During a recent interview on Capital XTRA Breakfast, Snoop Dogg spoke candidly about his relationship with Dr. Dre, describing the mogul as a “big brother.” Snoop stated that Dre had taught him many things throughout the years, including professionalism and how to understand the separation of business. “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,” Snoop said, adding that Dre helped him stay focused on his next project, rather than past successes. The artist also discussed his love for working with Dre, highlighting the creative freedom he has in the studio when working alongside him.

He explained that he appreciated Snoop’s trust in him in the studio and understood that it took quite a bit of confidence for someone of the icon’s status to feel comfortable handing over creative control to someone else.
