Xzibit Talks Dr. Dre Making Him Record A Single Line 500 Times

The stories of Dr. Dre making artists do lines hundreds of times in the studio are famous.

Too Short once said the legendary producer made him say "The p*ssy" for several hours.

Xzibit also talked about Dre making him record a line hundreds of times, which was for his 2002 song “Multiply.” [Jump to the 18:52 mark]

"That took me about two, three hours to get that line,”said the rapper. “Because he wanted me to sound like a down south preacher … ‘I been this way and I can’t stop.’ No. I couldn’t understand why or where he was trying to take me but I wasn’t fighting. He sat there patiently with me like, ‘Nope, try it again.’"

“I was expecting to keep it going and when he said, ‘Play that back. Hold on, I think we got something,'" Xzibit explained later in the interview. "I think maybe four or 500 times. I love the song. I will never forget that part. Even if I have Alzheimer’s I’m still gonna remember, ‘I been this way and I can’t stop.'”
