Dr. Dre Pays Tribute To J Dill on “The Pharmacy With Dr. Dre” Beats 1 Radio Show. Hop into the post to get the details on exactly what was said about the Detroit Producer. #IFWT!

Dr. Dre hosted the first episode of “The Pharmacy with Dr. Dre” yesterday on the 4th of July. The Two hour radio show is a part of Beats1 on Apple Music!

The Legendary Compton producer explained why he decided to do a radio show.

Dr. Dre said :

“Jimmy Iovine approached me with this idea about doing a radio station and broadcasting around the entire globe, man,” Dr. Dre says. “And I was like, ‘What?’ Then I started thinking. I’ve made music. I’m making movies now. So a radio station? Why not.”

One of the segments in the program was dedicated to J Dilla. Dr. Dre named the Late Detroit producer as one of his main inspirations when it comes to his own production.

Dre Said :

“There’s actually a lot of producers that I like to listen to,” he says, “a lot of producers out there that I respect, a lot of producers that I get inspiration from, but you know what? I’m gonna write a prescription for just one. What I want right now is just a dose of Dilla. One of the most incredible things that I liked about Dilla is, Dilla was in his hospital room on his deathbed and he had his machines in his room, in his hospital room and he was still making beats before he passed away. Now you’re talking about dedication to what you really love and your passion? It gets no deeper than that. That’s why J Dilla is one of my favorites.”

J Dilla died of Lupus back in 2006, days after releasing his solo project ‘Donuts’.
