In a recent episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Dr. Dre dropped some major bombs, from his Hollywood Walk of Fame star to exciting news about upcoming albums. The hip-hop icon shared his disbelief at receiving such a prestigious honor, admitting it wasn’t even on his radar until later in life. Can you imagine that? It’s like finding out your favorite pizza joint delivers to Mars!
Joined by 50 Cent and Snoop Dogg on the talk show couch, Dre spilled the beans about their upcoming project, a sequel to Snoop’s iconic album “Doggystyle.” Hold onto your hats, folks, because the album’s title is none other than “Missionary.” And no, it’s not about spreading the good word; it’s about spreading the good vibes through killer beats and rhymes. According to Snoop, the album is nearing completion, with Dre himself set to start mixing it in April. Talk about a musical feast in the making!
But wait, there’s more! Dre didn’t stop there. He also let slip some juicy details about Eminem’s highly-anticipated new album. Can we get a drumroll, please? Slim Shady is back in the game, folks! Dre confirmed that Em’s album is set to drop this year, and he’s even got some fire tracks on it. It’s like Christmas came early for hip-hop heads everywhere!
And if that wasn’t enough to get you buzzing, Dre, Snoop, 50 Cent, and even Eminem himself teamed up for a hilarious skit on the show. Picture this: hip-hop legends-turned-surgeons in a parody of “Grey’s Anatomy.” The laughter was contagious as they tried to cure Jimmy Kimmel’s fictional medical mishaps. Who knew hip-hop icons had such a knack for comedy?
So, mark your calendars and get ready to groove because 2024 is shaping up to be one heck of a year for hip-hop!
