Jimmy Kimmel Interviews Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg & Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson

our first guest tonight is one of the most Innovative successful and influential people in the history of popular music he's got so many Grammys they named one after him today he was immortalized with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame please say hello to Dr Dre well thank you for coming look at you you really are 6122 of pure chocolate you know what I don't want that right now stop playing by the way just for my uh just a disclaimer okay that skit was Jimmy's idea just so everybody knows okay Congratulations by the way did you ever imagine you'd have a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame no I didn't I was not in my mentor at roler deex at all when you were a kid did you ever come down here to Hollywood and look at those Stars let me tell you something I didn't see Hollywood until I was 16 years old I think so interesting you never made it over here huh no nothing north of Wilshire yeah but when you were 16 you got here what what were you up to then um I'd rather not say oh they had to shut it was a lot of fun let me just put it that way they had to shut the whole Boulevard down because there were so many people to see you today did you imagine that that was going to happen no no I didn't but it was fantastic La showed up for me to they really did show up fantastic that was fantastic I didn't expect it to be that many people out there to represent but that was great is it weird for you when the cops are there and they're like Dr Dre sometimes that's weird yeah it's a little strange right do you get often get surprised by people who are uh fans you size them up you go this can't possibly be yes that this happens sometimes actually there was one time I think I can't remember where I was but I was at a hotel in the lobby and a group of nuns came by yes and they were like Dr Dre I'm like get the right and I'm like how do you know my music and they were like well we deal with a lot of um kids and they love your music and I took pictures with like I think it was six nuns oh that's great that actually happened that's pretty good yeah you have worked with um so many you launched so many careers worked with so many people NWA of course easy East Snoop Dog 50 Cent Eminem Tupac Kendrick Lamar Anderson pack Mary J bludge when Stefani and Eve TI Buster rymes Alicia Keys Missy Elliot exhibit warrant GG unit Big Pun nap dog Jay-Z the game uh MC Scat Cat oh wait a minute that might be that may have been an error but um I mean that is that's a tremendous amount of work man that's a lot of work and that's quite a you have thank you thank you thank you I would imagine the answer to this is yes but do artists from other genres often approach you and ask you to work with them yes all the time but you know my love is with hip-hop it really depends on the relationship if I meet somebody that we you know we click and what have you then I'll go in a studio and get down even if it's not your type of music like if it was a like let's say Dolly Parton wanted to record love Dolly Parton oh that's something you would consider yes absolutely jolane is one of my favorite songs oh there you go like you would you could produce anybody right it's not about what the music is it's about making absolutely I could do that but hip hop is my love it's your love and in when you make a song with with an artist you the artist comes in do they come in with the whole like a lot of times I mean like I think Dolly Parton will write all her songs and she'll show up and she has the song all kind of ready to go and they record it you though lay the set the table right you you really are much more involved in the song than most producers well usually the track is laid out every now and then the artist comes in with the lyrics first and that has only happened a couple of times in my career one time was with Eminem on a song called Forgot About Dre uhhuh yeah yeah yes yes so nothing comes out when they move their lips you know right yeah Eminem Eminem wrote that he had the entire song written before the track so we had to make the track work with his lyrics so he wrote that entire song is it true that you don't like the artist to write the lyrics down on paper no that's not true that that happens I mean these days it it just feels a little bit boring as a producer to sit in the studio and wait for an artist to go away or go in another room and write the lyrics while you're sitting there waiting so I'd like it to be a collaborative effort and once the track is them we're collaborating with the lyrics and that's how are it in the movies and sometimes in television producers don't do anything like I'm learning that now they do nothing yeah they their name is on the thing yeah the word producer executive producer in the movies it mean Absol it means absolutely nothing I'm starting to learn that yeah you know you I know listen to a lot of music you're looking for inspiration you're going through old records like you go to yard sales where do you get all your records I used to you did I used to I used to go to Pond shops and what have you to find different sounds for music because back in the day I had let's say one or two keyboards to make an entire album so I had to figure out ways to make the sounds different so I would go in pond shops and find guitar pedals and what have you to make the Sounds in this one particular keyboard sound different so I can make an entire album using One keyboard do you still do that no the song the next episode that everybody knows this is a huge huge hit this is where you got the um the music track from this album you go to an a pawn shop and this is one you take all man you know what I I I collect records I've