Dr. Dre was supposed to be helm LL COOL J’supcoming album before he made the switch to bring Q-Tip into the fold.

The Queens, New York legend joined Way Up With Angela Yee, where he explained that he actually recorded about 30 to 40 songs with Dre, but felt something wasn’t right and changed course creatively.

“So, the real story is that I did about 30 to 40 songs with Dr. Dre, and in doing those songs I felt like — the music was amazing what Dre was bringing to the table was super dope — but I felt like the writing, what I was bringing to these songs didn’t feel strong enough to me,” he explained.

“I didn’t feel like I was expressing, I was getting out of me, what I was feeling. In my mind, I didn’t feel like it was written properly.”
