Noted in the Vibe Magazine outtakes published on NodFactor.com, the records Dr. Dre kept included Curtis Mayfield’s “Super Fly,” soundtrack, Barry White’s “Greatest Hits,” and lastly, an A+ decision on his behalf, Nirvana’s 1989 debut album “Bleach.“ In regard to the Grunge-Rock Seattleites album, Dre said
