Dr. Dre is one of the most anticipated artists to take part in Verzuz, but he is not ready to compromise on the quality of his sound.
That was a bitter pill to swallow for Swizz Beatz just when he thought he got a deal with the Good Doctor.
The producer named this loss as one of the biggest disappointments he encountered while organising Verzuz battles together with Timbaland. He told in his recent interview with The Breakfast Club:
When Dr. Dre wasn’t feeling the sound from Teddy Riley and Babyface, that hurt our heart. I was like, “Oh my God”. If you remember, Dr. Dre was at the Teddy Riley one, he came at the end. But he was supposed to come at the end and announce that he was going to do VERZUZ that night. […] I don’t think he was going to announce who he was battling. I think he was going to announce like, “Yo, I’m coming. Just be ready”. He was going to hit them with something. Then he got on the phone, he was like, “Man, I can’t be a part of nothing that looks and sounds like that. My legacy is quality”. I was like, “Oh, we just lost Dre over that. What?!” That one felt pretty crazy. But since then, the energy was pretty good.
