If you work at rap and look at it as an art, the money will come. But if you try to get the money, it'll just always be shallow.

More quotes 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.

I got Ice Cube his start. I also launched Eazy-E.
Dr. Dre

I want to set the record straight for everybody who's been waiting to hear my music. The song that's out on the internet is an incomplete song that I'm still working on. When it's ready, you'll be hearing it from me.

I don't even listen to the records after they come out. It's outlawed in my house. My wife and my kids can't play any of my music around me. Once it comes out, for me, it's just business. Numbers.

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.

Before now, I've always taken my mixes out to the car and listened to them in the parking lot. I still do that, but more so now I'm listening to it on the Beat box, and I think people should give it at least a listen and check it out and see what it is.

It's always weird when people approach me to make an investment. I tell them, 'I don't need any more money. I'm good.' Then I wait for their expression. That part is entertaining, because people look at you like you're crazy when you say you don't need any more money. Who says that?

You got to realise that when I was 20 years old, I had a house, a Mercedes, a Corvette and a million dollars in the bank before I could buy alcohol legally.

The record business. It’s exactly what it is-Record-Busin ess. You have to take care of both, or they won’t take care of you.

Try to be the king, but the ace is back.
Dr. Dre

I love the new technology. New things give you a reason to want to go to the studio. New challenges mean you have to keep up, you know?

When the ideas are coming, I don't stop until the ideas stop because that train doesn't come along all the time.

And even when I was close to defeat, I rose to my feet.

In fact, I would advise against anyone doing reality shows. I won't be doing 'X Factor' just yet.

I just want to get my music out and make sure that it's heard in the right way.
