Dr. Dre Writes And Produces For Queen Latifah Album

Latifah calls the new album (due in December) “banging” and plans to hit the road next year. She’s been working with LL Cool J and Dr. Dre. “They pretty much did the whole album,” Latifah said during a small roundtable interview to promote her new film The Secret Life of Bees, which also stars Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson, Dakota Fanning and Sophie Okonedo. “My boy Kenny Flav did one track and I think might do two more. Missy [Elliott] and Swizz Beatz are the only two people I have left. But they’re mixing it right now.”

Latifah, whose last album, 2007’s Trav’lin Light, was a collection of jazz and R&B standards, says she “just about” wrote all the rhymes for it. “Dre helped me write some stuff. He wrote some stuff with me and Ludicris wrote a record for me.” Lyrically it covers a range of topics, she says. “A lot of love on there. People, dealing with people, how people do all kinds of things, but then you’re like, ‘You know what? They’re just people.’
“Just like the media,” she adds. “You read something in the paper and just when I start to get mad, I’m like, ‘You know what? They’re just people.’ People do stuff. People will let you down. They won’t be around, but hey they’re just people, what are you gonna do?”

lmao - Ofcourse Dre writes his own shit. Hes been in the game longer than most of you have had hot meals. yes, dre has ghostwriters for him. alot of people have ghostwriters. but not for every dam thing he does. doesnt mean he cant lay some verses himself. plus its queen latifah, im sure it wont have to be "That" lyrical

dre said it in an interview, he can write and he does write some of his songs but he said if eminem offers to write he'll accept because he likes eminem's writing more than his own.
