One World Books will publish a book titled ROLLIN WITH DRE: The Unauthorized Account: An Insider’s Tale of the Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of West Coast Hip Hop that is expected to shock and give a never-before-seen version of the life and times of legendary producer Dr. Dre.
ROLLIN WITH DRE will be a tell-all story that covers Dre‘s early days as a member of N.W.A., joining and escaping Death Row Records, building and helping launch the careers of artists including Eminem, 50 Cent, and Game among other key events in the producer’s life.
The book will be by Bruce Williams, long-time friend and former right-hand man to Dre, with Donnell Alexander. As one of the closest people to observe the renowned producer, Williams promises to not withhold anything.
“I’m about to blow the top off of everything I saw,” Williams has said.
During his time alongside Dre, Williams was considered his confidant and problem-solver to a number of artists and others earning him the nickname “Uncle Bruce.” He is expected to have either been at a specific location when action went down or at least close enough to hear the hollow points fly by.
In addition to the key events in Dre‘s life, the book will also discuss the driving forces of sex, violence and power in the hip hop industry with an emphasis on the west coast scene. It will also give an inside look at what was behind the 50 Cent and Game reconciliation press conference and the planned release of the long awaited forthcoming album, Detox.

so will this book come out at the same date as DETOX? 2060???
Interesting. Time to do a book but not to make music. Well like Ice Cube said the nikka Dre always on vacation…..
are you stupid, its not dres book
@anonymous
i dont give a fuck about its dre’s book or not and fuck you
so i take it the author won’t be “telling all” about dr.dre’s raging homosexuality. anyone that EVER came in direct contact with dre the man, and not the name, know he’s a shy, timid, closet homosexual. he’s also a musical fraud. he doesn’t do anything but lend his name to other people’s work. what a legend. fuck dre.
Proof??
“It will also give an inside look at… the planned release of the long awaited forthcoming album, Detox.”
shit was almost 5 fuckin years ago
ROFL! Time flys by, doesn’t it…
This book has been out on paper back for a few years. Interesting read if you are a D.R.E. fan.
I’m sure everybody who was interested at the time has read this and actually owns the book, which I would recommend owning. Wait till that Kindle short circuits. I’m curious, why is this news? Will HHDX be reporting all the countless artist related stuff that has gone e-reader status as well? Seems like the news is slow today. Still love y’all
Bruce was close, I mean real close 2 Dre. That doesnt mean they were gay, by the way.
Batman & Robin
batman and robin aint real though
lol!
This dude is coming out with everything but that Detox album. I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t care about the books, I don’t care about the headphones. I only care about that Detox. WTF
I agree with you but i wouldn’t count on Detox coming out at this point. I think Dre is done with that.
At least rea dthe article..dre aint write it dumbass

You do know what unauthorized means, right?
I wonder if this will come out as an audio book so I can listen to this with my M50’s. It could have some pretox beats lighty playing in the background as it is being read to me. 😛
Will putting ‘Unauthorized’ on the book make it exempt from slander/defamation laws?
“Unauthorized ” thats the only way to get pretox beats. lol
It will be out in about 12 years time same as detox
Eazy-E > This queer
The book isn’t being endorsed by Dre. No point in reading it.
If it was it wouldnt be a tell all they fell out..

WTF are you talking about…Great “hip hop” journalism..
Everything has to be about guns, Dre doesn’t know anything about guns, he’s a music producer not a gangbanger
Sometimes it doesnt matter what you do for a living for a person to know about guns. If your from Compton or any other surrounding cities in L.A. sometimes your just surrounded by guns. Hope this helps out you and the people of your village.
Another white boy trying to be black. I’m white but I’m not American. How come almost all white Americans can’t seperate liking hip hop from acting like, talking like, dressing like they’re black.
Well if you havent noticed Mr. Journalist hip hop as been global for awhile now. This culture as been started by blacks, hispanics, and some whites. If you wanna learn more order a book on “Amazon” , thats a website, and order a book on hip hop. You’ll find out that its everywhere even Japan. Then you’ll have something to talk about when you go to your village.
This book want tell us nothing we all know Dr Dre was bi sexual Tupac said it he didnt know if he wanted a pole or a hole, First Eazy E punked you then Suge punked you you did some good things in hiphop we dont need a book of lies
I read this book and it wasn’t anything spectacular. Unless the Kindle edition comes with an all new Dre track (and you haven’t already read the book) you might be interested. The best is it when it delves into the Suge-Pac-Dre era of Deathrow but even then you are never guaranteed to get the real story. Overall 7/10 for the new info (the limo story is great) but loses major points for layout and the overall material covered.
Dre aint gay ya bunch of fools! I’m tired of hearin it. Everyone suspected pac was, until he had to explain shit. Ya’ll suspect niggaz kill me with yo foolishness. Detox is gona be tha bomb, I know it.
