---- and you know this, of course, because you and Dre are best friends, hmmm?

I know this because I'm a student of the rap game, 106 KMEL battle rap champion, and have been on numerous Bay Area Rap CD's. So I'm lyrically inclined enough to know Genius when I see it.

Every rapper that Dr Dre has signed has changed the rap industry in one way or another. He's the father of Gansta rap, a musical genre that's changed music forever. When West coast rap music was at and all time low then Dr.Dre releases the Chronic, and introduces international superstar Snoop Dog. Dre once again changed the rap game and fathered the rebirth of G-Funk and West coast rap.

Then Dr Dre finds out about a lyrical phenomenon, who was named the Free-styler of year by the Wake up shows Sway and Tech. Once Dre heard this phenomenon, couple with the fact that he finished 2nd in the Rap Olympics, he should of won first, but in this case his skin color was used against him. Because the guy who took first in the Rap Olympics that year has done nothing since hmmm.

So once Dre singed Eminem, Dre changed the rap industry once again. By introducing and artist who took hip to a new level, by selling 27 million records world wide. So that's why I say that Dre signs people on talent, because based on his past successes, it's evident that he only signs artists who can revolutionize the industry. Eminem has smoked everyone and anyone who's ever tried to battle him. Although there's one exception (Canibus) but that's the only rapper living who can go toe to toe lyrically with Eminem.
