Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg formed one of the greatest duos in the history of hip-hop, and this relationship began more than 2 decades ago.

In a new trailer for the documentary The Defiant Ones, which will be shown on HBO, and will tell his story with Jimmy Iovine, the producer recalled the first time he met his partner from “Nuthin’ But A G Thang”.

“The first time I heard Snoop was at a bachelor party, he was selling drugs, and then my stepbrother Warren G put on a tape of his. I was like, ‘Is that Snoop?

This is a fucking diamond that we need to polish,” said Dre. The Long Beach rapper also comments on his first contact with the legendary producer: “So as soon as I got a phone call, I hung up. Like, this little nigga can’t be fucking Dr Dre.

And then he called me, he was like, “I deny, glue in the studio on the second.”

Dre then added: “Snoop came to the studio, I put on a track to play for him, and he did a really crazy freestyle. And the thought of my first solo album started to become reality”, and the rest of the story we all know.
