The D12 member reveals that he laced Dre with two beats for the elusive "Detox."
Billboard recently caught up with Mr. Porter (a/k/a Denaun Porter) to discuss his contributions to Eminem and Royce Da 5'9"'s acclaimed collaborative EP Hell: The Sequel. During the interview, Porter revealed that Bad Meets Evil's reunion EP isn't the only Shady/Aftermath project to which he's contributed beats. The Detroit producer revealed that he has two tracks featured on Dr. Dre's long awaited Detox. Porter discussed what it was like to produce for such a HIp Hop icon and why he's willing to wait for as long as it takes to hear Dre's third solo LP.
"[My two songs are] really different," he explained. "I didn't want to do what everybody else was doing and...send him a weed-smoking song. Dre's like a big brother to me, so I know what to approach him with, and the songs we did for him are totally different."
Porter added, "I don't care when it comes out, really. It doesn't matter to me if it ever comes out. I understand the pressure he's got on him, everybody asking for it. He's just real particular about songs. If it comes, it comes. If it doesn't, it doesn't. He can do whatever he wants."
Denaun Porter also discussed what it was like to work with the newly reunited Em and Royce.
WELL THATS FUCKING GREAT ;WERE AT THE POINT WHERE(IF IT COMES OUT ;IT COMES OUT IF IT DOESNT ;IT DOESNT) WELL I REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE THING HE IS NOT PRODUCING THE ALBUM HIMSELF;HE GETS BEATS SUBMITED BY EVERY PRODUCER FROM ALL OF THE WORLD CORNERS;YETHE IS STILL ELUSIVE ABOUT THE RELEASE DATE
ReplyDeleteYou know what would actually be news? Dr. Dre producing for his own album.
ReplyDeleteI went out, bought a pair of Beats, bought both singles, bought old albums, everything. I'm doing my part. Why ain't Dre doing his? Detox needs to hurry up. At least another fucking single. Damn...
ReplyDeleteUP ABOVE IM FEELIN YA DID THE SAME THING I THINK MR PORTER'S WORK IS PRETTY GOOD HE CONTRIBUTED ALOT TO EMS RELAPSE ALBUM THIS IS OLD NEWES THOUGH I HEARD ABOUT THIS PROBABLY A YEAR AGO IM A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED DRE DID NOT RELEASE DIE HARD I WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT HOPE ITS ON THE ALBUM IM NOT TOO EXCITED ABOUT A SONG WITH FIFTY PLAYED OUT
ReplyDeleteSo dre doesn't produce anything himself nowadays? Dj khalih, Alex da kid, just blaze, scott scrotch, fuckin swizz beatz and now this guy. I mean there is nothing wrong to have big team of making music, like dre had in 2001 and the chronic, but we need his own shit! Dre hasn't produced anything for a while. He didn't make any tracks for recorvery and there is no confirmation of him producing beats for his own cd, although dre has said that he produced like hundreds of beats for detox, at some point, but we are still waiting to hear one of them. Come on dre! If you don't want to make the record and you are just begging for other producer's beats then DON'T RELEASE IT! If he doesn't have the passion of making a classic and he just tries to make a hit because he thinks that he has to is going to be WACK and over produced piece of shit with no meaning and any real effort. I am big fan of dre's music and i really hope that he still has it to make another classic after all these years and lost of his son. The greatest hip-hop album of all-time and Alex da kid just don't match on the same sentence...
ReplyDeleteGet it right man, Dr. Dre produced the song "So bad" on the "Recovery" album. Go see the Chrysler commercial, the beat you hear is produced by him. Probably his new single "The psycho" feat. 50Cent.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, man, we will hear Dre-produced tracks on DETOX.
