You can be one of the best in your field and yet afford to refuse to work with your idols. This is particularly the case of… Dr. Dre. The immense Californian rapper and producer, considered an infallible pillar of the rap scene across the Atlantic, made some revelations to comedian Kevin Hart during a filmed interview available on the platform Peacock. Faced with the famous humorist, the artist, now 58 years old, who was part of the legendary NWA collective, discussed many subjects, and in particular the multiple collaborations he was able to do during his vast career.

The opportunity to also address the subject of those who have never seen the light of day. And there, Dr. Dre simply reveals the unthinkable. Thus, the artist to whom we owe in particular the immense classics “The Chronic” (1992) and “2001” (1999), as well as the more mixed “Compton: A Soundtrack by Dr. Dre” (2015) lists the artists with whom he refused to work. Among them, we find in particular … Prince, Michael Jackson or Stevie Wonder!

“They are my heroes“
Namely stars with tens of millions of records sold internationally, unforgettable icons and singers who have revolutionized the music industry while influencing artists around the world. But what might Dr. Dre have in mind when he declined these impossible-to-refuse offers? Well, it is above all a matter of respect. “What am I going to do with them in the studio? These are my goddamn heroes“, replied the rapper on this subject.
>> For Black M, Michael Jackson is “still alive” and the Americans have never been to the Moon <
It must be said that these featuring, not necessarily obvious on paper although exciting, would have been a risk-taking as much for the producer as for the singers, and might, in the event of failure, taint the almost immaculate discographies of the various protagonists. Only, today, no one will be able to judge the result. And maybe it’s better that way.
