DR.DRE


Considered by many to be hip-hop's greatest producer, Dr. Dre ( Andre Romell Young, born February 18, 1965) pioneered gangsta hip-hop and his own variation of the sound, dubbed G-Funk. His very early albums were violent but cautionary tales of the criminal mind, but Dre's records with NWA celebrated the hedonistic, amoralistic side of gang life




This Dr.dre when he was first started making music it was by luck that he met Ice Cube and together they worked on songs for ruthless records which was record label run by Eazy-E. As we can see from the picture you can see that Dre was a big part of the gang culture and that was they style he had when he started creating music and this shone through in the songs he used to make. Dre stuck with the Hip-Hop gangsta look for many years and people say this was a very big part of his character in those days and it added to the credibility in his music.






This was Dre in 1992 he was a big star now in the rap game thanks to the songs he released through ruthless records there was a financial dispute there so he then moved to Death row records and was one of the best selling artists of 1993 which eventually led to him winning a Grammy for the single 'let me ride' as you can see from the picture he kept his hip-hop gangsta persona and his music was still of the same genre he was always a big part of the gangsta genre and when he was 17 he had his oldest son who is now 33 with his girlfriend who was 16 years old at the time.



this is Dr.dre playing Paul in the film training day in 2001 in the film he still has his hip-hop persona which shows that he was not even going to change his personality even for a film and this proved to be a wise decision as the movie proved to be a big hit at the box office and most people say this was down to the persona and presence his character Paul brought to the movie.



this is Dr.dre in 2003 and he has now stopped rapping songs himself and he know owns his own record label he now produces songs and is so good he is announced as the godfather of the G-funk at this time he became a little more style and fashion trend conscious and began to move from the hip hop persona that has surrounded him for years.



Here is Dr.dre in 2011 as you can see he has been putting in a lot of gym work he said he did this because he wanted the world to see he was a perfectionist and that every thing that he does he puts his heart and soul into it he has also had had a style change and know has more of a business look and he has left the hip-hop look and is now more formal but this all comes with being a billionaire.
