Dre can afford to be picky about which artists he works with. But with his good pal and Interscope-Geffen-A&M chair Jimmy Iovine joining American Idol as an in-house mentor for the upcoming tenth season, would Dre consider lending his studio talents to a contestant from the show? Sure, if the chemistry was right.

“You know what? It all depends on the artist, if they turn me on or not. That’s all there is to it,” Dr. Dre tells the Music Mix backstage at a Beats by Dr. Dre headphone launch event. “Of course, they have to have a serious talent,” he adds. “I have to be comfortable vibing with them in the studio. And I really like artists that have a story.”

"if they turn me on or not."



I don't think we'll have any of those type of artists on American Idol. Just saying.

you obviously don't know anything about hip-hop then

This.

It seriously looks like you're talking about yourself in 3rd person.

If I was holding a Season 10 golden ticket right now I'd be jumping for joy, whether Dre is relevant in this situation or not, he has a huge marketing conglomerate right now with Beats, I'd definitely try to get on his good side.

yep your life definitely does

interesting...hmm..

Release your own album first, Dre.

But on a sidenote, I agree with Beatfreak. Dre has all the right people on his side who have connections in the industry. These connections extend to music, marketing, and even more. Working with Dre would be a very good way to make a successful career for a post Idol contestant. Plus, musically, I imagine he might give the contestants more creative freedom. Right now, they have little to none.

Are you kidding? Do you not know that Dre basically created the top-selling rapper of ALL TIME, which is Eminem?

Yes!

He needs to be a jugde >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I see Eminem turns him on. I knew it.
