I was a Dr. Dre fan.

There's a synergy with Dre and me.

I would like to work with Dr. Dre.

I'm trying to be the Dr. Dre of Cleveland.

Dr. Dre's '2001' album changed modern pop music.

I got invited to work on Dre's 'Compton' project.

I'm bringing what Snoop and Dre was bringing to the game.

My PSA was normal but the DRE indicated there may be a problem.

Dr. Dre is the most influential artist and producer in hip-hop history.

Dre is one of those guys that doesn't mind fighting at the drop of a hat.

That was my first real connection with Dre - that we both liked to drink.

I'm cool with Dr. Dre, I have his phone number, and he picks up when I call.

But working with Dre, I grew up with his music, so I'm still like more a fan.

Me and Dr. Dre didn't speak for a while because I was going through my problems.

A lot of people who work with Dre, you're lucky if anything sees the light of day.

We're very clear on 'black-ish' about how many opinions are voiced by Dre Johnson.

I started a YouTube channel called Days of Dre. There's a lot of content on there.

I just do my thing regardless of whoever I'm with: Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop, whoever.

When I work with Dre, he usually does more than 100 records and then picks his favorites.

I feel like me and YG are the closest to Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg that people are gonna get.

I always have my Beats by Dr. Dre headphones turned up high. I'll probably be deaf by age 50.

For me, I put Mac Dre right up there with Biggie and 'Pac as legends who have since passed on.

I would love to work with Eminem, Dr. Dre. I wish I could have been in the studio with Bob Marley.

Seeing Dre looking all cut up and in shape made me want to get myself together and look right, too.

Everything Dre and I do is completely on feel. We don't prepare for anything... we only work on instinct.

Dr. Dre I've always been a huge fan of. The Roots as well. The Roots gave me an appreciation for live music.

I don't think there's anybody that has such a keen sense of vocal production and attention to detail as Dre.

Dre is someone I've looked up to since 1985 when he came to my college and performed with The Wrecking Crew.

I think most I regret the way I treated Dr. Dre after he so graciously opened the doors to his kingdom to me.

I like Jaykae. He's a great artist, and I absolutely love Dr. Dre's album and a bit of Calvin Harris now and then.

Growing up, I heard as much E-40 and Mac Dre on the radio as I did 50 Cent. It's in our culture to support our own.

There's people who I admire like... Dr. Dre, Puff Daddy, Master P, people who built their stuff and are still going.

A lot of people in my family have high blood pressure. Dre told me I better start hitting the gym... so I took his advice.

Our favourite album that we always listen to in the car is '2001' by Dr. Dre, which is just the ultimate album of all time.

Thank you to Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Universal Studios, and the Grammys for telling the story of what Compton was and is becoming.

I really didn't even pick producers. I just picked beats, except for Dre - he's the only producer I knew I wanted to work with.

Dre was one of my heros in the music industry. If he's not down for his homeboys, I don't wanna be a part of him or around him.

It would feel like a smack in the face to sign with any label outside of Dre's. He took a risk on me, and that means everything.

The majority of people, especially young people, know Dr. Dre because of Beats by Dre, not necessarily from him being a rap artist.

Hip hop has been an integral part of my life and my whole career. I started off doing videos with Ice Cube and Dre and Mary J. Blige and TLC.

It's whatever - people like me and Dre are music people, so we're beyond just hip-hop. We're purists. Not everybody who makes beats is a purist.

When Dre and I started making the 'Straight Outta Compton' record, every day on our way to the studio, we would listen to the 'It Takes A Nation' album.

When Wu-Tang came, Wu-Tang was for that era, right there. When Dre had it in the West Coast, it was for that time. Biggie and them, it was for that time.

I'd met Dr Dre, he was thinking about his next album, we talked a little and he said, 'Let me give you some of these loops and see what you come up with'.

I don't care if it's Dr. Dre or Dr. Luke or Brian Eno. When you're in a studio and making music together, it becomes pretty apparent if you see eye to eye.

I grew up in Oakland, California, and there was a really active scene in the Bay Area. Everyone else knew it as the 'Hyphy Movement' of Mac Dre, E-40, and The Pack.

These people dissing Dr. Dre, they need to get off their cell phones for about a week and come back to reality. They have no idea. Do what he did and then talk to me.

My goal there on the business side of things is to become the Dr. Dre of social media. He was mentoring younger artists and helping them launch their careers, like Eminem.

I didn't have a resume when Lil Wayne hired me. I didn't have a resume when Beats by Dre flew me across the country to be their 12th employee. I still don't have a resume!

From the moment I started writing raps, I was always aware of the pressure. I always wanted to live up to how huge Snoop got, how huge Dre got, how huge Pac got. I was always aware.
