DR DRE: NOT AS SMART AS WE THOUGHT

Music mogul Dr Dre (said to be worth $800 million) showed an astonishing lack of common sense when he was photographed with this dinner date at BOA Steakhouse. That’s Dre in the white sneakers behind Apryl Jones in the black bra. Not a smart move, considering Dre is in the middle of a very expensive divorce from his wife of 24 years, Nicole Young. Nicole filed in June and made some highly unflattering charges against her husband. The big issue in the divorce is division of property – Nicole accused Dre of lavishing money on mistresses and hiding assets. This photo can only inspire the already irate Nicole to “take him to the to the cleaners” – as they used to say… Bad timing.

DR DRE MADE SURE HIS BRUTAL VIOLENCE TOWARD WOMEN WAS NOT FEATURED IN “STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON”

We have to admit that a part of us was very disappointed when the movie “Straight Outta Compton” became a hit. Why? Because we’ve had a bone to pick with NWA since their beginning. They were a group of ignorant thugs who got lucky in the music business. They had no respect for anyone- especially women. Misogynistic Dr Dre was convicted on multiple cases of violence against women, including the brutalization, on a nightclub ladies room floor, of female journalist Dee Barnes. Not only did the despicable Dre punch and beat women, his lyrics depicted them as “bitches and hos.” Since Dre executive produced “Straight Outta Compton” he made sure these episodes were NOT included in the movie. Dre prefers the reputation of a reformed gangster with heart. It couldn’t be further from the truth.

DR DRE: TROUBLEMAKER TO INSPIRATION IN COMPTON

The California city of Compton has forgiven Dr Dre for giving the place a bad name. Dre, (his real name is Andre Young) is now being celebrated as Compton’s first self-made billionaire. Back in 1988, Dre and his band N.W.A. released the gangsta rap album “Straight Outta Compton” and gave the city a bleak and dangerous reputation. Compton became synonymous with West Coast gangsters and violence. But Dre redeemed himself when he found success as a music producer and business man. Now teachers in Compton are using Dre as an example of how students can find success as entrepreneurs in business and not just sports and music. Since Dre made his multi billion dollar deal with Apple, he bought Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady’s 40 million dollar Brentwood compound and he won’t be moving back to Compton.

BUSTA RHYMES AND DR DRE NO LONGER SHOP IN THE XXXL DEP'T

We’re noting a style trend among rappers and we’re not sure if it’s good or bad. As we recall, hip hop singers used to wear really baggy oversize pants and shirts that allowed them to eat whatever they wanted and never think about their weight. Skinny or fat – it was all hidden under XXXL tent-like shirts. But over the years, steroids have gained popularity and some performers have CHANGED a lot. Busta Rhymes (top photos) went from a skinny guy hopping around to an intimidating powerhouse with Popeye arms. And recently Dr Dre showed off his fifty pound weight loss and new muscular physique. Now they wear tight clothes. They LOOK good, but are they subject to ‘roid rage?

EMINEM AND DR DRE: TABLE FOR TWO

Eminem and Dr Dre dined at a fancy LA steakhouse last week and they both arrived with several important looking bodyguards. The guards sat at tables close enough to keep a close eye on their bosses – and the two music moguls treated THEM to steaks also. At one point Eminem (who according to a witness “looked tiny” in person) went to use the mensroom and his guards checked out the restroom to make sure it was empty. After Eminem went inside, they guarded the door so no one else could enter. The restaurant’s upscale customers were somewhat insulted that the singer felt he needed protection from them. But the guys WERE big tippers.
