Each song is a child I nourish and give my love to. But even if you have never written a song, your life is a song. How can it not be?

The first song that I ever recorded was written by my mother.

John could write a mean song. He had a lot of venom in him. Whereas I had a happy childhood.

Everything in life is not all beautiful, not all fun. There is lots of killing and drugs. To me, a perfect album talks about the hard stuff and the fun and caring stuff.

Dre, heroes, homeboys, music, industry

The most miraculous process is watching a song go from a tiny idea in the middle of the night to something that 55,000 people are singing back to you.
