Biography, life story of Dr. Dre

Dr. Dre (Andre Romell Young) is an American rapper and music producer.

Introduction

At the mere mention of his name, the entire East Coast of America has an attack of hatred and fear, the monsters of old-school hip-hop take off their hats to his work, the most venerable sharks of modern show business envy his production talent, and young talents themselves ask to come under his wing. He is not used to defending his rightness with the help of fists and demonstration of weapons, which some gansta rap figures are adept at; he prefers to prove his toughness through his armor-piercing lyrics and aggressive music. Our story is about one of the pillars of hip-hop culture, the pioneer of gangsta rap and G-funk, the legendary musician and producer Dr. Dre.

Having rejected the radical political stereotypes imposed on the hip-hop public in the early 80s by black radicals from Public Enemy, rejecting intelligent slogans about tolerance, the social significance of hardcore rap and the fact that “whites” are to blame for all the troubles of “blacks,” Dre clearly demonstrated to America that his dark-skinned brothers are also not immune, and only they themselves are the masters of their own destiny (real niggaz rule the world). Street fights, dirt, sex, violence, drugs, murders became an integral part of his lyrics. Dre deliberately took the path of self-exposure of all mortal sins, not only in order to demonstrate self-sufficiency and his own toughness, but also in order to show society the real truth of life that reigns on the streets of America.

With his appearance on the big stage, it became clear that rap is not only a kind of religion for African Americans, but, on top of that, it is a serious business, a lot of money and all the pros and cons that flow from it.

Childhood and youth

Dr. Dre, aka Andre Young, was born on February 18, 1965 in Los Angeles. Andre became the first child of two young lovers Verna and Theodore. At the time of the birth of his son, Verne was only 16 years old... After Andre appeared, the lovers got married, but already in 1968 the couple divorced. Verna later found herself a new husband, Curtis Crayon.

In 1976, Andre began attending Vanguard Junior High School; a little later, due to the high crime rate near the school, he had to transfer to Roosevelt Junior High School. At the same time, his mother divorced and married for the third time to work colleague Warren Griffin. Verna and Warren had children - three girls and one boy.

In 1979, Andre was kicked out of Centennial High School due to poor performance and transferred to Fremont High School. Andre already understood that studying was not for him, and tried to find a job at an airline, but nothing came of this idea. As a result, during his last school years, the young man spent most of his time not in classes, but at noisy parties, where he earned his living as a disc jockey.

Career

He began his creative activity, like most rappers, with a DJ career, mixing records in the World Class Wreckin "" Cru team in clubs in his hometown, the starting point of which was Eve After Dark. At the same time, he tried to write something down on his own, doing it literally on his knees, or rather, on his hands. In a small room on a four-track tape recorder, he created his debut recordings with future NWA partners Yella and Lonzo Williams. The first of these was Surgery, a simple house track with the repeated phrase Calling Dr. Dre To Surgery. Actually, it was then that Andre took the pseudonym Dr. Dre.

In 1986, he meets another future cult hip-hop character - (), and the two friends begin recording their tracks on Ruthless Records, a label organized by a drug dealer. Soon the idea of ​​creating a team NWA (Niggaz With Attitude) with Dre at the head comes to mind. In 1987, the team released the first N.W.A album. And The Posse. A year later, the controversial album Straight Outta Compton was released, deprived of any support on radio and TV due to its vicious lyrics, it overnight became an underground hit. Thanks to the composition with the unambiguous name Fuck The Police, the guys are hooked by the FBI: specialists strongly recommend that the recording companies Ruthless and Priority closely monitor the work of their charges.

Most of NWA's political troubles came to naught after they decided to go free at the end of 1989 due to financial disagreements in the team. after leaving, he became the formal leader, responsible for the fact that the group, with its last two records, was increasingly approaching parody levels. At that time, almost all the music was already in Dre's hands. Both the EP 100 Miles and Runnin" (1990) and the album Efil4zaggin (Niggaz 4 Life Reverse) (1991) - Dre filled with a special explosive mixture of hip-hop rhythms and funk harmonies, which, coupled with funny lyrics, again allowed N.W.A to be on top charts. At the peak of NWA's popularity in 1991, Dre made an attempt to leave the group. The following year, Dre, together with Suge Knight, created the label Death Row Records ("Death Row"). According to legend, in order to finally resolve all relations with NWA, Suge Knight did not philosophizing slyly, he put a gun to the head of the team manager and threatened to kill the poor fellow: from that moment on, all contracts between Dre and NWA were canceled.Dre set off on his own to navigate the waves of hip-hop.

