by Kelly Kenyatta, Tony Rose (Editor), Raymond Boyd, (Photographer) & Walik Goshonn (Photographer) Format: Paperback, 139 pp. The first book ever written about the dynamic duo takes you through Dr. Dre's boyhood, straight-out-of-Compton and paints a picture of Eminem's struggle and survival. This exciting fast-paced 144-page book has over 24 photos and brings you face to face into the world of 'gangsta rap'. YOU FORGOT ABOUT DRE is the tell-all book that details Dr. Dre's Boyhood, N.W.A. & The Aftermath and Paints a Portrait of Eminem's Struggle, Survival & Success. Dr. Dre is often considered the most influential rapper/producer of his time. With his straight-out-of-Compton attitude, Dre created his own style of hip-hop with N.W.A.; one that went beyond flashy colorful clothes and fickle imagery, and coined the term and the sound that has become commonly known as 'gangsta-rap'. In 1992, Dre released his first solo album, The Chronic, and began an alliance with Snoop Dogg, who helped the album gain its multi-platinum status. In 1996 he formed another label, Aftermath Records. His first effort Dr. Dre Presents...The Aftermath was released in 1996 and featured several other rap artists, including: Detroit MC Marshall Mathers (a.k.a. Eminem) who had released his debut 12" as one half of the two-man crew, Soul Intent. Soon after, Eminem released his '96 debut album, Infinite, featuring members of his crew The Dirty Dozen. His solid reputation as a lyricist earned the respect of the powerful Dr. Dre, who signed him to his Aftermath label. YOU FORGOT ABOUT DRE is all about the award-winning artists - Dr. Dre and Eminem - both have been certified platinum worldwide for their albums. They have won Grammies, American Music Awards, Soul Train Awards, MTV Awards, Billboard Music Awards and continually command the #1 position on Billboard Music Charts for months at a time.
