Money Quote by Dr Dre
“Its just first finding the right musicians that understand it and they have to be excited about what theyre doing. Some musicians want to sit there and play something they wrote to get money instead of getting the song done. So its about the musicians understanding and being able to do what theyre asked to do. Theres no big science behind that too.”