In the spring of 1992, his first single, Deep Cover, was released, which not only demonstrated Dre's achievements in the field of his own style of G-funk, but also laid the foundation for a collaboration with another iconic figure of gangsta rap (). Actually, Dre met thanks to his half-brother Warren G (remember his remake of Prince Igor). Through joint efforts, Dre's debut album The Chronic was released in the same year. It is not surprising that with such action films as Nuthin" But A "G"" Thang, Dre Day and Let Me Ride, plastic soon went multi-platinum, and the Dre phenomenon was talked about outside the States. The next four years, a new wave of hip-hop as undermined took its inspiration from the work of Professor G-funk.In addition to the famous work Doggystyle (1993), through the efforts of Dre, several soundtracks were recorded, including the music for the films Above the Rim and Murder Was the Case (1994), he prepared for the release of the albums Warren G ( Regulate) and Blackstreet, and other equally famous black performers. It is worth mentioning his reunion with an old friend on the Natural Born Killaz project. During this time, he did not record a single record, but manipulated almost the entire West Coast rap scene, because Since then, Death Row has become a powerful recording corporation that controls the fate of the global hip-hop movement.The label's problems began after the release of Tupac's (2-Pac Shakur) album All Eyez on Me, which featured the super hit of the 90s California Love, jointly performed by Dre and Shakur. Soon he was accused of murder, Dre was extremely dissatisfied with the policies pursued by Knight within Death Row - the time had come for another parting with the goose that laid the golden eggs.

In the summer of 1996, Dre publicly declared that gangsta rap was dead and created a new company, Aftermath, under the caustic ridicule and serious attacks of his former colleagues. Soon, the insatiable Knight ends up in jail on charges of racketeering, while Dre, meanwhile, releases his first collection, Dr., on a new label. Dre Presents...The Aftermath, which received flattering reviews in the press, but never found its mass listener, despite the presence of hits like Been There Done That. The collapse of Death Row confirmed the validity of Dr. Dre as America's most serious producer.

In 1998, the rapper came across a recording of a white boy (), who at that time was eking out a semi-beggarly condition, in which Dre saw the future superstar of world hip-hop and gave him a chance, releasing his record The Slim Shady LP, which turned the ears of all of America. The union with finally cemented Dre's fame as a real monster of the hip-hop industry, which was facilitated by the release of his cult album "2001" in 1999, in the recording of which such prominent personalities of hip-hop culture as , and , and the re-release of Chronic in 2001 took part The result of the Doctor's many years of work in the field of rap music was that he was awarded a Grammy in 2001 as the best producer (plus another Golden Gramophone for a duet with his “adopted son”

Young created a new direction in music - G-funk.

The musician known under the pseudonym Dr Dre was born in Los Angeles on February 18, 1965. The parents named their son Andre Romell Young. At that time, the rapper's mother, Verna, was 16 years old. After the birth, the musician’s parents entered into an alliance. It is known that the name Romell was given to the producer by his father Theodore, who was a fan of the music group The Romells.

Three years later, due to irreconcilable differences, Vernet and Theodore divorced. Andre's family lived in a disadvantaged area. At first, the young man went to Vanguard Junior High School, but due to high crime rates, Vernet transferred her son to Roosevelt Junior High School.

While the future billionaire was studying science, his mother conquered Warren Griffin, whom she later married. The couple met in Long Beach. Thanks to this marriage, DrDre had three sisters and a brother. Verne's second son performs on stage under the pseudonym Warren G.

The rapper changed one school for another. In 1979, the young man ended up at Centennial High School, from where the musician was expelled for poor performance. Andre had to go to Fremont High School. Even during his school years, the young man tried to find a job, but, having been refused by the airline, decided to devote his time to music.

Music

At some point, fate throws the musician into the Eve After Dark club. The young man is inspired by the work of local DJs and the performances of rappers. Here, an important meeting for Dr Dre’s biography took place with like-minded person Antoine Carraby. This became the reason for the appearance of the world famous pseudonym.

