Dr. Dre Talks Eminem, His Upbringing, and More on James Corden’s SiriusXM Show

Dr. Dre discusses his upbringing, the important people in his life, his mixing board, discovering Eminem, and more during a new episode of “This Life of Mine with James Corden” – exclusively on SiriusXM’s Stars (Ch. 109) via the SiriusXM app and car radios.

Dr. Dre calls Eminem the “best emcee ever”

“Long story short, I met Eminem at Jimmy Iovine’s office, we slapped hands, went to the studio and started recording,” Dr. Dre says of meeting Eminem. “And I’m not sure if anybody knows this: I think the first four [Eminem] albums, was just me and [Eminem]. His writing and his delivery and his imagination is off the charts – and I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. I think he’s the best emcee ever.”
