Walk of Fame: Jimmy Kimmel Interviews Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg & Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson

Believe it or not, Jimmy Kimmel Live! is the first late night show music legend Dr. Dre has appeared on in over 30 years.

To celebrate finally being honoured wih star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, host Jimmy Kimmel invited Dre and his friends Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent on the show for a lively discussion.

Check out the video below, along with the YouTube description of the episode:

Dr. Dre makes his first late night television appearance in over 30 years! He talks about getting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, LA coming out to support him, fans he has met throughout the years including a group of nuns, the many artists he has worked with, the collaborative process of making a track or album, using samples from old albums, and using random objects to create songs.

Then Snoop joins to talk about how he met Dr. Dre, how they came up with the name The Chronic (which they disagree on), being unavailable to record a demo of “Nuthin’ but a “G” Thang,” recording new music together for their new album Missionary, and making “Gin & Juice” together.

Then Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson joins to talk about what Dr. Dre means to him, getting introduced to him by Eminem, what he did with his first million dollars, practicing abstinence, and they all talk about playing the Super Bowl together, being nervous to play their music for Dre, their group text chains, and Dre announces that Eminem is working on a new album that will be coming out this year!
