I'm Going In (My Frustration Rant) - Dr. Dre...I am sick of the bullshucks...

Dear Dr. Dre,

I am so kcufing fed up with you...really, I am. Before I go in, let me say this to the so-called hip hop purists out there:

• Yes, I know Dre is a legend.


• Yes, I acknowledge Dre's contributions to hip-hop


• Yes, I know that Dr. Dre is an accomplished beat creator and studio engineer.


• Yes, I own the majority of Dr. Dre and Dre produced lps.

Okay, I got that out of the way. Now, let's get into the real isht.

Dr. Dre...enough with the statements. I am sick of the bullshucks. Label me a hater or what have you, but I along with other fans don't believe a single word that you say anymore. This anger didn't start just yesterday...it has been pent up and snowballing for several years. Let's go down the list of projects that YOU said were going to come out but never ever happened, shall we???

• Helter Skelter (the collaborative Ice Cube-Dr. Dre album)


• NWA Reunion album with Snoop filling in for Easy-E


• "Oh My God" - Rakim's solo LP (Allegedly, you turned down several submitted DJ Premier tracks...wow)


• Chairman of the Boards (the collaborative Timbaland-Dr. Dre album)


• King Tee's solo LP (this was wayyyyyyyyy back when you first started Aftermath Records)


• Hittman's solo album


• The Last Emperor's solo LP


• Bilal's Dr. Dre produced album


• Joell Ortiz's Dr. Dre produced album


• Snoop's fully Dr. Dre produced album


• Detox (I don't EVEN want to get into this)

Yes, there are two sides to every story, but the story always ends with you looking like shi*. The aforementioned unfinished products are verifiable proof that we cannot believe a word that you say. Ok, I know that there are schedules and everyone is busy, but in this day an age, technology allows you get to one another when you can't be in the studio together. In addition, if you requested that certain emcees make themselves available for a few weeks, trust me, a producer of your stature could demand such an audience.

Next, let's discuss the "ghost producers" on many of your classic albums cuts. A few these dudes have stated that you either took their tracks or they were relegated to straight co-producing credits despite creating the beat in it's entirety. (NOTE: A common practice now is that established beat creators will allow an amateur to come under their wing. They will tweak the amateur's production and take the lion's share of the producing credit, since theoretically, it's their name.) Here we go....

• Mel-Man


• Warren G


• EA-Ski


• DJ Quik


• Daz


• Soopafly


• Just Blaze (hasn't said nothing..YET. But you turned down the beat for "Throwback", which became a smash hit for Usher??")

I have often gotten into many discussions with my producer friends regarding the fact that you actually make beats anymore. (They all ensure me that you do in some capacity.) From what I understand, you "produce" in a similar to that of Diddy now...taking beat creators' music and studio engineering them to Dre caliber... FAH!

Enough, enough, enough, ENOUGH. JUST SHUT THE KCUF UP. NO MORE DAMN ANNOUNCEMENTS ABOUT ANY KCUFING ALBUMS UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY COMPLETE S*IT.

Enough with the stalled album delays of Detox. Yes, I know you don't have to rush anything on our behalf, but we are tired of the false announcements of who is going to be on Detox, when it's going to drop and etc., etc., etc. Do us all a freaking favor. Don't say another **d damn thing until it is in the stores, okay?? For us hip hop heads that have been waiting almost 5 years for this latest opus, this is not cool at all.

I swear to kcufing **d that this album better be the second coming. I mean, to have us all waiting and twisting in the proverbial wind for some bullshucks will definitely impact your legendary status. Trust me on that one.

I am out...