been collecting albums but not this one that was part that was a part of it Jimmy like International records like Lilo schiffrin and all these types of this guy was on NCIS really I I didn't know that you know he was yeah this just happened to be a song that was in one of my crates you know and it worked out you went through every track on this album and found that yes and you're like oh that's great and he never really looked at the cover and said man maybe not no no to be honest with you I sampled this song before I knew who the artist was did you ever meet this guy no I never met him unfortunately he's passed away so it's not going to happen I me you um you also sometimes uh will create sounds uh that instruments don't make so like like they do in the movies kind of right yeah so what are some sounds that you've created we used to have to bring trash cans and boxes and just different things that would make sounds for a snare drum or a Kick Drum and that was just like part of the creative process at that time which to be to be honest with you was much more fun than yeah now you can just turn on the computer and you can find all the things that took us hours to to find you could find that in two seconds so you bring in a trash can and just like bang on the trash can sometimes yes yeah would you uh ever record like a children's album like redo baby shark or something like that not baby shark but a children's album maybe you would yeah o that would be something else yeah the parents might be a little bit upset about it yeah yeah yeah it you'd have to put a sticker on it for sure all right are you ready for this because it's going to be kind of like this is your life you remember that old show where we bring out from your life let's go okay so we're going to take a break Dr Dre is here um Snoop Dog is here 50 Cent is here and we'll be back with Snoop after this we are back with Dr Dre our next guest and Dre go together like jyn and Juice they teamed up to make some of the biggest hip-hop hits of all time please say hello to the Dog Father Snoop Doggy Dog [Applause] [Music] welcome welcome what up Jim good to see you happy Dre Day to you yes sir were you excited to see Dre get a star excited for I'm Dr Dre's biggest fan you are are you man yeah you guys love each I got to tell you I feel like the three of us don't spend enough time together we really oh by the way Snoop I you made you and guo made up I heard you spoke came on TV and lied on me right he did I wasn't in the bathroom so what I did was I sent the APB out on him and we brought him in the backstage and we got him right so now he lit lit good now we Happ real good [Applause] yeah so the story goes and correct me if I have any of this wrong it's new pet a friend named and G who happened to be your stepbrother yes and he put you guys together yes the story went something like that yeah the story was I was at a bachelor party and and um my step brother Warren G just popped his tape in and said listen to this you know and it was snoop's voice and I said can we meet can we meet in the studio you know long story short I think it was two days later or something like that Snoop came in the studio Snoop had no idea about song structure or anything like that he just came here rapping you and you get that did you get that a lot where people bring a tape for you to listen at when you're at like a social Gathering you're like oh boy here we go all the time but you know yeah I I've never found an an artist from a demo tape other than Snoop and Eminem really never other than Snoop and Eminem So then um uh you guys made The Chronic and and uh whose idea was this I'm unclear on what the answer to this is whose idea was the title The Chronic okay that's a good question okay my first time smoking weave I was in the car in my driveway and I think we were halfway through the album and there was a female I'm not going to say her name and she was it was it former first lady Barbara Bush no no no jimy all right just it wasn't that I'm trying to keep it you know okay so yeah it's my first time smoking weed you know and I asked her what it was and that's what she told me and boom here we are she said this is called The Chronic spoken and you said that now Snoop I've heard you say that you came up with the chronic well well let me tell you my story is okay me and you in the back seat no no no no no no no no no no no me and my homies was in Long Beach right and it was a white guy that used to come through the poly apartments and bring us bud and he had hydroponic but we smoked it and started saying hydrochronic and flipped it and then that's when we started saying oh this weed is Bomb it's The Chronic And Dre's album was so bomb it only was right for it to call it the chronic because it was the bombest thing on the street okay all right which story do you believe well I'm going to say that any or the Drinker right any story that involves smoking weed is questionable just to start with I mean who the hell knows it could have come from somewhere else for all we know so then um Dre wanted to record a demo of Nothing But a G thing and you were unavailable at that time you were um uh indisposed corre correct I was incarcerated you were incarcerated what were you incarcerated for I was on probation and um I had a toothache at the time and one of my family members was the peel lady so I went to go see her and she gave me a peill and when I went to go take a test I had a dirty test for having a medical marijuana is what you got no oh it wasn't medical the pill that I took from my tooth was a cine oh the pill oh okay and I didn't have a prescription and that that time I didn't want to give up my auntie so I was like I don't know where I got it from oh I would have sent my aunt right to jail right to jail that's a lot of info wow so then you