lol... at deranged. That's funny sh*t right there.
People just don't get it. Dre always sounds like Dre no matter what because he is Dre. I could roll into Dre's studio right now and use his personal 5 minute hit maker setup (it's not real) and I would sound like me....... on Dre's setup. Guitar players do the same stuff, what guitar is so and so playing, what effects, what amp. Here it is: the first thing they could get their hands on that sounded good to them. Stop worrying about what everybody else is using/doing and do you. Making Dre ask about what the hell YOU are using would be the better approach to the situation.
