Dr. Dre Admits He’s Not Inspired By Current Hip-Hop: ‘It’s Not For Me’
Dr. Dre is opening up about his disconnect from today’s hip-hop scene.
In a recent interview for Complex’s latest cover story to promote his new album Missionary with Snoop Dogg, the music mogul shared his thoughts on the current state of hip-hop, stating:
“I don’t want to be disrespectful to anybody right now, but I’m not really inspired by what’s happening with hip-hop these days. It’s not for me.”
He continued:
“I’ve always said I’m not going to disrespect it or anything like that, but I haven’t heard anything that makes me go, ‘F**k, why didn’t I do that?’ I haven’t heard that in a long time, which makes my job easy, to be honest.”

Dre’s comments reflect his dissatisfaction with contemporary hip-hop, though he clarified he remains deeply dedicated to his craft.
In addition, during the same interview, Dre revealed that he doesn’t enjoy revisiting his past work, even telling his family not to play his older material around him. He also shared that the last projects that really inspired him were Kendrick Lamar’s good kid, m.A.A.d. city (2012), and To Pimp A Butterfly (2015).
