Biografía

Became an employee of Apple Inc. on May 28, 2014 after it was announced that Apple will purchase his company Beats Electronics.

Credited for discovering rapper Eminem.

First hip-hop artist to gain mainstream acceptance with gangsta music with the album "The Chronic" (1992).

Reconciled with fellow MC/actor Ice Cube in 1993. Ice Cube departed from NWA in 1990 after a dispute with Ruthless Records heads Jerry Heller and Eazy-E.

His stepbrother, Warren G, played a demo tape of Snoop Dogg at a party, which prompted Dre to record the title theme for the film La cara sucia de la ley (1992), which appeared during the ending credits.

[asked if he thought that Eminem's being white would affect his being signed by Dre's record label Aftermath] I don't care if he's purple, as long as he can rap!

I got Ice Cube his start. I also launched Eazy-E. There ain't no question that NWA became what it was in large part because of my music and my producing. Me and Eazy had agreed from Jump Street that we was to be partners. Now Eazy says he's the owner of the record company, Ruthless. Well, let him own it then. But I was never supposed to be signed to him or owned by him.

[about the misogyny in his songs) Black women are the strongest, most hardworking people on earth. The shit I talk on records about black women is just that: shit.

The only two things that scare me are God and the IRS.

I'm never gonna stop music, it's like air to me.
