Hip-Hop Royalty Reunites: Eminem, 50 Cent, and Snoop Dogg Join Dr. Dre for His Hollywood Walk of Fame Star Ceremony

On March 19, 2024, the Hollywood Walk of Fame welcomed one of hip-hop’s most influential figures, Dr. Dre (born Andre Young), as he received the 2,775th star in the Recording category. The ceremony, held at 6840 Hollywood Boulevard in front of the El Capitan Entertainment Centre—conveniently next to longtime friend Snoop Dogg’s own star—became an unforgettable gathering of rap legends. Eminem, 50 Cent, and Snoop Dogg stood alongside Dre, celebrating the producer, rapper, and entrepreneur whose career has shaped modern music for decades.

The event drew a crowd of fans, family, and industry insiders, turning the typically star-studded sidewalk honor into a powerful display of loyalty and legacy. Dr. Dre, at 59 years old (turning 60 later that year), delivered a humorous yet heartfelt acceptance speech that reflected on his journey from Compton streets to global icon status.

“I’d like to thank the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce who felt that I was finally ready to walk in the footsteps of Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent & all of whom got stars before me for some reason,” Dre quipped to the cheering audience. “Don’t trip, I’m not bitter. It’s all good, I’m here now.” He continued with gratitude: “I’ve been fortunate enough to make a living doing exactly what I love to do. I’m incredibly grateful for your support throughout the years, most of us have grown up together. At nearly 60 years old, you’re still rocking with me and I really appreciate that, which is really good because I’m nowhere near done.”

The lighthearted jab at his peers—many of whom received their stars years earlier—underscored the camaraderie that has defined Dre’s career. Ice Cube earned his star in 2016, Snoop Dogg in 2018, and 50 Cent in 2020, while Dre’s came after a career that revolutionized hip-hop through N.W.A, Death Row Records, Aftermath Entertainment, and Beats by Dre.

The ceremony featured heartfelt tributes from close collaborators. Snoop Dogg, who has worked with Dre since the early 1990s on classics like The Chronic and Doggystyle, took the podium to call him “my teacher, mentor, brother, guardian, protector, and most importantly a good friend.” Snoop delivered custom bars: “On a serious note, Dr. Dre, my brother-from-another-mother, a rock in the sand on a beach he’d soon discover, now we deep cover, blood brothers, on a mission… Quincy had Michael, they rewrote the cycle. So if Dre is Q and Mike is Snoop, we bang G thang, motherf***ing supergroup.” He praised Dre’s perfectionism, noting how the producer still makes him redo lines “100 times” in the studio.

Jimmy Iovine, co-founder of Beats Electronics with Dre and longtime Interscope executive, also spoke, highlighting their shared history and Dre’s role in elevating hip-hop’s sound quality and cultural impact. Radio host Big Boy emceed the event, listing attendees and emphasizing Dre’s reluctance to accept the honor initially—he needed convincing, with Big Boy invoking Snoop and Ice Cube as examples to persuade him.

Eminem and 50 Cent, both discovered and launched by Dre through Aftermath Entertainment, attended to show support. Eminem, whom Dre signed in 1998 after hearing his demo, and 50 Cent, whose 2003 debut Get Rich or Die Tryin’ was executive-produced by Dre, joined for photos and cheers as the star was unveiled. The reunion echoed their 2022 Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show performance, where Dre headlined alongside Snoop, Eminem, 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar—an Emmy-winning spectacle that celebrated West Coast hip-hop.

Family was also present, with three of Dre’s nine children—Truice Young, Tyler Young, and Truly Young—joining the celebration. The ceremony marked a milestone for the Compton native who began as a member of World Class Wreckin’ Cru in the 1980s before co-founding N.W.A in 1986. N.W.A’s groundbreaking album Straight Outta Compton (1988) brought gangsta rap to the mainstream, earning the group a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2016 and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2024.

After leaving N.W.A, Dre co-founded Death Row Records, producing landmark albums like Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle (1993) and Tupac Shakur’s All Eyez on Me (1996). In 1996, he launched Aftermath Entertainment, signing Eminem (whose The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP became massive hits) and 50 Cent. Dre’s production credits extend to artists like Kendrick Lamar, Anderson .Paak, and Mary J. Blige.

Beyond music, Dre co-founded Beats Electronics in 2006 with Iovine, revolutionizing headphones and audio tech. Apple acquired Beats in 2014 for $3 billion, making Dre hip-hop’s first billionaire. His philanthropy includes a $10 million donation to Compton High School for a performing arts center.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce praised Dre’s “undeniable” contributions. Producer Ana Martinez noted the symbolic placement next to Snoop Dogg’s star, calling it a lasting tribute to his talent and legacy.

Post-ceremony, Dre appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! with Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent (Eminem reportedly left early for album work). Los Angeles City Councilman Hugo Soto-Martinez declared March 19 “Dre Day” in the city.

The event highlighted hip-hop’s evolution and enduring bonds. Dre’s star stands as a testament to his influence—from pioneering gangsta rap to shaping global audio culture—while the presence of Eminem, 50 Cent, and Snoop Dogg symbolized the family he built in the industry.

As Dre said, he’s “nowhere near done.” Fans worldwide continue to celebrate the man who transformed beats into anthems and dreams into reality.
