Dr. Dre reflects on longtime relationship with Eminem.
Dr. Dre made an appearance on The Life of Mine with James Corden which premiered on SiriusXM. In the interview, the veteran producer reflected on his longtime relationship with Eminem and called him the best rapper to touch the microphone.
“I think he’s the best emcee ever. Point blank, period,” said Dr. Dre. “Of course, there are going to be arguments about that because he’s a white guy. I don’t think anyone that’s rapping can touch Eminem on that microphone.”
He then recalled meeting Eminem for the first time at Jimmy Iovine’s Office and recording ‘My Name Is’ during their first time together in the studio. “I met Eminem at Jimmy Iovine’s office,” he reveals. “We slapped hands, went to the studio and started recording and I’m not sure if anybody knows this, but I think the first four albums was just me and him and his writing and his delivery and his imagination is off the charts and I don’t think anyone would disagree with that.”
“I was playing with the MPC and I hit play on it and he just went, ‘Hi, my name is.’ It happened that fast. No bullsh-t, and then we went from there and that was the beginning of this relationship.”
