Throughout the interview, Dr. Dre talks about falling in love with music during his early life in Compton, producing the song “Boyz-n-the-Hood” with Eazy-E, being a member of N.W.A, meeting and working with a young Snoop Dogg, and how he approaches the collaborative process, among other topics.

“I want my work to talk for me, and hopefully the way I’m carrying myself and what I’m doing can be an inspiration,” he tells LL. “That’s my main objective.”
