Jeff Bass Interview

[Amadeo]

Dre did put Em on... he gave Em the greatest exposure an artist could get at the time. Everything else is small talk.

Sure, but he wasn't risking anything significant to do this, let alone his career. He didn't spend any of his own money on Eminem's projects...that was the label. He already had plenty of his own money, too.

The Bass Brothers, on the other hand, were two poor producers from Detroit who were paying for Eminem's studio time out of their own pockets because they believed in him.

PS: I was wrong. They first heard Eminem in 1992. So they knew he was talented even when he was as young as 20 (an age at which most rappers suck unless you're Nas or Eminem).

Em caused himself to lose a step by firing them

Someone needs to interview Resto.

Those are facts indeed & nobody even argues them.
Again... they could help Em (which they did) when he needed that kind of help but they could not (still can not) do anything more than that at some point.
They could pay Em's studio time but they were totally unknown, they didn't have any kind of connections, they could not give Em any kind of exposure etc. etc...
No doubt they have contributed but like I said they have their limitations.

Suing Aftermath for pocket money for tracks they've made millions from 'cuz of Dre's expousure back in the day was absolutely ridiculous. Em turned his back on 'em for a reason... just think about it.

"Marshall, I mean, the truth of the matter is we're not ... I still love him and everything and I'm sure he still loves me ... but we don't communicate like we used to. He told me he had to experiment with other writers, other producers. It was very fair. All artists probably do that. We could only have our vision of what he should be. Life happened. Life just moves on. It's not like he said, "Jump! You’re fired." It was just, "I'm gonna go in a different direction." "

This is the saddest fucking thing ever. Who was the faggot between relapse and Recovery that told em to change up his producers. I wanna sock that cunt in the mouth >:(

Bass and Dre all the way

Its sounds like eminem did a "its not you, its me sorta thing"

I agree, something happened between the refill and recovery which made Em choose those crappy producers and start acting more "mature"

[Wreck]

Honestly...from an artist's perspective, I think we all can respect Em's eagerness to branch out and try different shit. Maybe at that time, EVERYTHING he used and EVERYONE he talked to prior to the hiatus reminded him of his drugs and whatever.

But seeing as he's dyed his hair again, I think Em's deep enough into sobriety that he can maintain himself around those surroundings again. Talking out of my ass, I am but still. I wanna hear some Em and Bass

Em...Bass...EmBase?

Agreed, well said.

First of all... push your brain to the limit & think about why Em turned his back on 'em & left them in the cold after they've done so much for him in the past.
Secondly... everybody with half a brain knows who Dre is & what he's done for Em & others so if me talking about it bothers you... deal with it.
Thirdly... it was more than ridiculous they sued Aftermath for tens of millions 'cuz they owned them some leftover pocket money for songs they already got millons from 'cuz of Dre's exposure... & they've never earned a single dollar since Em turned his back on 'em too... obviously.

Last but not least...Shut the fuck up & don't address my posts ignorant newbie...

It is not stupid of course... it's just ridiculous, pathetic, ungrateful & most of it desperate. Of course the judge will let 'em do it... judges care about the law, not about who helped who in the situation.
You haven't even understood what I was saying... or let alone what we were talking about.

Just to let you know... Shady/Aftermath/Interscope are under Universal's umbrella. I hope you'll
understand what I'm trying to tell you.

Off topic... I've gotten pretty far in life, don't worry about it... concentrate on your own situation.
