Snoop Dogg says Dr. Dre has “always been a big brother” to him

Snoop Dogg has opened up about his relationship with Dr. Dre, sharing that the latter has “always been a big brother” to him.

Both of the iconic hip-hop figures appeared as guests on Capital XTRA Breakfast with hosts Robert Bruce and Shayna Marie. During their chat, Bruce asked Snoop about what his friendship with Dre had taught him in life or in general.

‘The Next Episode’ rapper shared that his friendship with the rapper and producer “taught me how to be professional. Because Dr. Dre has like always been a big brother, a mentor. But he taught me professionalism as far as how to separate from the hood and how to, you know, get on a business venture, and just look forward and not really pay attention to wants behind you.

“He’s always had the attitude and spirit of ‘I don’t care about what I’ve made, it’s all about what I’m about to make.’ And that’s a good spirit that I’ve taken from him that I don’t even know how many albums I’ve made since I started, but it’s always about what’s next, what’s best. And just being with him, he’s like a big brother, protector. I just love being with him in the studio and in real life.”
