Dr. Dre Announces New Eminem Album

The rap icon drew massive crowd and major players in the music industry to Tuesday's induction ceremony and then shared the news of his protégé's 12th record while appearing on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'

Dre, whose birth name is Andre Romelle Young, drew major players in the rap game and brought out a crowd so large that Hollywood Boulevard had to be briefly shut down, as he received his honor on the iconic Walk of Fame on Tuesday. Dre brought the rapper to national attention by signing him to a major label deal and producing his 1998 breakout hit, “My Name Is” and two other tracks on the Detroit-native’s debut record. Four years later, Dre played the same mentor role to another protégé, rapper 50 Cent, who also joined him on Kimmel on Tuesday with Snoop Dogg, the rap mogul’s longtime friend and collaborator.
