Dr. Dre thinks social media has destroyed the mystique of an artist

"I don’t need anybody to know where I am every minute or what I’m doing" Dr. Dre has said that he thinks social media has ruined the mystique of an artist.

Speaking in a new interview alongside friend and business partner Jimmy Iovine, the super producer and N.W.A. co-founder discussed fame in the social media age and why he’s not a fan of it. “I probably would’ve hated social media when I was coming up,” Dre told British GQ. “There’s a certain mystique that gets destroyed.

I like the mystique. I like waiting. I don’t need anybody to know where I am every minute or what I’m doing. Or what I’m about to do.” He added: “There’s a certain mystique that came along with music that was entertaining to wait to see what was about to happen.” Watch
