Dr. Dre Recalls His First Encounter With Snoop Dogg in HBO's New 'The Defiant Ones' Clip
From bachelor party beginnings to making history in the studio.
Dr. Dre opens up about the first time he connected with Snoop Dogg for a newly-released clip from the forthcoming HBO documentary The Defiant Ones. An in-depth examination of Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine’s careers, The Defiant Ones is scheduled to debut on HBO in July. Previously, HBO treated us to a Defiant Ones trailer with special appearances from Eminem, U2’s Bono and other high-profile, talented celebrities. In today’s Defiant Ones teaser, viewers get to hear a brief part of Dr. Dre’s side of the story. “The first time I heard Snoop, a friend of mine had a bachelor party. I’d met Snoop before that—he was selling drugs—and my stepbrother Warren G pops this tape in,” Dr. Dre recalls in the new Defiant Ones preview. “I’m like ‘That’s Snoop?’ I’m like, ‘man, this is a f*cking diamond in the rough and we need to polish it up!’”
