Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Snoop Dogg and DJ Premier have convened for a new single called “Can You Dig That?” The track arrived Friday (March 29) just hours after the duo teased the single on social media. Backed by Preemo’s signature jazz-infused production, Snoop easily glides over the beat as he reflects on his life on the West Coast.

“The lights, the glimmer,” he raps in the first verse. “Shooting stars and beautiful women (Wow)/Dice games and dominoes/Presidential Obama flows (Flows)/Rivers drip with tadpoles (What?)/Night clubs with bad hoes (Ooh)/Neighborhoods with liquor stores/And foes and baggy clothes/I gotta get this dope sold (Yeah, what?)/Bang, bang the lifestyle (Bang)/Too bright, we might turn your lights down.”

From there, Snoop goes on to list some of the Hip-Hop luminaries who’ve defined West Coast rap, including Ice Cube, Eazy-E, E-40, Ice-T, 2Pac and DJ Quik.

Speaking to AllHipHop, DJ Premier said, “Every record that Snoop and I have been a part of together never misses. He always delivers what I expect.”

Snoop Dogg and DJ Premier have worked together numerous times, dating back to the early 2000s. In 2003, Snoop appeared on Gang Starr’s sixth studio album, The Ownerz, and Premier later produced two songs on Snoop’s 2002 effort, Paid Tha Cost To Be Da Boss album. Preemo also contributed to “Unfucwitable” featuring The Lady Of Rage from Snoop’s Doggy Style Allstars Vol. 1. More recently, Premier and Snoop helped craft Russ’s new single, “Free” with Big K.R.I.T.

“Can U Dig That?” marks their first collaboration under DJ Premier and Ian Schwartzman’s independent imprint, TTT (To The Top). “Can U Dig That?” Premier adds, “My manager and I launched our label TTT (To The Top), and we decided to call Snoop as one of my first album collaborations. Snoop recorded a demo of the song, and it went into my vaults unfinished. Fast forward, our initial plan for an album changed, and we decided to just release singles. Snoop updated his lyrics and now it’s ready for our audience to ride out to.”

Dr. Dre Says Snoop Dogg Forgot He Recorded This Classic From “The Chronic” In Jail

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Dr. Dre had to remind Snoop Dogg of the humble and not-so-ideal origins of arguably their biggest collaborative hit—while they were on late-night TV.

During their recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Dr. Dre was joined by 50 Cent and Snoop Dogg. Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre took a walk down memory lane and ended up talking about The Chronic in the midst of their stroll. While remarking on their creative process, Dr. Dre actually had to break down how he recorded their seminal hit, “Nuthin But A ‘G’ Thang,” because Snoop forgot entirely.

The tender exchange was kicked off after Kimmel asked, “So you recorded the demo over the phone from jail,” to which Snoop affirmatively replied “No, no, no, no, no!”

At this point, Dre interjected, “Snoop doesn’t remember that, but that happened.”

”What I do,” Snoop replied seemingly confused before Dre followed up with, “I remember you being in jail, you know I’ve told you this story before. Of course he doesn’t remember.”

Though Snoop Dogg says he does remember calling Dre from jail during that time period, he wasn’t able to fill in the details, but luckily his multi-platinum producer partner-in-crime handled that for him.

”I taped the f###ing headphone to the mic,” Dre said, which prompted Snoop’s reply, “Did I spit it? DAMN!” Check out the full interview below and watch the clip above.

50 Cent, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg Play Doctors in Funny Skit

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Fresh off celebrating his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Dr. Dre hit up Jimmy Kimmel Live! with Eminem, 50 Cent and Snoop Dogg to create a hilarious skit based off the classic medical drama Grey’s Anatomy.

Jimmy Kimmel Has No Private Parts

In the spoof, which debuted on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday night (March 19), Dr. Dre stars as his namesake by playing a doctor in the ER while late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel plays a patient. The moment is a bit of a nod to 50 Cent’s own 2003 “In Da Club” video, in which Dre and Eminem play doctors who create the ultimate rapper in the G-Unit leader.

Kimmel shocks Dr. Dre when he realizes the man does not have any private parts.

“What the f**k is this?” Dre asks. “This man has no penis.”

“What?” Jimmy asks, looking befuddled. “I have a penis.”

“Not according to what I’m looking at,” Dre concludes.

From there, Dre calls Dr. Broadus, a.k.a. Snoop Dogg, to take a closer look with a magnifying glass. Then Dr. Jackson, better known as 50 Cent, arrives with a telescope to make the ultimate inspection. “Sorry,” Fif tells Jimmy while patting him on the shoulder. 50 informs both Dre and Snoop: “You guys gotta see this.”

Dre begins poking and prodding Jimmy with a medical instrument, only to pull out what looks like a “piece of bubble gum,” according to Snoop. Jimmy insists he came in to get a colonoscopy and this is not what he signed up for. Things get worse but hilariously hip-hop when the host flatlines, yet Dr. Dre uses Kimmel’s heartbeat to make a beat.

Before the skit comes to an end, Eminem makes an appearance holding a syringe full of green goo. “You only get one shot,” he says while looking directly at the camera.

“One shot, I been shot nine times,” 50 Cent tells Em, referring to the wild story when he got shot as many times in 2000, and survived the incident.

“That’s a weird flex, but OK,” Em responds.

Watch Snoop Dogg’s Epic Dr. Dre Tribute: “I Wanna Thank Me”  

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Snoop Dogg comically remixed his iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame moment to pay tribute to Dr. Dre as the Hip-Hop mogul received his own coveted star.  

On Tuesday (March 19), the Death Row honcho took to the podium to honor Dre and his legacy.  

