MUSICA & gt; DR. DRE

Music sixteen years not edited an album but in the end 2015 proved to be the time to learn new material from Dr. Dre, the producer of hip hop’s most successful of all time, millionaire businessman, and contradictory man accused of domestic violence, genius in the study, who discovered Eminem and Snoop Dogg -the two, incidentally, will visit Argentina in the next March- Lollapalooza. Delayed and brilliant new album, Compton: A Soundtrack by Dr. Dre, is not the soundtrack but the music inspired by Straight Outta Compton, the very partial NWA biopic about his legendary group of 90, he produces, It grossed over $ 200 million worldwide and is already achieved now.

No one knows the man who makes the final decisions. Dr. Dre, the producer of hip hop’s most successful of all time, takes care of his image as if it were gold. The times are short: His real name Andre Young is 50 years and remains healthy with an exercise routine of three hours daily. Last year, Apple paid three billion dollars Beats headphones company and high-end speakers which he founded with his partner Jimmy Iovine years. In turn, he bought the mansion Dre Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady in Brentwood, Los Angeles, and recording studio complex in Sherman Oaks coming renting. Forbes estimated his fortune in 2015 was set at $ 700 million.

Although it would be impossible, if you stop making money today, Dr. Dre would not feel it. It announced that royalties for his new album is going to donate to build a performing arts center in his hometown. Compton: A Soundtrack by Dr. Dre, is not the soundtrack of the film Straight Outta Compton, but the result of the inspiration that caused the filming of the story of his old group NWA – “Black with attitude”, practically a public enemy in the second half of the ’80s -. Dre, MC and actor Ice Cube, and the widow of the drug dealer-turned rapper Eazy-E, are the producers of the biopic released in August, and raised seven times the millions it cost.

“When we started it was not for the money, it was for the love of music. If you treat her right, she will be treated well. If your only goal is money, your time will be limited, “Dre said recently in an interview to the group that made them Kendrick Lamar for Billboard. Besides local Compton, Kendrick is the last natural talent that prevailed in the mainstream after signing with Aftermath, Dre’s label directed since 1996. “Whoever comes, how difficult is to stay,” says the mentor in his speech at the last Kendrick disk. In return, the king of hip hop west coast rap on three songs from the new album Dre, and as it can not be otherwise, it makes own. Dr. Dre does not have that kind of ego: in only three albums in 30 years signed many MCs and singers participate not counting the credits of production that blurs responsibility

Although the flow is. dramatic and quirky, rap is not the main activity Dre, why not write letters or does so with care: he not discredited. “I have a house with a studio full of tracks to add to the wall full of plaques,” says “Forgot About Dre”, a classic with its principal protected Eminem. Before becoming the most popular rap star of all time-the first white MC to talk to the pain and violence of blacks, Dre Eminem came to the suggestion of Jimmy Iovine, and it was scandalous that the pope hip hop industry will pay attention to a blond with blue eyes. Meanwhile, Dre came supporting the rumored that took for finishing after his solo debut The Chronic important (1992).

That album went dirty and aggressive lyrical gangsta rap inaugurated by NWA, and musically is credited with having opened the G-funk, funky style base slowed, full of synthesizers, rapping with a relaxed flow like Snoop Dogg, artist debuted on that album and to this friend and collaborator. Their undisputed expertise in the control table, especially for mixtures and sequences, hence the “doctor” in the first place, Dre works like clockwork with the MCs. Good listener, detect what does not close, indicate exactly what he wants. It is an obsessive who has come to spend 80 hours in the studio cum preparing a hit.

In 1999-months after the release of The Slim Shady, Eminem first by Aftermath and still one of the albums more sold in the history of the genre, Dr. Dre introduced 2001 and started his own century in which most commercial rap onwards important no doubt. To that end disk he replied literally and figuratively to the haters and enemies that came with success. Married for three years, he spoke freely of sex-there is a skit called “Pause 4 Porno” where the end of a listening grupal- intercourse, and also to continue with the theme of the shots and drugs, explained his feelings as never in a song dedicated to his brother Tyree, killed by police in 1990 while he was on tour with NWA

The 2001 production is exquisite, the result of an advanced mind, a fanatic heart of soul of 70s and a blank check budget. Dr. Dre recently learned to read and write music. He loves the keys in all its forms but is much better for those who touch it. Overall samplea as little as possible and try to recreate the melodies that interest with live musicians; or puts them to improvise any of its listed beats until he gets an idea or something comes along that catches his eye. Dre for his best album is always ahead, why I could not stop working despite the millions. “All I think is to make classics to the masses,” he said in 2015 on the album that launched in place that had been announced for 16 years and finally he resigned because “did not feel in the body.”

Apparently Compton is the final disk. With the crossing of experienced producers and very fresh, the appearance of endearing voices -Snoop, Eminem- and others will seize the moment if -King Mez career, Anderson Paak-, the soundtrack is not such but not exist if not made the hit biopic on the season is proof that Dre, as always, is up to date in every way. And today police violence and discrimination against African Americans is topic in the news and in black music (Black Messiah of D’Angelo and Pimp To A Butterfly Kendrick Lamar are fundamental testimony this year). Dr. Dre would not leave the world a trivial disk.

