Dr. Dre has just lately mentioned about Eminem and Snoop Dogg at the SiriusXM’s The Time of Mine display.
Talking of Eminem, Dre mentioned, “I think he’s the best emcee ever. Point blank, period. Of course, there are going to be arguments about that because he’s a white guy. I don’t think anyone that’s rapping can touch Eminem on that microphone.”
“I met Eminem at Jimmy Iovine’s office. We slapped hands, went to the studio and started recording, and I’m not sure if anybody knows this, but I think the first four albums was just me and him and his writing and his delivery and his imagination is off the charts,” recalled Dre.
Reflecting on his courting with Eminem, Dre discussed, “I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. I was playing with the MPC and I hit play on it, and Eminem just went, ‘Hi, my name is’. It happened that fast. No bullshit, and then we went from there, and that was the beginning of this relationship.
Elsewhere on the show, Dre also opened up about working on a project with Snoop, Missionary.
He disclosed, “I’ve only produced one album on Snoop, which was in 1993, Doggystyle.”
“I mean, we’ve done some songs, and we’ve played around in between, of course, but that is the one and only album I’ve produced on Snoop, Doggystyle, so we decided to call this one Missionary,” defined Dre.
He added, “Snoop is really sounding fantastic, and people are gonna be really shocked and amazed at how we’ve been able to come back together after all these years and do something. It’s really interesting.”
