Dr. Dre Inducts Eminem Into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
OK, let me get serious.
A few days later, Jimmy called me up, and he said [raises voice pitch], “Hey, Dre. You know, he’s a white guy, right?” Completely fucking me up. The last thing I was thinking about when I was listening to the music was that he was a white guy. It never even crossed my mind. But looking back, I don’t know why it didn’t cross my mind. He certainly didn’t sound like a Black rapper, especially because of what he was saying.
While everyone else around me had their doubts, I knew that his gifts were undeniable. His raw, dark, humorous lyrics, coupled with an impeccable cadence, stood out from everything I had ever heard before. And he was humble. Both of us were. We were two artists in do-or-die situations. He was desperate to find a way to feed his family, and I was searching for something that I could sink my teeth into creatively. Each of us were exactly what the other one needed.
