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

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.

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 exercise, and I eat reasonably, and I don't want to look at myself being out of shape. That would depress me.

It's really easy with makeup to look like you're trying too hard, like a clown. That's not what you want!

I want you to see that I'm looking. Look at me look at you. I'm cool with that.
