dr. Dre was feeling the love at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony.
The rapper and producer, 59, received his own star at a ceremony with loved ones by his side on Tuesday.
Jimmy Iovine, who co-founded Dre’s Beats Electronics and CEO of Interscope Geffen A&M, and longtime friend and collaborator Snoop Dogg spoke at the event. Eminem and 50 Cent were in the audience to show their support.
“I want to say thank you 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.
Then the “Drop It Like It’s Hot” rapper started rapping to a standing ovation from the crowd.

“Dr. Dre, my brother from another mother, a rock in the sand on the beach that he would soon discover, now we are deep covering blood brothers on a mission. Dre’s release,” he said. “House with no furniture, studio in the back with some food in the kitchen. Tracks from Long Beach to Compton to Calabasas. Pay attention. Quincy had Michael, they rewrote the cycle. So if Dre’s Q and Mike’s Snoop, we’re pounding G thang motherf—ing super group Death Row.”
“Look at us now, over 30 years later, and we’re still working in the studio and you’re still making me repeat every sentence 100 times. Still,” he continued. “And I thank you for that, perfectionist. I thank you for being a perfectionist and always pushing me to be great. You always bring out the best in Dogg, Dr. Dre and I appreciate that. There would be Snoop without Dre. Together we created magic in the studio and our collaborations have left their mark in the world of music.”

dr. Dre doesn’t think any other rapper ‘can touch’ Eminem on the mic — even though ‘He’s white’
In Iovine’s speech, he called Dre “the greatest ever.”
“Dre is the best partner, friend, ally you could ever have,” he said. “For all you wannabe entertainers, when you go to bed tonight, pray you meet Dr. Dre.”

As his star was revealed, rappers stood by him and cheered him on. After that, they took a photo together.
It’s no surprise that Eminem (51) was there to support his longtime collaborator. During an interview on SiriusXM This Life of Mine with James CordenDre said the “Love Yourself” icon could top anyone else in the game — despite being “white.”
“His imagination is off limits, and I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. I think he’s the best MC ever. Period, period,” he said. “Of course there’s going to be a debate about that because he’s white. I don’t think anyone who raps can touch Eminem on that mic.”

Meanwhile, in 2022, Eminem said Dre’s stay in the hospital after suffering a brain aneurysm in January 2021 was what prompted him and Snoop Dogg to end their feud.
“Me and Snoop had our little problem and then when Dre, when it happened with Dre, the brain aneurysm thing…” the “Without Me” singer told his longtime manager Paul Rosenberg on SiriusXM Paul Pod: Curtain Call 2. “We thought, bro, this is stupid. This is fucking stupid that we’re fighting now. Well, I don’t remember if I called him, or he called me, I can’t remember, but we talked.
In 2022, Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem and 50 Cent performed during the Super Bowl halftime show alongside Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar.
