Dr Dre reveals backstory of Snoop Dogg Olympics collab

The rapper described his on-stage chemistry with Snoop as "magical", revealing he only feels comfortable performing when the pair of them are sharing a stage. "It's magical. I don't even feel comfortable performing without Snoop," Dre, 59, told ET Online. "Something about the synergy that me and Snoop have is really interesting." The longtime friends and collaborators appeared, via a pre-recorded performance, in the closing ceremony of the Olympics to perform their hit The Next Episode together - and Dre described himself as the second-tier performer.
