“I had between 20 and 40 songs for 'Detox,' and I just couldn't feel it...” — Dr. Dre Quote

“I had between 20 and 40 songs for 'Detox,' and I just couldn't feel it. Usually, I can hear the sequence of an album as I'm going, but I wasn't able to do that. I wasn't feeling it in my gut.”

“No matter what type of equipment you have, you still have to have a certain talent to be able to make a good record.”

“I've looked at pictures that my mom has of me, from when I was four years old at the turntable. I'm there, reaching up to play the records. I feel like I was bred to do what I do. I've been into music, and listening to music and critiquing it, my whole life.”

“I think somewhere in the back of my mind I've always wanted to make a whole swing album.”

“To take a whole load for a whole album on yourself is very challenging and kind of hard to execute when you don't have a reputation as a producer. If you do it for fun, you get a good outcome.”

“That's the funny thing - if there was a year and half or two years of us being a band like every other band and then getting signed, we would probably have made 'Pretty. Odd.' as our first album instead.”
