What's the greatest lesson that Dre taught you? Trust yourself. We argued a lot, making that NWA record. And the arguments was, what's dope? What's not? Should we do this or not? Should we say this or not? Sometimes he would stand on what he believed in. Sometimes the best argument would move him. So if you had something better or something that was more impressive, you would see him change his position. So that was great, too, because it was like, oh, you can affect the record. You just gotta be better than what's already here.
