Dr. Dre
Real Name : Andre Young
Birthdate : Feb 18, 1965
Sign : Aquarius
Hometown : Los Angeles, USA

Dr. DRE Biography : Dre (born Andre Young, February 18, 1965) became involved in hip-hop during the early ’80s, He started off as a D.J for parties as a teenager, and soon earned himself a spot in the "Eve After Dark" club, performing at house parties and clubs with the World Class Wreckin’ Cru around South Central Los Angeles and making a handful of recordings along the way. He was raised in Compton, and got his nickname by adoring basketball superstar, Dr. J.
His step-brother is Warren G. His brother got killed in a fight while Dre was on tour with N.W.A "My brother was my best friend. He was three years younger than me." Dre tells of being on the road when he received a phone call with the bad news. "You never forget that."

Once a member of the rather anonymous group, "World Class Wreckin’ Cru", Dr Dre earned himself a name by producing tracks for Eazy-E, the D.O.C and others, and later became a gangsta rap pioneer as a co-founder, member, co-producer and rapper in the controversial group, N.W.A. (Niggaz With Attitude). With N.W.A. he melded the noise collages of the Bomb Squad with funky rhythms. On his own, he reworked George Clinton’s elastic funk into the self-styled G-funk, a slow-rolling variation that relied more on sound than content. When he left N.W.A. in 1992, he founded Death Row Records with Suge Knight, and shortly after released "The Chronic" (1992), which sold over three million copies, won two Grammy Awards, and is still considered to be one of the most influential rap albums ever. The album introduced the new Death Row artists, such as Snoop Doggy Dogg and Tha Dogg Pound. The following Death Row album, Snoop Doggy Dogg’s "Doggystyle", was produced by Dr. Dre, and sold four million copies.
Soon, most rap records imitated its sound, and his productions for Snoop Doggy Dogg and Blackstreet were massive hits.
In 1994 he directed the short film "Murder Was The Case", and co-produced the soundrack.

In 1995 he left Death Row, and started his own label, "Aftermath Entertainment", a joint venture with Interscope Records. Dre’s first album for Aftermath, the various-artists collection Dr. Dre Presents...The Aftermath received considerable media attention, but the record didn’t become a hit. There were also rumors of an N.W.A. reunion, but it seems that Dre was not interested...

Dr Dre, by Hearthe5ohroar [2006-01-02 14:29:57]

I’m starting to think that this Detox anticipation is starting to stir the music industry almost as much as the anticipation of Tupac’s return (which didn’t happen, as we all knew deep down that it wouldn’t). He def. holds the gavel in the music industry right now. But for the love of god, lets hope he brings it down soon.

> Dr Dre, by A-Man [2005-12-18 20:02:59]

Dre iz tha best. His songs like, Nothin’ But a G Thang Rat-Tat-Tat-Tat Still D.R.E. Bang Bang The Next Episode Dre Day and The Day When Niggaz Took Over are the best. Keep up the good work Dre. I’m waiting so much for that Detox, but I’m going to let Dre work with his last album as much as he wants. He just wants to make it perfect and I respect that. I want to hear perfect rap. :) Oh yeah one thing, You don’t have Dres albums on the list : Concrete Roots and Dr. Dre & Friends.
