Dr. Dre & Jimmy Iovine talks about making ‘2001’.
Dr. Dre and his former label (and business) partner sat down with Apple Music to talk about the making of Dr. Dre’s classic album 2001, which was released on November 16th, 2001. On the 20th anniversary of the album, the duo talks about making of the album, the events leading up to it, how they chose the singles, Jay-Z writing ‘Still D.R.E.‘ for Dre and Snoop, and much more.
Following breakups with N.W.A. and later Death Row, Dre felt lonely once more.“All of a sudden, I’m on my own again and I have to go find artists and musicians to work with,” Dre says. “Fortunately for me, I’d done it before when I separated myself from Eazy[-E] and Jerry Heller. I knew what the feeling of starting over feels like. But the second time, I had Jimmy.”
The iconic album features the classic tracks like ‘Next Episode‘ with Snoop Dogg, ‘Forgot About Dre‘ with Eminem and many more. Watch the full conversation below.
