Bruce Williams was the long-time best friend and right-hand man to Dr. Dre, and a prime mover at Aftermath, one of the most successful start-up labels in music history. In Rollin’ with Dre The Unauthorized Account, Williams, owner of a sports bar in downtown Los Angeles, gives us an unprecedented inside look at–and the up-and-down story of–two decades of hip-hop culture and “The Life.”
As Dre’s confidant and the problem-solver to a stable of artists and others who came to know him as “Uncle Bruce,” Williams was either there when the action went down or close enough to feel the hollowpoints whiz by Dre perfecting the gangsta era’s signature sound displayed on his highly influential album The Chronic and its Snoop Dogg-helmed follow-up, Doggystyle; getting out from under Death Row Records, the label Dre co-founded with impresario Suge Knight; launching the careers of Eminem, 50 Cent, and The Game.
Williams lays it out in black and white, from dish on Tupac Shakur’s chaotic rise and fall to the deadly feud between Tha Row (formerly Death Row Records) and East Coast MCs and bigshots, from Suge’s legal battles to Dre’s reconciliation with Eazy-E before E’s untimely demise from AIDS, from the hard-won “overnight” successes of Snoop and Eminem to what it was like rollin’ with giants and legends-in-the-making–and living the life (and bearing the burdens) as a bona-fide master of the game.
Williams takes us on a wild ride, showing us the never-before-seen side of the infamous West Coast scene. With one foot firmly planted in the Hollywood establishment and the other in the sex-and-violence-drenched netherworld of the hip-hop music industry, Rollin’ with Dre The Unauthorized Account, is the impossible-to-put-down story of music icons and the culture that created the soundtrack of a restless generation.

There is a lot of interesting stuff here but it's annoying how Bruce keeps calling Dre "my best friend" instead of just calling him by name. It sounds like he's embellishing his importance to Dre but still, he was there for some of the craziest times in Dre's life so it's still worth checking out. A LOT of typos and mistakes, though.Product details

Rollin' With Dre edition by Bruce Williams Donnell Alexander Arts Photography eBooks Reviews
Considering what little I knew about Dr. Dre and his rise to stardom, ROLLIN' WITH DRE by Bruce Williams (with Donnell Alexander) was just what I needed to begin to fill in the blanks of one of the most complicated men in Hip Hop. Told by someone who got to know him better than most, the book also takes you into the author's own background, how he came to know the man that would change music forever, and the side of the industry that few of us have ever seen.
When it comes to standout sections, I think what I will remember the most is how even Bruce, someone who was at the side of Dre, even found him to be an enigma. For all of his public persona and celebrity, Dre comes across like many of us, learning how to be more comfortable in his own skin and manage the expectations of others as well as those he has for himself.
Powerful and informative, ROLLIN' WITH DRE is definitely a book well worth the ride.
A lot of useful information.
VERY GOOD BOOK ABOUT LIFE WITH DR DRE IN THE 1990S
EASY TO READ
Such An amazing Book,I read this s*** in two days.Couldnt help myself!
Not interesting, writer made it about him, as though Dr. Dre became successful because of him and what he did to protect him. I did not finish the book.
good read, goes in to the life of the man beyond the music. written from the perspective of his right hand man that was with him from death row through eminem
Just wasn't a good book. Reads as it is written by a two year old. the language is horrible and difficult to follow. I know I may sound like a snob, I understand this is someone's first person account, but it's still a book. You should sound like you have some class if you are trying to get millions to read you book.
