Late-night talk-show host and Academy Awards MC Jimmy Kimmel, was the butt of a joke when Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent and Eminem piled in for a surgery sketch that aired Tuesday (3.19) on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Takes the lead in the “Dre’s Anatomy” sketch, Dre witnesses Kimmel on his back in the ER, with his privates under scrutiny.
As the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame-inducted producer and hip-hop’s first billionaire, struggles to locate the issue, Snoop (as “Dr Jackson,”) introduce an array of instruments fit for the task. Snoop applies some of his special (marijuana) smoke, and as Kimmel flatlines, the unmistakable sounds of “Still D.R.E.” kick in as the hip-hop legends get down to operate on some beats. Crisis averted.
Late in the skit, Eminem appears to give it “one shot” with a mean looking green goo prepped in a horse-sized syringe.
Born Andre Romell Young, Dre might not’ve earned the M.D. letters after his name, but the West Coast legend now has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Dre was awarded the 2,775th star during a star-studded presentation on Tuesday (3.19), with the likes of Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Eminem and Beats co-founder Jimmy Iovine in attendance and sharing words of praise for the creative.
In his acceptance speech, Dre said “Growing up in Compton, I never imagined that I would one day be represented here among some of my childhood heroes.” :I’ve been fortunate enough to make a living doing exactly what I love to do. How about that? Isn’t that the dream?” “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.”
As a former member of N.W.A., Dre was inducted into the Rock Hall in 2020, and in 2023 he was named by Billboard as the greatest rap producer of all-time.
