Joell Ortiz dropped from Aftermath
- Thread starter caff
- Start date
Dr. Dre is on vacation again. He's already made 5 tracks for Detox. But he has to re-make all of them again and get a different ghostwriter for the first 2 songs because they werent good enough. As soon as he remakes those 5 he will go on vacation again. Then Bishop Lamont will release 2 more mixtapes before Dre starts working on it again.
Very good point. Hopefully it gives Ortiz a better chance to release an album sooner. He's def got fire, his G4TV Freestyle 101 episode is one of the sickest ones they've had-

i dont know what kind of music he's makin. Maybe he's aiming to outsell Michael Jackson's Thriller record sales. He's fuckin up. Can u imagine watching him make a beat? He probably sits there for 3 hours looking for the right snare. I really believe that he doesnt make his own beats. He's more like a masterer/engineer kinda dude.
dre?? of course he doesn't make his own beats. & honestly, i don't know how anyone can be a fan of someone who doesn't write his own lyrics or even make his own beats. its not like he has some kinda sick ass delivery that makes up for it all..
it makes no sense to me that those who contribute greatly to his production receive no credit for their work.
& how's eminem gonna fued with royce over the man's manager revealing that he ghostwrote for dre??? he's known royce much longer than he's known dre..& i bet they won't be feuding with wayne over that bullshit.

**Update**
After weeks of rumors, it has been confirmed that Joell Ortiz is not on Aftermath Records any longer. The rumors first started swirling when Bishop Lamont, a fellow Aftermath artist, had said in an interview,"From what I heard I think (Ortiz) got dropped...I think dude got dropped 'cause of the whole Interscope thing." In a recent interview Ortiz was asked about the "Ups and Downs" video that ends with Ortiz getting his release form from Aftermath in the mail and he revealed that he actually asked to be released from the label. “I can’t afford to wait. I got a million people waiting on me to come out,” Ortiz says in regards to the release request. “I would have been cheating myself if I would have to sit there and wait (on Aftermath). I have momentum now and I need to take advantage of it now. I need to be coming out with a new record ASAP.”
However, he says that he is still working with Dr. Dre. “Those are my records still,” Ortiz said when asked what would happen with the material that was intended for an Aftermath release. “You are still going to hear me on a Doctor beat! Everything is beautiful.” In regards to the statement that Bishop Lamont had to say about him, Joell said, "“I checked the interview (with Bishop Lamont) and it was just someone speaking on a situation that they know nothing about,” Ortiz stated in regards to the interview. He also mentioned that he and Lamont have only spoken a couple of times and there’s no hard feelings.
“Me and Dr. Dre deal how me and Dr. Dre deal,” Ortiz said. “They deal how they deal. I wouldn’t comment on him but he commented on me. It’s all good. He just didn’t know what he was talking about.” No matter what anybody is speculating, Joell doesn't want his fans to think he is bad shape. “I want people to understand that I got money in my pocket. I’m working with Dr. Dre. I got a mixtape coming out that’s ridiculous…I got a bidding war going on without trying to create one. I’m feeling good!”
