The stories of Dr. Dre making artists do lines hundreds of times in the studio are famous.
Too Short once said the legendary producer made him say “The p*ssy” for several hours.
Xzibit also talked about Dre making him record a line hundreds of times, which was for his 2002 song âMultiply.â [Jump to the 18:52 mark]
“That took me about two, three hours to get that line,âsaid the rapper. âBecause he wanted me to sound like a down south preacher ⊠âI been this way and I canât stop.â No. I couldnât understand why or where he was trying to take me but I wasnât fighting. He sat there patiently with me like, âNope, try it again.â”
âI was expecting to keep it going and when he said, âPlay that back. Hold on, I think we got something,'” Xzibit explained later in the interview. “I think maybe four or 500 times. I love the song. I will never forget that part. Even if I have Alzheimerâs Iâm still gonna remember, âI been this way and I canât stop.’â