recorded the demo over the phone from jail no no no no no no Snoop doesn't remember that that happen what' I do you Rec I I remember you being in jail you know I've told you this story I remember I remember calling you from in jail bro of course he doesn't remember I remember calling you from the jail cuz come on give me the story yeah and I taped the uh the verse no I taped the headphone to the to the mic and I spit it yeah damn that was yes that was the first demo of Nothing But a G thing damn that was dope it's one of the nice thing about the hydroponic is you can relive moments from your life over and over and over again yeah yeah and that's how you used your one phone call is recording that do you guys ever strongly disagree when you're in this ain't always peanut butter and jelly really it's it's sometime it's chicken and uh and cornbread and mixes it's a mix and match but the thing is this I allow Dr Dre to drive which means that I do give him control and I don't have a problem with getting in the passenger seat and becoming Snoop Doggy Dog and letting my mentor lead the way I see all right but but but you're also saying that from time to time the dog will bite no the dog sits in the passenger seat and he adjusts the music but he never grabs the steering wheel I heard you guys are working on something right now is that true yes [Music] absolutely okay let me take it from here let me take it from here um as long as we've been knowing each other it's um okay the first album I've done with Snoop was in 1993 and it's the only album I've ever produced on Snoop right 30 years ago so now believe it or not we're getting together again and we're almost done with the album the first album was called doggy style so we decided to flip it and call this one missionary that's Jimmy favorite position that's your favorite position Jimmy been in missionary for 30 [Laughter] years that's good I like that when will it come out do you know oh it's going to come out I know but when that's why you asked that question I'm glad Dr Dre will begin mixing in mid April does Dr Dre know that yes I'll ask him okay yeah you ask him you guys also have and I don't know why did it take you guys this has to be the weed that it took you 30 years to come out with gin and juice I mean this seems like this should have been out a long time ago yes okay so let me tell you this is the part of the show that Jimmy iine is going to love Jimmy IV I spotted him in the audience earlier this is the part of the show that he's going to love he's been waiting for this part of the show yeah does Jimmy drink this Jimmy you drink this which is your favorite flavor you like the passion fruit that's my favorite too Jimmy we ain't got but two one of them up here we going to have to share what's going on listen we've known each other long enough I like the apricot but you like apricot yes Dre like apricot give me that melon cuz I like all right hey you know what let's have a let's have some ginna juice I've always wanted to have jna juice with you guys and a toast to Jimmy ivine as well we'll be right back with gr Snoop and 50 more than 20 years ago our next guest made a visit to Dr Dre to make one of the most popular hip-hop albums ever please welcome to multi talented the multi- tattooed Curtis 50 Cent [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Jackson [Applause] how are you 50 thank you for being here it's very good to see you I feel good to be here man it's great to have you here you were on we were talking to Snoop and uh we were talking you were on our second ever show yeah see technically Jimmy is hopping because of you Trey that's right you did I didn't think that I didn't think about it that way the first show a hit then when I came it made it hot again and Jimmy blew up and he start part of the aftermath good point I know you are uh you joke around a lot but uh what does fif what does Dr Dre mean to you that question really yeah I want you know what I'd like to get some tears going here no Dre is like a complete inspiration for me like I've been listening to his music before it was even a serious idea for me to get next to him and then when I got to the studio CU like even that first record it was four days but it was like I think we did eight joints no it was seven days okay let me tell you the story so let me interrupt it for a second just for a second so I did the get rich of die trying it was supposed to be me producing half of the album and Eminem producing the other half I was in the studio with 50 for just seven days for my entire half of the album yeah he came in there and went crazy writing all right put up another one writing put up another one and we got the entire thing done in seven days at least my hat yeah that's what happened it was it was like I felt like we was done in four but we went audition today like you know what I mean CU he he had ideas and things that he he's very meticulous he wants it to be perfect so you got to do it no say this like this D I'm like okay yeah okay Eminem introduce you yeah yeah I mean if I needed him to get to him you took less money to work with Dr Dre than you could have received from I got a lot of money though he gave me that's not true he gave me a lot of money they gave me a lot of money how much money did give you I had a million dollars like a million dollar out of the neighborhood that's a lot of a lot of money yeah what' you do with the million when you got it Jimmy Jim me stop asking a man what he did with his money man right I mean but the first the first thing I did was like I got my grandmother a car that's so all right that's good that's good nice you know cuz I had I had opportunity like we I had small amounts of money before like and when I got it like burnt the whole me and it never got a chance to do nothing it really affected