(GEMS RADIO)—Snoop Dogg awarded friend, collaborator, and mentor Dr. Dre with ASCAP’s Hip Hop Icon Award in Los Angeles on June 22.
“There is nobody like Dr. Dre,” said Snoop. “It’s almost unfair how many times he’s revolutionized music. If Dre had only been a member of N.W.A, we’d still remember him forever. If he had only given us The Chronic, he’d still be a Hip Hop legend.
“He’s earned eight Grammys, sold millions of records, founded some of the most successful businesses in music, but Dr. Dre has never stopped working. [He] never stopped pushing the music forward. And I can honestly say that Dr. Dre has changed my life in so many ways.”
“There’s a reason why I keep coming back to Dr. Dre,” Snoop continued, briefly touching on the dynamic duo’s bond. “We make magic together. We’ve been doing this shit for over three decades, and we still at it. Trust me, the best is yet to come.”
The ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Music Awards celebrated 50 Years of Hip Hop.
