I can't even remember ever hearing about that,so somehow I missed that one. When I browsed trough some tapes last week,this is some of the shit I remember,interviews with Tim Dog,Ultra,Cash Money,CPO,Geto Boys & a bunch of NWA related shit,,,


For the very last show they had a big freestyle cypher with every big name NYC MC on it.  pure fire.

A coworker of mine who happens to be the biggest Prince fan told me this story about Dr. Dre.

Apparently when Dre was in the World Class Wrecking Crew he was a really big Prince fan (which makes sense if you look at their album covers lol).  The keyboard player for Prince was Dr. Fink.  He wore white gloves on stage.   Supposedly Dre got his whole steez from this Dr. Fink cat including his name.

^^ that aint it at all.

I saw this documentary about west coast rap on MTV once where Dre said that he got his name from a basketball player (dont ask me which team he was from). The name of the person in question was "Dr. Jay", and since Dre though he was cool and all he named himself Dr. Dre (his real name being Andre).

So thats what it is! From the horses-uh I mean from the west coast super producers mouth himself!!!  ;D

the west coast Dre produced records as Dr. Dre in 1984 for the Wrecking Cru so i think he came before the MTV cat.