“I wanna thank me,” he began as the audience laughed. “For taking the call from Warren and Dr. Dre in ’91, even though I hung up on Warren a few times ’cause I thought the n#### was lying.” 

After joking about being thankful for writing himself into “Deep Cover,” Snoop gave Dre his flowers.   

“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 then playfully gave himself props for “showing up on time at the Super Bowl,” before honoring Dr. Dre with a freestyle tribute.  

“Dr. Dre, my brother from another mother, a rock in the sands on the beach he’d soon discover/Now we deep cover, blood brothers on a mission, Dre’s edition,” Snoop rapped. “House with no furniture, studio in the back with a little bit of food in the kitchen/Long Beach to Compton to Calabasas, compositions; pay attention/Quincy had Michael, they rewrote the cycle/So if Dre is Q and Mike is Snoop, we bang G thang, muthafuckin supergroup.”  

Watch the rest of his verse below.

Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent & Eminem Mock Jimmy Kimmel’s Manhood In “Dre’s Anatomy” Skit 

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Jimmy Kimmel drafted a quartet of Hip-Hop royalty to assist him with an embarrassing medical issue in a hilarious “Grey’s Anatomy” parody. 

On Tuesday night (March 19) Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent and Eminem joined the talk show host in a skit that saw Kimmel rushed into Dre’s operating theater, where the good doctor made an unfortunate diagnosis.  

“This man has no penis,” Dr. Dre declared before asking “Dr. Broadus” for a second opinion. After an examination with a magnifying glass, the duo calls for specialist help.  

Dr. Jackson then emerged with a giant telescope, and “Dr. Broadus,” AKA Snoop, made Kimmel “relax” with an oxygen mask dispensing weed smoke. 

“Chill, to the next episode,” Snoop advised his patient as Kimmel’s heart rate began to drop. The EKG began beeping as Dre urged, “Turn that up.” The steady beep then transformed into the distinct opening notes of  “Still D.R.E.” 

The skit closed out with an appearance from Eminem in full surgeon’s get-up. “You only get one shot,” Em said, holding up a massive syringe filled with green goop, as 50 Cent quips, “One shot? I been shot nine times.”

The Hip-Hop heavweights’ appearance on Jimmy Kimmel came hours after Dre received a star on the coveted Hollywood Walk of Fame. 

“I’m incredibly grateful for your support throughout the years,” Dr. Dre told the crowd. “Most of us have grown up together. And at nearly 60 years old, you’re still rocking with me, and I really appreciate that. Thank you so much. Which is really good, because I’m nowhere near done. You better believe there’s a lot more coming.”

Snoop Dogg also took the podium to welcome his “brother from another mother” to the famed sidewalk.

“I want to thank me,” he said, referencing his own song. “I want to thank me for taking the call from Warren and Dr. Dre in 1991. I want to 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.”

In addition to Dr. Dre’s star, Soto-Martinez officially declared March 19 as Dre Day in the city and presented Dr. Dre with a framed plaque to commemorate the occasion. Dr. Dre is expected to make an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! alongside Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent following the ceremony.

Dr. Dre, a 9x-time Grammy Award winner, began his career as a member of the World Class Wreckin’ Cru before co-founding the revolutionary group N.W.A. In 2016, N.W.A became the fifth rap group to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They were honored with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award earlier this year. Dr. Dre’s solo career began with the 1992 release The Chronic, which has been certified 3x-platinum by the RIAA, reached the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 and won a Grammy for Best Rap Solo Performance of “Let Me Ride.”

His career has been far from perfect, however. In 1991, he brutally assaulted Pump It Up! host Dee Barnes over an interview he was upset about. In the 2017 HBO documentary The Defiant Ones, he called the incident a “blemish” on who he is as a man. Dre’s wife of 24 years, Nicole Young, filed for divorce in 2020 citing abuse. Their divorce was finalized in 2021 with Dr. Dre agreeing to pay Young $100 million.

Dr. Dre Speaks On Sibling-Like Rivalry With Snoop Dogg: “He Does Too Much”

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Dr. Dre wished his friend Snoop Dogg would stop getting involved in so many ad campaigns, businesses and other endeavors. The Aftermath Entertainment founder admitted he’s frustrated by Snoop’s lack of focus on SiriusXM’s This Life of Mine with James Corden.

“I personally think he does too much s### and we’ve been battling and bumping heads about [it],” Dr. Dre said. “Hell yeah I tell him that. I’m always in my big brother mode. I always tell him like, ‘Why the f### are you doing this and that? Come on.’ He’s like, ‘Let me live Dr. Dre, cuz. Let me do my thing, man. Do I bother you about the s### you doing, cuz?’

He continued, “So we have our—I call it sibling rivalries and s### like that, but I would love it if he’d just … focus on this thing and make sure this thing right here that we’re working on is the best that it can be.”

Dr. Dre and Snoop launched an alcoholic canned drink called Gin & Juice in February. The two are also working on a new album titled Missionary, which remained a work-in-progress due to Dr. Dre’s perfectionism.

“I said, ‘Let’s make a whole album,’ and Snoop’s crazy ass is like, ‘Cuz, we can get this whole album done in two weeks,’” the renowned producer told Corden. “I’m like, ‘No we can’t. Nah, we’re not doing that.’ Snoop recently said on some interview, ‘Dr. Dre says I need two more days and he said that to me like 85 times,’ so yeah. I just want to get it done and get it right. That’s all it is.”

Earlier this week, the Hollywood Walk of Fame announced Dr. Dre will receive a star on March 19. The star will be placed next to Snoop’s spot on the Walk of Fame.
