standards are as flawed as anyone else's though. His stamp is on a fair share of duds, he even shot a video for 'I Need a Doctor' with that atrocious beat. His indecision is a privilege that Dre can enjoy and his career can weather, but s----canning other people's projects has done massive damage to their careers. Several times now we've seen him sign people, put them to work on his material, never let them release their own, and they eventually leave and have to go indy because their buzz is long dead. Dre mostly signs decent talent. Then he wastes it, cause he's afraid of a 7/10.

    I loved INAD lol I don't care what people say. And Kush was dope, but for some reason they stopped the whole thing and he didn't drop.

    I just want him and Em in the same studio like back in the days. Em could really use some good criticism.

    Relapse was a great mashup between them, but some of Em's best work comes from his own production. Not sure what criticism he needs right now, everything has been on point since Kamikaze.

    I agree. The INAD beat was not very great. Kush beat was on point though.

    Not really.

    Look at the kind of artists he’s pushed out compared to the shelved ones:

    NWA
    Snoop Dogg
    Eminem
    50 Cent
    The Game
    Kendrick Lamar
    Anderson Paak.

    Each one arguably dropping classic album(s) under him, who has runs like that? Dre mostly shelves emcees that can’t make quality songs like Jon Connor for example, look at the album he dropped last year, horrible, no wonder he was shelved.

    INAD was leaked & capitalised off & is classed as solo work, not relevant.

    The content imo, specially on Side B, which somehow is way more fun than side A.

    Someone should tell him when some punchlines are too corny or some lines are too bad.

    The INAD beat is trash, and the mixing is somehow even worse

    Kush was great and, same w The Recipe, a perfect way to start a Detox rollout.

    Dont get me wrong, I love Compton, but still...

    Dre heard revival and loved it that's very far from good criticism and I never liked the inad beat that's the only thing that ruins it for me

    Well, Dre gave the ok to a lot of weird s--- I guess, just cause Em was selling good. But things have changed a bit now, Em is moving different now, kinda, cause the content still pretty meh.

    True. But could you imagine a super group of all of his protégés? Kendrick, Eminem, Snoop and Anderson .Paak. Throw in a bit of Nate Dogg and history would be made.
