As a Tech guy, I did Not see this one coming. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy that a hip hop legend like Dr. Dre would get the acknowledgement of such greatness, but I just look at them separately.
Like 2 different fields of expertise, but all in all, they both have similar points of greatness, so I get what the WSJ is saying:
Dr. Dre’s perfectionist impulse, coupled with his disregard for artificial deadlines, have meant that “he doesn’t put out a lot of material,” despite being a workaholic, said Paul Rosenberg, a lawyer and manager of one of Dr. Dre’s protégés, rapper Eminem.
That could portend friction at his new employer, Apple, which agreed to buy Beats for $3 billion last month. But like Dr. Dre, Apple has also boasted about not doing market research. The company’s late founder, Steve Jobs, made no secret of his belief that consumers don’t really know what they want until someone else shows it to them. Colleagues predict that at Apple Dr. Dre could also cede some decision-making power and become more accommodating.
Congrats to Dr. Dre for such recognition and striving to be the greatest he can be, insuring us to step our game up!!
