Interesting.

He doesn't say much about Prince. So I'm left wondering when this happened. He says Prince wanted to work with him as opposed to the other way round. I can't see it myself. Or at least, no more than Prince wanting the words "Dr Dre remix" to appear on a single.

But we did get a The Neptunes Remix with Q-Tip, a Dr. Dre remix isn't that farfetched.

if it was just a dream, call me a dreamer 2

Yeah, although I'd say that The Neptunes and Qtip have a more positive vibe than Dre. Which seems more in line with P's outlook. But as I said, I don't doubt there came a point where Prince saw the value in having Dr Dre's name on a record.

Was there ever a plan for an actual collaboration, both of them in a studio? As opposed to sending Dre some songs to work on? That seems less likely IMO.

I know there's an Ice Cube remix of Black Sweat but I don't know if that's official
