◇ image via WikipediaDr. Dre
Dr. Dre is a Hip hop act. Their sound grew out of Devin the Dude, Shock G, N.W.A. and the Posse, 2Pac and Roger Troutman. Those roots explain a lot about how Dr. Dre arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, N.W.A, 50 Cent and The Game, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Doc Gynéco, Joseph Trapanese, Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?, Uh Huh Her and 24K, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 161 connections around Dr. Dre, reaching back through Devin the Dude and forward to Doc Gynéco.
