Dr. Dre Made Erick Sermon Never Want To Write Raps Again (Studio Session) 

Dope interview for is Hip Hop Degens😤🎶🎤 -🐢

He really doesn’t.

“Smoother”.

😂😂😂😂😂​@@p.r.7256

Well that was also D.O.C. that taught Snoop that. Doc maybe more than Dre taught Snoop how to write songs according to Snoop

Snoop was saying how Dre helped him simplify 16 bars for structured verses on The Chronic.

People don't seem to understand, There's a difference between making beats and production. Being a producer

Dre will be dead and gone before he get his respect !

@@TRIPLETIGHTTRACKS Facts.

It's crazy how the producer community in large been knowing Dre was the goat but it's the hip hop community that always makes it a thing. I can respect someone's choice of favorite producer but when it comes to who's the goat, every producer who's a producer agrees Dre is the best.

@@leezydagod2507 💯

this story is from dre and snoops new album

He don’t write shit he has ghost writers

yup, killing the rap poetry and lyric writing was the DEATH of hiphop, as much as i hate GenZ, it was my millennials that took poetry out of hiphop, its my era that nas released "hiphop is dead" album

@@frequentiisNahh.. It’s still some dope Emcees out here, crushin shht… Some young ones at that.. Don’t judge the lot by a few. HipHop is very much alive..

@@brolickscholar3083 like who? there's no GenZ emcee so stop frontin. i'm aware of griselda, 38 spesh, planet asia, joyner lucas, etc. but those are "ALL" millennials, the only emcees dropping albums in 2023-2024 are nas, busta rhymes, planet asia, evidence types, "ALL" GenX or millennials, there's no GenZ emcees, stop it

Exactly anybody can make a beat. At the end of the process it's about how the song is mixed down and the direction and concept of the song. It's many layers to it

Not always the choirs my friend. Read his credits

Locksmith does the same thing.

He writes at home and memorises. Writing does not mean putting it on paper.

@@lindamathosa9430 bs he bites the next man’s ideas. Add a few biggie lines get a hook from who Evers hot at the time. Use somebody’s flow. Black ball them. Bye his on records the rest is history

@@robertbruce4054 Facts

Wtm fam?....How won't he hear it

​@@504_WOADYit's definitely coming out this.

Agreed! We’ve only been waiting on detox for over a decade now 😂

That’s because it’s probably wack. Let’s be honest did anyone really liked that Compton album? Dre is a legend, has classic albums and has worked with the best but he’s not making hot shit anymore. And that’s fine, his time has passed.

Different methods, DRE is a super producer. You’re not going in there with some bullshit that makes no sense to him, main reason probably why Rakim didn’t work out. If you’re a real spitter you can write rhymes or put it together right there line by line

Rakim is your example bro. That's crazy

@@tears2040 I feel where you’re coming from. I’ve recorded rough drafts on my phone and rehearsed the hell out of em so that I know it off the top of my head when I go in to not be stuck in the studio all night getting charged more but as far as creating a fresh song I’d still rather brainstorm on paper rather than just freestyling and seeing what sticks. Especially in front of Dre I’d feel more confident in my written than my freestyle. Guess it just depends on the vibe 🤷🏿‍♂️

For example: You Gots To Chill.

West coast… loves funk music.. and EPMD, gave them what they wanted. Some hard funk

He actually does write some times

@@stevieb274CAP 😂

@@amdi8966it’s true

@@amdi8966You missed the whole point … cause you just like to talk for attention

😂😂😂

You're right. The funny thing is, the OGs had a different definition of freestyle than the later generations. Big Daddy Kane said a freestyle was actually something you rehearsed beforehand and then you spit when you felt it was the right situation. It devolved to just being "I'm gonna just say whatever comes to mind." The true freestyle has become a lost art.

@edg456 Big Daddy Kane doesn't define what freestyle is for the culture....here on the west coast freestyling has always been about coming off the dome spontaneously. To say that it "devolved" to this level says you don't understand the true art of saying a dope rhyme on the spot without rehearsal.

It's true BDK doesn't define it for the whole culture, but his perspective has a lot of merit. As far as me saying it devolved, I said that because I do appreciate the art form but the truth is a lot of people who freestyle already have rehearsed bits in their head that they piece together. Some artists do have the skill to completely invent something on the spot, but many don't, whether they openly admit it or not. Also, just because people say they can freestyle doesn't mean their music isn't trash. There's a clear distinction between what as you said "saying a dope rhyme on the spot" and what you said about doing entire albums with little substance, which is what I was clearly talking about and assumed you would get that nuance. But that's what I get for making an assumption. 🤷🏿

@edg456 Bro I'm with you. Big Daddy Kane has every right to define what a freestyle is. I remember him talking about it too, but vaguely. Somewhere down the line freestyles and off the top became interchangeable terms. Also, you were being generous. A vast majority of people that try to go off the top say wack shit. There is no complexity to them whatsoever. They might get a line or 2 in that is really good but everything else is wack. Only a very very very small percentage of rappers can actually go off the dome and really spit something good. Freestyles however, is when an artist just wants to display his skills and show what he got in his arsenal. Those are definitely written.

You'll hear it in 2034 😅

@@Demoldee 🤣🤣

That’s what he’s paid to do.

No. They’re talking about the writing process, not the recording process.

@@mindbully But today in 2020's people do their writing process *in* their recording process (the same time). this is why @Eddie said "punching in?"

No.

@@mindbully right on

Yes

I'm sorry to hear all you've been going through. May God have mercy upon you and your entire family. God will work out something for you very soon. God knows what you are going through. I placex you in my prayers tonight.

It’s so he can develop the best verse possible. Erick just explained that. Pay attention.

They need to pay homage to my man's.

Never releases anything. He has countless classics, nerd. Dating back to ‘87.

Record 1000 songs and select 5 good ones it's the recipe. Dr. Dre is overrated af

@@mindbully What has Dre released in the last 10-12 years? Never is a stretch, but barely in the last decade and a half is correct.

@@gdiggedy9 Not a lot. He’s a 5-decade vet with countless classics and a billion dollars in the bank. I get the impression that he’s chillin and moves when he wants to. He’s earned that, probably more than anyone in the history of Hip-Hop.

yup, killing the rap poetry and lyric writing was the DEATH of hiphop, as much as i hate GenZ, it was my millennials that took poetry out of hiphop, its my era that nas released "hiphop is dead" album

@@frequentiis It obviously wasn't the death as Dre has created some of the most memorable records in hip hop history. Creativity is fluid.

No parameters. Great records are not just the one's that fit whatever you believe in obviously.

@ide9273 focus, i'm taking about poetry, yasiin bey, talib kweli, andre 3000 poetry, black thought, jadakiss poetry, az, nas poetry, kane, rakim, slick rick poetry, ras kass, killah priest poetry, thats why i believe cam'ron, 50 cent, lil wayne killed hiphop, focus, and pay attention, yes, cam'ron created dipset anthems, but not poetry, 50 cent made classics, but not poetry, lil wayne used metaphors, similes, wordplay, but not poetry, he wasnt telling a story like nas or 3000 or black thought or slick rick, focus next time, bro

Erick disagrees. His opinion > yours.
