“Still taking my time to perfect the beat
And I still got love for the streets, it's the D-R-E.”
— Dr. Dre, “Still D.R.E.”
How expansive is Dr. Dre’s influence in the music industry?
To test this question, I use Spotify’s API. I plot Dr. Dre’s connections to artists whose songs he produced or was a feature on.
I find that Dr. Dre’s influence is felt throughout early hip hop.