Compton is the eighth most violent city in the United States according to the FBI. In the mid-80s, also he lived the explosion of crack and the war between dealers and police daily and it was bloody. In the first scene of Straight Outta Compton -same debut NWA- name Eazy-E escape a raid. The main songwriter of the group, played by Ice Cube his son, is presented above collective attacked by gang members. Finally, Dr. Dre -built as a much more focused than it is known that was- person appears in a calmer context lying on the floor listening to “Everybody Loves The Sunshine” by Roy Ayers. The conflict there -sola puts the mother with a more-son, requiring him look for normal work and bring money home, despising the $ 50 Dre had done the night before as DJ. Then yes, in a scene outside the club The Loft, Dre violent and unjustified arrest him (they used to speeding). A pay bail Eazy and Dre outside the station proposes investing their dirty money on a stamp. That was narrated the birth of Ruthless Records, still alive thanks to Tomica Wright, who inherited when Eazy died of AIDS in 1995.

Obviously for his role as producer-participation essential to portray Eazy- Tomica is the only woman takes some credit in the film, to sort the papers ending to convince her husband that the manager had been cheating. Dre shows how he met his current Nicole woman, but not the singer R & B Michel’le, in addition to providing his voice in several productions of Ruthless and then Death Row, was the then-girlfriend and mother of his third son, born in 1991 (the first two were with different women, one died of an overdose in 2008). “What I was going to put me? If I was just silent girlfriend who beat him and told him to sit down and shut up, “she said in a recent television interview. Neither figure appears as a protected Eazy Ruthless, the blonde MC Tairrie B, who also confessed that Dre hit -in Grammy Party 1990, the year of his album Power Of A Woman -.

accusations the journalist met Dee Barnes, star of the renowned -omitido episode in the film that almost Dre hangs to the floor of a bathroom. Ice Cube in 1991-the first to realize the murky handling of the money of Jerry Heller, manager- had left the NWA, and the journalist, who knew rappers from before the group was formed – “were my brothers” He says, led a music program without their consent aired Cube ridiculing his former teammates. “My life changed the night I attacked Dre Barnes wrote in the blog Gawker, which assures that henceforth became part of a blacklist that locked his development professionally. People tell me that I cling to the past. It is not like this; is that last left me a souvenir that I never wanted to, “he says on migraine sufferer in the exact spot where the night his head hit the bathroom wall. The anecdotal and striking detail is that the person who filmed the segment is the director of Straight Outta Compton, Gary Gray.

A few days after the article published Barnes, Dr. Dre apologized in New York Times to all women who had hurt: “I deeply regret what I did and I know that affected our lives forever. 25 years ago was a young man who drank too much alcohol and had no structures in life. However, it is no excuse for what I did. I am married 19 years ago and I strive to be a better man for my family and not to be like the one I left. ” Michel’le, who always spoke of abuse but only now pay attention, believes that if the apologies were sincere privately ask: “Is selling a movie,” said

Physical violence aside, Straight outta. Compton is consistent with the historical chauvinism of hip hop when not even mention the female group JJ Fad, that with the success of the album Supersonic (1988), produced by the NWA- own legitimacy and money it took to seal before “the world’s most dangerous group” was banned on the radio. “Ruthless should thank them,” said the LA Times the former manager Jerry Heller, while preparing their own reports on the time and assesses whether it will initiate actions by the way it was represented. One of the daughters of Eazy-E also give another version of events with a documentary. “History has been rewritten from the Bible,” minimizes its absence in the film the MC and producer Arabian Prince, who was part of the original formation of NWA and he claims to have participated in at least half of all narrated. Meanwhile, the rest of the band Ren and DJ -MC Yella- is credited as consultants and weft as secondary characters. So entertaining but absolutely partial and refined, Straight Outta Compton ends up being a biopic for beginners. You will remember in the future today pubescent hip hop fans

NWA It was much more important than it is on screen. For them spread worldwide gangsta rap, rap immoral speaking truths as the original protest of the east coast, but assumes its own violence, illegality and interest in money. “If N.w.a would not have been smoother attention would not have worked, “Dre told Billboard about the harshness of the group remembered for the hit” Fuck tha Police, “which earned them a threatening letter from the FBI. Of these, Eazy-E was the real bully if he wanted, but about had much darker characters. If the devil exists, could be Suge Knight, the giant that convinced Dre move to Death Row when monetary scam manager was obvious.

Within that record, Dr. Dre released The Chronic and recorded legend Tupac Shakur. Before the murder of Tupac in 1996, he had chosen to leave Dre Suge Knight 50 million dollars for such mafia peel (now in prison for running over and killing two of them in a confused altercation on the set of Straight outta Compton, where he was not invited). . At that time mythical movie stops: the end of the Death Row era and the beginning of true empire, the Aftermath label

In the film one song from the new album Dre appears, the more confessional Compton. “I feel strong, financially, physically and mentally. I’m on another level. And do not forget I’m from the ghetto, “says” Talking To My Diary “. If the rappers say the truth in the lyrics, Dr. Dre will remain a mystery. Such as performer is not your thing, the study will remain decades of activity. Especially when lower the level of exposure for the film and then be that big name behind great albums. The famous producer who becomes better everything it touches. Which testeaba discs in the car-because that’s where most music-listening and finished overseeing the basement of the best wireless speakers on the market.
