While news of Dr. Dre in the studio often elicits snickers and skepticism among diehard Hip Hop fans, that doesn’t mean The Good Doctor isn’t getting his hands dirty with each and every studio session.
Just ask Osbe Chill, the longtime affiliate of The Game who was recently spotted in the studio exciting The Chronic creator’s eardrums.
“The video with Dre was I’d say probably a month ago or something,” the Los Angeles rapper told HipHopDX. “We was working on the Born To Rap album that day.”
Born To Rap is Game’s long-announced and supposed swan song of an album. And the song they were working on appears to be special for a number of reasons.
“They were working on the song that Nipsey Hussle is on,” Osbe added. “They were actually working on that, on the production and all of that on that particular song.”
After the work was done, an opportunity to impress the living legend arose and Osbe didn’t squander the moment.
“It was a couple people in there playing music, and he basically asked if anybody else wanted to play something,” he said. “I plugged up, and he ended up liking it a lot. I feel like I made it in that moment. That was one of my dreams just to be able to at least even be in the same room with Dre. The fact that he was actually feeling my music, that shit was epic for me.”
The song Osbe played was “Don’t Need You” from his latest album Dawgma. As an additional bonus, the day just happened to be his birthday and Dre wasn’t the only rap great he got face time with.
“I was sitting there smoking with Snoop Dogg and shit like that and just going over the music,” he continued. “And Dre was cool. We was sitting there just chilling in-between times of working. He likes to take breaks and chill and chop it up. I got to actually sit down and talk to him.”
No release date for The Game’s Born To Rap has been released thus far.

Dre dresses like a filthy rich dude…
Corny, these niggas squandering black listeners
It’s sad Dre endorses shit like this. This isn’t unique, special, or amazing. It’s typical.
Nigga u corny,game and dre is the shit
I’m not corny. Game is corny lol. Studio gangster, who name drops NWA and shit in every single song he makes. I loved Dre, and he has a lot of great work from the past, but the things he’s been backing the past few years have been garbage. Tell me, what’s a dope Dr Dre production in the past 5 years? Compton album was average at best, not a classic, and so not good, that only us hard-core fans listened to it. The general public has 100% forgotten about Dre.
Who’s the fourth eyes on his shirt easy e or ice cube
thx now i cant sleep
Eazy-E
In this day and age a co-sign from the great Doctor may really just mean that you’ll never be heard from again. What happened to all the artists featured on the Compton album? Where are they now? In addition to that… not one single music video was shot to support that project. We all know it was music inspired by the movie but that was a huge missed opportunity to get those artists that contributed to it some serious shine. Just wish we’d hear more music coming from that side of the world but perfectionists will always be their own worst enemy. I’m convinced that we still haven’t heard the greatest music from the hundreds of tracks Dre created and/or contributed to.
The music video was called Straight outta Compton and it was 2 hours long
lol … well damn .. I kan’t argue that…lol
Jon Connor, the best dude Dre signed in decades, more talented than Kendrick, was dropped from Aftermath some months back, after over 5 years of constant hype up for “vehicle city” album. Dre does that all the time. Hyped up debut albums that don’t exist. I used to love Dre, but he has been disappointing the past decade. Kendrick was a great find, but became untapped potential. Kendrick first works were amazing. He was like the next Westcoast great, like Pac, but different. Then, Kendrick went all pop radio rap on us, and stopped sounding like a classic Westcoast rapper, and now sounds like a Young Money type of rapper. With that said, I wish we heard Kendrick on some classic Dre beats in his prime, but we never got some Dre pruduced Kendrick, and now, I’m convinced Kendrick would put our some BS on a Dre beat, and not have the extremely dope styles he had like 7 years ago.
It looked like Dre was just feelin the beat
Like self service lol x
