*Wayminute! We just learned something about Dr. Dre that’s mindblowing. There are certain artists that struck fear in his producer’s heart. Among them are Michael Jackson and Prince!
No doubt they would be on err’body’s wish list but the good doctor’s. Dre said no to the late music giants because they were just too established. And guess who he left hangin’ in the studio of all people. Non-other than Stevie Wonder. Dang. We gotta know what’s up wit dat.
Here’s the deal. The music mogul and man behind the “Beats” headphones/gear made those startling confessions to Kevin Hart on the new season of the “Hart to Hart” podcast, reports TMZ. The way Dre sees things, to him it’s much easier shaping a new artist’s career (ala Snoop Dogg and Eminem) than helping a living legend redefine their sound.
As we said up top, it’s mindblowing to know that, as a producer, Dr. Dre of people can be intimidated. Check out his convo below for the revelations.
