Dr. Dre Receives Star On Hollywood Walk of Fame

Dr. Dre was honored Tuesday at a Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony.

The rapper and producer’s star is next to Snoop Dogg’s star, who also attended the star-revealing ceremony.  Snoop spoke fondly about Dre, whom he called his “brother from another mother.”

Snoop Dogg also thanked Dr. Dre for their partnership, his perfectionism, and for collaborating with him on music projects in the studio.

“I want to thank me. I want to thank me for taking the call from Warren and Dr. Dre in 1991,” Snoop Dogg said.

“I want to thank me for listening to Dre over the years and letting him be my teacher, mentor, brother, guardian, protector and most importantly a good friend.”

Dre, legally known as Andre Young and a nine-time GRAMMY Award-winning artist, received his star in the Recording category, CBS News reported.

“Growing up in Compton, I never imagined that I would one day be represented here among some of my childhood heroes,” Dr. Dre said at the ceremony.

During Tuesday’s ceremony, Dr. Dre said he just focused on his passion for hip hop, and the rest followed.

“I’ve been fortunate enough to make a living doing exactly what I love to do,” Dr. Dre said.
