Dr. Dre Says He Never Listens to His Music After They are Released

The legendary producer/rapper that has helped out more rappers than can be counted says he doesn't listen to his music after they leave the lab. Hmm! Interesting. Read what he had to say about this below...and also about his process of music making.





"I’ve gone seventy-nine hours without sleep, creating. When that flow is going, it’s almost like a high. You don’t want it to stop. You don’t want to go to sleep for fear of missing something...I don’t even listen to the records after they come out. It’s outlawed in my house. My wife and my kids can’t play any of my music around me. Once it comes out, for me, it’s just business. Numbers."




That's interesting.There are non-fiction books I have written that I never read after they were published on Amazon, but I always like to read my fiction books after I am done with them. Maybe cos I write for my pleasure as much as for the pleasure of external readers. Anyway, maybe Dre is into so much that he doesn't want to be caught living in the past. Once he bangs-out a beat, or a song, it is off to the next one.
