Tony Yayo Says Dr. Dre Recorded Unreleased Dipset Tracks

The claim underscores Dre's reputation for shelving collaborations under exacting standards.

Overview

  • Tony Yayo made the assertion during a new appearance on Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay, saying Dre cut songs with The Diplomats that never came out.
  • Yayo characterized Dr. Dre as a meticulous producer who makes artists redo lines repeatedly, citing experiences with 50 Cent as an example of his process.
  • Jim Jones previously recounted in 2010 that Dipset recorded multiple songs with Dre and described receiving hands-on coaching during those sessions.
  • Outlets report there is no confirmation that the alleged recordings will be released or tied to any past projects, including the long-rumored Detox.
  • Context around the remarks notes Dre's history of vaulting material, including his decision in 2015 to scrap Detox because he felt it did not meet his standards.
