Dr. Dre, my oldest brother, he paved the way for me and Snoop to get a chance to get into the studio. I asked him to show me how to work the MPC-60... I was about maybe 17, 18, right around there.

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

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.

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

My thing is, I don't get in nobody's business or nothing like that or try to bash anybody for what they do. I've got cousins who are gay. To me, there's just no difference. We always chill and have family functions the way we always have. It's not a problem.

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.
