T.I. Shares Dr. Dre-Produced “Dope”
Update: André 3000, Killer Mike, and more make cameos in the “Dope” video.
"I have tracks from Dr. Dre," T.I. told The FADER last fall. "I got a chance to work with the pioneer of the modern form of rap music. Just to see him construct a composition and meticulously go over so many intricate details—you’ve never heard a production of that magnitude. Nobody, nobody, nobody, can produce and perfect a record like Dre. Just to bear witness is amazing. As a music enthusiast, to be able to sit and watch this shit happen is amazing."
Today one of these collaborations surfaced in the form of "Dope," a new track featuring Marsha Ambrosius. Dre sampled Aaliyah's "Rock The Boat" to make the beat. Listen below.
