2 Chainz names DR. Dre his toughest collaborator: ‘I get why he’s where he is’

2 Chainz has just about seen it all in the studio but one session in particular came to mind when he named Dr. Dre as his toughest collaborator.

Speaking to Million Dollaz Worth of Game on Tuesday (November 14), Tity Boi revealed Dre once asked him to redo one of his verses during a session but said he wasn’t having it — although the Atlanta native dubbed it a “great experience” overall.

Apparently, the West Coast Hip Hop legend had issues with the way Chainz was enunciating some of his bars.

“I was trying to explain to Dr. Dre that a southern Black kid with an overbite is gonna sound different than a suburban white kid from Detroit,” 2 Chainz said. “We’re gonna enunciate stuff different. He be like, ‘Nah, say it like this.’ It was such a great experience.

“And he wants me to stack it. I might do one pass just my voice… He like, ‘Stack it again.’ I’m not good at saying the same thing the same way… ‘Damn, this is five times. I don’t normally [do this].’ I could be on another song at my own studio.”

Dr. Dre is known for being meticulous and a perfectionist in the studio and Chainz respects that about him which helped Dre push the boundaries of rap music.

“I get why he is where he is. He pays special attention to detail. He don’t go for the first thing that come up. He really cares,” he said. “If I had to really zero down on the experience where the producer was literally sitting right here while I was trying to do my song, it would be Dr. Dre… I needed that experience, that was something on my bucket list.”

Dr. Dre is actually credited as a co-writer on 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne’s Welcome 2 ColleGrove single “Presha.”

The Weezy-Chainz joint project sequel is set to arrive this Friday (November 17) via Def Jam. The 21-track project features assists from 21 Savage, Usher, Rick Ross, Benny The Butcher, Fabolous, Vory and more.

DJ Toomp previously revealed that he’d produced a song for the ColleGrove sequel with Benny on it, calling it a “wicked” record.

“It’s a nice R&B sample, man, that I just put some crazy drums to and some extra pianos and shit. Yeah, it’s hard, it’s hard,” he told Atlanta radio host Brian “B High ATL” Hightower.
