Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg have been friends and collaborators for many years, and on top of spawning some major hits, their friendship has also spawned some hilarious moments.
The Los Angeles natives were out in London this week for the launch of their Gin & Juice cocktail line, and stopped by Capital Xtra on Friday (July 19) to look back on the journey that got them here.
At one point, Dre shared a story of a failed blind date they went on together – but at least something great came out of it.
“When we got there, this girl opened the door and she was beautiful. I thought it was mine and it wasn’t. Snoop pushed me out the way like, ‘Nah cuz, that’s me.’ When I turned that corner and saw mine, I was really disappointed,” Dre said.
“And we drove for like an hour in Hurricane Katrina to get there and I was extremely disappointed. The good part about that is when we left that situation, the next day we went to the studio and made ‘Nuthin’ But A ‘G’ Thang.’”
The pair have been working on the highly-anticipated Missionary, which will see Dr. Dre produce an entire Snoop Dogg album for the first time in over 30 years.
Fresh off the release of their own new project W.A.W.G. (We All We Got), Daz Dillinger and Kurupt appeared on Drink Champs last where they spoke about the project – and revealed it’s coming sooner than fans may think.
“[Snoop] Dogg sacrificed ’cause he got an album dropping in July. This album with Dr. Dre dropping in July,” he said.
Daz then added: “He got an album coming out next month with Dr. Dre.”
The pair then claimed that the album would be a joint release between the now Snoop-owned Death Row Records, Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records.
Snoop Dogg previously gave an update about the progress of Missionary earlier this year.
“I’m in the lab with Dr. Dre right now. That’s Death Row/Aftermath. We finishing that up right now, tidying up the pieces to that. He’s a perfectionist,” he said on former NBA players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson’ All the Smoke podcast.
Snoop went on to call the material they’ve recorded for the album “masterful” and praised Dre for using his voice “like an instrument.”
He also previously indicated that Missionary will serve as the spiritual successor to his 1993 debut Doggystyle.
Hurricane Katrina was in 2005, Nothing but a G Thing came out in like 1992-
Yeah unless he’s speaking hyperbole about that the storm the story is all CAP
Right. Wtf lol. And sure. Driving through a hurricane for a blind date. Makes sense right?
Time stamps don’t match up, old blood.
In addition to the mismatch in the timestamps of events, I’m pretty sure they were both married smh
So? Black marriage doesn’t mean anything. It’s just a ceremony to em. They dint actually mean it. They cross their fingers behind their backs when reciting their vows.
Over rated af old ass ,washed up womanizer, gay ass Dre telling fairytales as usual. Katrina in 2005 G thang only came out 13 years prior Smh.
So dumb. You little kids suck.
But the little kids know how to spell a 4 letter 1 syllable word that is not supposed to have an apostrophe.
Most of you idiots were not alive when g thang came out. And maybe we’re not alive for Katrina. Morons.

“we’re” not alive for Katrina.” You really do have an appropriate name.

Dre washed up and Snoop a sell-out and rat.
He doesn’t literally mean he drove through Hurricane Katrina guys. He is saying that the weather was very, very bad.
