Mogul Dr. Dre has received a star on Hollywood’s walk of fame recently after his many years in the music industry. This comes after fellow peers and friends such as Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube and even the late rapper Tupac have received their very own star.
In attendance were Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Eminem, Jimmy Iovine and others to support Dre. Speaking during his acceptance speech, he says:
“I wanna thank the Hollywood chamber of commerce who felt that I was ready to walk in the footsteps of Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent all of whom got stars before me for some f—ing reason. Don’t trip, I’m not bitter, it’s all good. I’m here now,” he joked with the crowd.
“Growing up in Compton, I never imagined that I would one day be represented here among some of my childhood heroes,” he began. “I’ve been fortunate enough to make a living doing exactly what I love to do. How about that? Isn’t that the dream?”
He continued, “Over the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege of finding and nurturing new talent as well as pushing the boundaries in hip-hop both in content and substance. But I’m most proud of elevating the sound and clarity of how we experience hip-hop. Getting that thing right is one of my greatest achievements. I love that this honor is unique to Los Angeles and brings fans from all over the world to connect with their favorite artists. I’ll be here forever.”
