I can remember when I was just, like, about four years old in Compton, and my mother would have me stack 45s, stack about ten of them, and when one would finish, the next record would drop. It was like I was DJ'ing for the house, picking out certain songs and so this song would go after that song.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
The race factor was just a minuscule part of what I was doing with Eminem. It was really about the music and how well we worked together.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
I don't make records so I can sit down afterward and listen to them. I make them so other people can sit down and listen to them.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
Everything in my life has been about sound and making music, so Beats represents just that - the improvement of sound and the dedication to everything I've been doing from the day I started.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
I can't see myself ever spending hundreds of thousands on anything that doesn't come with a toilet.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
One of the first people that believed in me, the first person to invest in my talent, me and this guy used to argue all the time in the studio, but at the end of the day, we both realized that we were after the same goal, and that was to make great music. And I'm talking about Eazy-E.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
I had between 20 and 40 songs for 'Detox,' and I just couldn't feel it. Usually, I can hear the sequence of an album as I'm going, but I wasn't able to do that. I wasn't feeling it in my gut.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
It's always been difficult to make a good record. To be perfectly honest with you, it's really about the person that's pushing the buttons. No matter what type of equipment you have, you still have to have a certain talent to be able to make a good record.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
Kendrick Lamar is the real deal. He's a real artist, and he's gonna be here for awhile because this guy is seriously talented.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
I always loved the way music made me feel. I did sports at school and all, but when I got home, it was just music. Everybody in my neighborhood loved music. I could jump the back fence and be in the park where there were ghetto blasters everywhere.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
Engineering and mixing are absolutely key. Once a song is done, for me personally, it's usually two or three days to get the mix down.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
Everything that I do is for sound goals. It comes from my gut. When I'm sitting in the studio, a mix isn't done till I feel it in my gut.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
Kids are the ultimate form of motivation. They're watching. They're mimicking. They're an extension of you. So you have to win.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
If you know anything about me and my history, you know I'm very particular about my projects.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
In L.A., we listen to everything. If it's banging, it's banging - we don't care where it's from.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
I just want people to hear the music the way it's suppose to sound, the way we meant for them to hear it. You sit in the studio all this time and make the music, tweak it, try to get it perfect. They should be able to hear it that way.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
'Straight Outta Compton' is the album I'm least happy with. I threw it together in six weeks so we could have something to sell out of the trunk.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
In fact, I would advise against anyone doing reality shows. I won't be doing 'X Factor' just yet.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
No matter where you are or what you're doing, it's always great if you don't have to get up and physically change the song that plays next.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
I've gotten my personal life all the way intact and made sure that it's straight. Without that, you have no foundation. Your building is going to crumble.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
The original version of 'Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang' was made to a Boz Scaggs song; I can't remember the name of the song.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs is a hustler. In fact, he's what I call an extreme hustler.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
It's a very interesting thing because I can start mixing a song and leave the room and come back and maybe just slide one lever to a certain point, and it just - it's a certain feeling that it gives you when you know it's right.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
I realized at a young age that sequence in an album is almost as important as the songs that are on the album.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
I'm not no egotistical person. I just want what I'm supposed to get. Not a penny more, not a penny less.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
No matter what type of equipment you have, you still have to have a certain talent to be able to make a good record.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
I don't take any shorts. I don't say, 'Okay, it's good enough.' I try to get exactly what I'm hearing in my head to the tape, and I won't let it move until then.
Quote by -Dr. Dre
I would go to sleep with headphones on. My mom and pop - they would have music loud enough to shake the walls.
