* ThePerfectionist: He is known to pressure artists in giving perfect performance, even making one of his aftermath signees, Bishop Lament, do a take 107 times in order to get it the way Dre likes. This is why a number of Aftermath signees have never released a full length album on his label.

* TenPacesAndTurn: Subverted in Music/DrDre's and Music/{{Eminem}}'s "Bad Guys Always Die".

* AWildRapperAppears: While he did produced the track, his rap verse on [=BlackStreet=]'s "No diggity" can be seen as this. It appears near the beginning and he doesn't return afterwords nor is he mentioned again.

* OdeToIntoxication: Dre's first solo album, The Chronic was named after Marijuana and references smoking weed several times.

* {{Sampling}}: Each track on the chronic contains at least one sample and the intro track alone used 6 different songs to sample from. There is also some sampling on 2001 though not nearly to the extent as ''The Chronic''.

* TheStoner: ''The Chronic'', despite these lyrics from N.W.A.'s [[Music/StraightOuttaCompton "Express Yourself"]]:
-->"Yo I don't smoke weed or sesh, 'cause it's known to give a brother brain damage\\
And brain damage on the mic don't manage"

Dre then formed a new record label called Aftermath Entertainment. It had some difficulties in its first couple of years, releasing poorly received records, but it turned around when Dre signed Eminem, whose debut album ''Music/TheSlimShadyLP'' proved to be a huge hit. Dr Dre also released his second album ''2001'' which was also a huge success, going 6xplatinum. Since then though, Dre has been more focused on producing works for other artists, ranging from artists from Music/MaryJBlige to [[Music/NoDoubt Gwen Stefani]], rather than releasing solo records. This also included Aftermath signee 50 Cent whose first 2 albums both went multi-platinum. Dre would also continue to work with Eminem throughout the 2000s, producing many successful releases for him.