Gradually, the rapper’s musical creativity continues to develop. With his colleague Ice Cube, the guy records songs that belong to the Ruthless Records label. The young people decided to organize a group of rappers. Ice Cube and Dr Dre invited Eazy-E, Arabian Prince, MC Ren and DJ Yella to the team. The guys attributed the music they performed to the new genre of “gangster rap.”

Fame overtook the guys quickly, as the musicians offered listeners something different from what rappers had done before. The group's tracks contained obscene words and tragic stories. The disc, which was released under the name “Straight Outta Compton,” was also expected to be an incredible success. The song “Fuck the Police” became popular among young boys and teenagers.

Another twist of fate forces Dr Dre to go solo. Collaboration with the owner of the record company Death Row Records is bearing fruit. In 1991, a new round of the rapper's musical career began. And this happened after the release of a duet with Snoop Dogg. A year later, the world heard Dr Dre's first solo album, The Chronic.

Now the musician used a unique G-funk style in his work, which quickly gained popularity in the rap environment. By 1995, relations with Death Row were heating up, so the rapper left the company and formed the Aftermath Entertainment label.

Young planned to develop as a rapper, but did not forget about his own label. In 1998, thanks to his acquaintance with producer Jimmy Iovine, Dr Dre invited a talented guy from Detroit, Eminem, under his wing.

It's time for the rapper's second solo album to be released. The official presentation took place in November 1999. Dr Dre called the disc "2001". To work on hits, the musician invited friends, including Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Xzibit. This record featured the song “The next episode.”

Sales of the album broke records, so it became platinum 6 times. Even 5 years of oblivion did not affect the rapper’s popularity. This record contains hits, including “Forgot About Dre”, “Still D.R.E.” The year 2000 turned out to be successful for the rapper. The young man was recognized as Best Producer of the Year and awarded a Grammy.

20 years of work and only two solo albums. Dr Dre planned to release a third disc called "Detox". This record was supposed to be the end of the rapper's career. During one of the news broadcasts on MTV, Young shared information about “Detox.” According to Dr Dre, this disc will be a concept one. But work on the record was completed, and the hits never saw the light of day.

The rapper's entire focus was on producing young and talented musicians. After much deliberation, Dr Dre finally decided to present the album to the world, but in 2005. And again delays. As a result, the release date was set for 2009. DJ Khalil, Nottz, Bernard “Focus” Edwards Jr. participated in the creation of compositions for the record.

The story with the album “Detox” took a lot of time and effort from Dr Dre. The author admitted already in October 2009 that he had been working on this disc for 10 years. The musician moved the release date to 2010. Friend and performer The Game said that this record will be incredible, driving millions of fans crazy.

And now 2010 comes, but there are no rumors about the release of a new disc from Dr Dre. By the end of the year, fans of the rapper’s work heard the song “I Need a Doctor.” Eminem and Skylar Gray participated in the recording of the track. The guys shot a video and presented the video in February 2011.

Thanks to this work, the musician’s fans learned that the creative lull was the result of an accident that Dr Dre had in 2001, which later led to a coma. All this time, Eminem was next to the rapper, who helped him cope with the problems. But the world never saw “Detox”.

For some time there was no news about the musician. In August 2015, the official presentation of Dr Dre’s third disc “Compton” took place. Concurrently, the hits from this album turned out to be the soundtrack for the film “Voice of the Streets.” Critics positively assessed the rapper's work. In 2016, the musician presented unreleased tracks.

Personal life

When Dr Dre just turned 16, friend Lisa Johnson announced that the teenager was going to become a father. The boy's parents named him Curtis. Now the guy is known in the musical community under the pseudonym Hood Surgeon. The relationship with Johnson did not last long.

In 1988, Young dated Jenita Potter. The girl gave birth to the rapper's second son, who was named Andre Young Jr. But at the age of 20, the young man died suddenly. The media reported that the cause of the death of Dr Dre's son was an overdose of heroin and morphine.

Already in 1990, the musician met Michelle. The girl represented the Death Row Records label. Soon the couple had a son named Marcel, but the lovers' relationship lasted only 6 years. The guys decided to live separately.

Andre couldn’t grieve alone for a long time, so he proposed marriage to Nicole Srit. A year later, the couple had a boy, who was named Truth, and in 2001, there was another addition to the Dr. Dre family. Now the couple has introduced their daughter Truly to the world.
