On Tuesday, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was unveiled, honoring Dr. Dre for his multifaceted career as a performer, producer, founder, and CEO of Aftermath Entertainment and Beats Electronics, as well as his role as co-founder and president of Death Row Records.
At the event, speeches were given by Jimmy Iovine, Dre's Beats Electronics co-founder and CEO of Interscope Geffen A&M, along with Snoop Dogg, longtime friend and collaborator. Eminem and 50 Cent were present in the audience to show their support.
Snoop Dogg delivered a speech, reminiscing on his and Dre's friendship and musical collaborations.
"I wanna thank me for listening to Dre over the years and letting him be my teacher, mentor, brother, guardian, protector, and most importantly, a good friend," Snoop Dogg, 52, told the crowd.
He proceeded to perform a special rap, which began with him calling his 'brother from another mother.'
Dre's children looked on with pride as their father was honored for his contributions to music and culture. The ceremony served as a testament to Dre's legacy as a pioneer in hip-hop, from his groundbreaking work with N.W.A to his solo endeavors and entrepreneurial ventures.
As the founder of Aftermath Entertainment and co-founder of Beats Electronics, Dre's influence extends far beyond his music, shaping the very fabric of the entertainment industry.
