Dr. Dre, Eminem & Skylar Grey: "I Need a Doctor" Music Video - Watch Now!
The music video for Dr. Dre's new single, "I Need a Doctor," which he performed at the Grammys with Eminem and Rihanna, has officially been released.
Featuring Eminem and Skylar Grey, whose vocals are stunning, the work is more than seven minutes long, with Dre himself largely absent until the end.
Partly a tribute to Dre himself by protege Eminem, "I Need a Doctor" is also a memoriam of sorts to Dre's son, Andre Dr., who tragically died in 2008.
It ends with Dre standing over Eazy E's grave, as well. Watch it here:
Eminem, Rihanna & Dr. Dre Grammy Awards Performance: Watch Now!
In perhaps the most anticipated event of the 2011 Grammy Awards, Eminem took the stage with Rihanna, Skylar Grey and Dr. Dre for a seven-minute performance.
Eminem and Rihanna opened with Part II of their collaborative hit, “Love The Way You Lie,” and as her vocals soared, Eminem appeared amid a fiery background.
Rihanna sounded so good, you'd never know she battled laryngitis and bronchitis leading up to the show, while Eminem's animated effort was brilliant as usual ...
After "Love the Way You Lie," he performed another slow-building track with female backing. Skylar Grey joined in on "I Need a Doctor," as did his one-time mentor.
Dr. Dre himself came on stage for the last verse, putting the finishing touch on this star-studded effort. Take a look above if you missed it and comment below.
Andre Young, Jr., Son of Dr. Dre, Dies at 20
Andre Young, Jr., the son of hip-hop producer Dr. Dre (real name Andre Young, Sr.) died over the weekend, the music mogul's rep confirms.
The younger Dre was only 20.
His body was discovered by his mother at his home in Woodland Hills, Calif., on Saturday morning, according to the L.A. County Coroner's office.
"Dr. Dre is mourning the tragic loss of his son," rep Lori Earl said in a statement. "Please respect his family's grief and privacy at this time."
Young's mother told Los Angeles police that she attempted to rouse her son at 10:24 a.m. on Saturday, and when she couldn't, she immediately called paramedics. They pronounced Andre Young, Jr., dead at the scene.
Andre Young, Jr., "had been out with friends" the previous night before returning home around 5:30 a.m., according to the L.A. County coroner's office.
An autopsy was performed Monday. No foul play is expected.
Dr. Dre, is one of rap's most prolific figures. After achieving fame with N.W.A., Dre released The Chronic in 1992 and went on to sign and collaborate with some of hip hop's top acts, such as Snoop Dogg, Eminem and numerous others.
An outpouring of support flooded Dr. Dre's MySpace page in the wake of his son's passing. We hope Andre, Jr., rests in peace. Dr. Dre has four other children: sons Curtis, 26, Marcel, 17, and Truth, 11, and daughter Truly, 7.