anything in my you know she did Tre give you advice did he'd say listen here's how you should handle your money here's what you should should not do he didn't he did not he didn't tell me that he was like you know you'll be all right you guys uh you played the Super Bowl together that was quite a show best of all time ready I want to point out this this photograph is not upside down you were upside down that looks unpleasant Jimmy I was like 30 lbs heavier at that point too I was not ready for that I was I never looked at it like that I was playing I was playing an institutionalized guy on ABC it was as big as possible he wasn't supposed to be like 50 Cent uhhuh and I gained through all of the weight and then I decided I was going to come in and I wanted to have an intro like the the music video so I was like upside down and I really didn't think that out cuz we had for like seven days I was like upside down doing my part and I was like if I fall on my head like R versus reward right what do I get like but everybody else was coming in like Snoop just came and doing this thing like that it's like yeah pretty crazy I don't know what made you wanted to go upside down I've been there many times so you go well this turned out to be a bad idea didn't it yeah well it it was one of those things where and then my weight was like shifted the other way so it made me feel a lot bigger than I was it just wasn't that combination could have went that could have went a little different like that one we got a little uh bit of news about the album that's coming out missionary are you on the album yeah I got one with Snoop he I like yeah oh we wow I'll tell you how that works yeah tell me how it works I get a a a text message I get a text from from from Dre and I get a text from em and almost simultaneously so it goes like uh oh and it go stop so mean stop what you're doing I don't care if you're producing television shows I don't care what you're doing stop and figure out how to get this done for us right now because it's that urgent and then I went and wrote I wrote my part because to me that's what it feels like right I I better because those other people don't mean the same thing to me uh right sure yeah when I get it done I send it back and I get the fire emojis back so Dre you usually don't say things I usually get something it's different like he'll go like this he won't even say yo I like that one he'll go like [Laughter] this so you're telling me Dr Dre uses emojis that's something I never imagined well tell me about this text chain who's on the text chain oh well it was it was two Separates Me M and and Dre at the point well like you guys like when something happens that you think is funny like let's say a famous uh hip-hop artist um who uh finds himself in a very embarrassing situation like do you guys immediately start texting each other about that no that that's 50 and Snoop yeah yeah I'll be watching I'm watching his Instagram all the time so it's like I see it and I'll say I'll repost what he just did yeah yeah I know you like doing that kind of stuff yeah yeah we'll be right back with d new B 50 Cent we are back with Dr Dre Sno dog and 50 Cent it is Dre day I feel like we're really just now getting loose here yeah yeah I feel like the view this is like um I feel very much like Whoopi right now wow you um this is something that you posted on Instagram earlier this year Curtis uh I don't have time to be distracted I'm practicing abstinence um from what exactly Jimmy I'm focused right now you're focused my life is better things are a little clearer no I know no married people you married they say happy wife happy life yeah they say that you look like happy hostages right you me know you're held under these new special restraints now when I'm not focus on that and I got how long have you been is this like one of those things like when Snoop said he was quitting um smoking abstinence is this like snoop's bull abstinence or is this real abstinence this this is real AB just well you know I'm trying to surv I'm trying to make it the lent really how long has it been it's been wow so two months and then so Easter Sunday look out yeah yeah I've been working out more two months yeah I've been working out more like you know the guys in jails I hope they practice enough yeah well you know sometimes they do and sometimes they don't all right I don't believe that this absent this is actually happening I don't believe it either you believe yeah no it's real it's real guys I I feel like my friends don't even believe in me now yeah what about Eminem uh he was uh he was here a little bit earlier he headed back home uh is he on this album with you guys did he did he do something I could I could get him to do it you could get him to do it it's are you let me tell you something let me let me explain something to you right now Eminem is working on his own album which is coming out this year and he's yeah yeah oh yeah yes and I and I actually talked to him and he said it was okay for me to make that announcement

close to his chest so I haven't heard everything I haven't even heard everything complete that I've done but I'm going to hear it and he's putting out an album this year oh so you actually haven't

guys when you're sitting there Snoop Curtis you're sitting there and you're playing something for Dre for the first time what are you looking for reaction wise I'm I'm watching I just like to like I'm not paying attention and I'm just watching him the whole time Snoop are you doing the same thing I'm nervous cuz you're nervous and Dre are you aware and are you giving pretend extra enthusiasm

brutally hon if you garbage he's going to tell you have you had that situation where you have isn't that's what you isn't that what you want you want somebody in your people in your circle didn't just
