DR DRE DOESN’T KNOW HOW LUCKY HE IS

We’ve always marveled at the fact that Dr Dre evolved from gangsta rapper in NWA to clever and hugely successful businessman. He was as rough as they come, and considering all the accusations he had of abusing women, he would probably be in #MeToo prison by now if he hadn’t gotten married to Nicole Young in 1996. We can never forgive him for horrifically assaulting a female TV host (and bragging about it) in 1991 because he didn’t like something she said on her show. Dre could NOT have been easy to live with. Young filed for divorce in June 2020 and the battle for his money began. Lucky for Dre, he was smart enough to get a prenup and they just settled- Nicole gets a flat 100 million dollars and that leaves Dre with around 720 million. She worked hard for that money…

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.
