“I do know [Dr. Dre] is in the studio… I do know he’s making great f***ing music. And some of his music is connected to the GTA game that’s coming out. So I think that that will be the way that his music will be released, through the GTA video game.”
Dr. Dre, of course, was a long-time mentor to Snoop Dogg, making him a superstar with by collaborating with him on the chronic. And Snoop is also a keen gamer who regularly streams his games of Madden Football on Twitch.
