Anderson.Paak is gearing up to release his new 'Oxnard' album on November 16th. Stopping by The Angie Martinez show he spoke about the new project which was produced by Dr. Dre, his good friend Mac Miller & the importance of voting in the midterm elections today.
While Vital Signs is Apple's first TV show, there were rumors over the summer that the company had produced music videos in-house for several popular songs on Apple Music, including Drake's. Q-Tip and Dr. Dre co-produced the funky song (along with Focus). In the opening verse, Anderson mourns his collaborator, Mac Miller, while talking about where he’s at and where he’s trying.
Hip-hop artist Dr. Dre’s controversial and storied past was bound to become an issue for Apple at some point after it bought the company he co-founded for last year.
Now Apple is hoping it can let the rapper’s history live in the past, which is especially tricky as it promotes the biofilm “Compton” depicting the rapper’s entrance into fame. The biographical film, which was produced with close cooperation from Dr. Dre, has been criticized for omitting decades old allegations that the artist physically abused women. Today both Dr. Dre and Apple released statements addressing the controversy, Dre saying that he deeply apologizes for his actions 25 years ago and adding that “it has forever impacted all of our lives” while Apple said that “we have every reason to believe that he has changed.”.
The statements were given to The New York Times that accompanies specific details about the allegations. Dre’s full statement reads: “Twenty-five years ago I was a young man drinking too much and in over my head with no real structure in my life. However, none of this is an excuse for what I did. I’ve been married for 19 years and every day I’m working to be a better man for my family, seeking guidance along the way. I’m doing everything I can so I never resemble that man again. I apologize to the women I’ve hurt.
I deeply regret what I did and know that it has forever impacted all of our lives.” An Apple spokesperson added: “Dre has apologized for the mistakes he’s made in the past and he’s said that he’s not the same person that he was 25 years ago. We believe his sincerity and after working with him for a year and a half, we have every reason to believe that he has changed.” The statements are rather awkward for Apple for multiple reasons. Apple Music has used the film “Compton” and, which is carried exclusively, to heavily and the music subscription service. Apple has even commissioned a with ‘Straight Outta Compton’ branding to mark the film’s release.
While the film sparked the controversy that eventually caused Apple to address Dre’s past, the record itself contains a highly graphic fictional skit depicting an argument between a male and female that ends with the woman screaming and gun shots. Still, Apple has used Dr. Dre’s album, the first in 15 years, to show Apple Music’s weight as a streaming music service that can deliver exclusive content to fans. According to Apple, Dr. Dre’s record was during the first week alone. youtube Apple bought the Beats by Dre headphone and speaker line plus Beats Music which is the foundation for Apple Music last year for $3 billion.
“What’s crazy is that when I did for Kris Krosshadn’t even come out,” Dupri told Cipher host Shawn Setaro. Referring to Dr.
Dre’s lead single from. “Jump” released in February; Dre dropped in November. “In ’92, I don’t think ‘G Thang’ had come out at the time when Kris Kross came out.
So I actually was doing that sound before Dr. Dre even started exploiting that type of sound. Those 1970s Funk records just resonated to me.” “Jump” would be Kris Kross’ sole #1 single, and double platinum at that. “Nuthin’ But A ‘G’ Thang” peaked at #2, earning a platinum badge. The Cipher hones in on JD’s influence by Dre’s overall sound though. While Totally Krossed Out predates The Chronic, sampled Dre’s late-1980s production with Ruthless Records.
“That’s Ice Cube and Eazy-E, connected from samples,” points out JD, who blended the two N.W.A. Members’ voices to make the song’s chorus. Notably, Erick Sermon—who appeared alongside DJ Quik on the alleged subliminal Dre diss had also used many Zapp, Ohio Players, and Kool & The Gang samples on EPMD and Redman records in the 1980s and early 1990s. In the interview discussion—if “exploit” is the word JD intended, it’s the latest development in a longstanding and curious relationship between him and Dre. In 2001, Dupri told XXL magazine that he was the best producer, “That’s my mentality music wise,”. “Whether it be Puff or anybody that people wanna call my competition, I will take them out.
Hands down, ain’t nobody in the industry that can do what I do. Not Dre, not Timbaland, not nobody.” The Compton, California mogul responded on calling Dupri a “mini-me” and adding, “ Over 80 million records sold, and I ain’t have to do it with ten or eleven-year-olds.” That last line is interesting too.
In the interview, Dupri reminds people that one of his star pupils, Lil Bow Wow, was previously a Death Row Records artist. Bow Wow, who appeared on “The Arsenio Hall Show” in the mid-1990s with Snoop Dogg and Suge Knight, would make his debut appearance on —an album produced by Dre, selling more than four million certified copies. Bow Wow was six when that Death Row LP released.
“Bow Wow’s first name was called ‘Lil Gangsta.’ He was signed to Death Row Records,” confirms JD. “On Snoop Doggy Dogg’s Doggstyle, when interlude takes place in the classroom, that’s Bow Wow. Bow Wow’s mindset of what he wanted to do was be a gangsta or lil’ hardcore rapper.” Bow Wow also made a brief appearance in the “Gin & Juice” music video.
JD says he saw more for the Columbus, Ohio native. “I knew he could be bigger if he cleaned it up and did the different ideas we had.” After Doggystyle, Death Row launched a 1994 campaign against JD, and his So So Def artists, including Da Brat and JD. In, they clowned (with Snoop Dogg and Big C-Style), the Atlanta, Georgia-based stars.
In the lyrics Daz chided that those acts were “gankin’ styles” the Death Row sound and look. From the, that was a Dr. Dre-executed project. In the 2000s, Dupri signed the same artist who dissed him, to a Virgin/EMI-distributed solo project. 2006’s marked the second-highest charting position of Daz’s solo career.
JD produced five of the album’s 12 tracks. “I actually wasn’t trying to change Daz Dillinger. I signed him specifically because I heard a mixtape of him and Kurupt as Tha Dogg Pound did. I was like, ‘I need Daz signed. He’s so good.' ” Jermaine champions the lyrical abilities of the MC/producer who made his debut on The Chronic.

“‘Cause when Daz is on his shit, he’s got a style that can’t be matched. I was looking for that.” The interview manages to cover an astounding amount of JD’s prolific career, beginning with his involvement with Whodini in the historic Fresh Fest Tour of the mid-’80s, his memories of Keith Haring, remaking for Mariah Carey, how unreleased TLC music influenced their entire discography, using his own life material for album, Slick Rick being his favorite rapper, and much more. Heads can see more of Jermaine Dupri on television, by way of his two programs.
