Diddy is celebrating the fulfillment of a lifelong dream — finally hitting the studio with Dr. Dre. On Tuesday night (August 30), the veteran Bad Boy shared an Instagram post consisting of five photos of the dynamic duo in the lab, looking hard at work.
He wrote in the caption, “Yesterday, one of my biggest dreams finally came true. I remember the first time I heard @DrDre’s production. It gave me clear direction on the level of Producer that I wanted to be. Last night, I got the chance to work with this man and to see his genius as he coached me through vocals.
“He reminded me of myself, but with a different style and way more focused. I gotta step my focus up! lol But it was a great experience and I thank God for it. I hope one day ya’ll get to have the same experience with someone that you always looked up to as a hero.”
In an email sent to HipHopDX, Diddy’s team explained, “The two music moguls came together to collaborate for Dr. Dre’s highly anticipated upcoming album with Snoop Dogg, who was also in attendance. Producing with Dr. Dre has been a long-time dream for Mr. [Sean] Combs and the night was made even more special as he coached him through vocals.”
Of course, fans have been waiting on a solo album for Dr. Dre for years. In March, the anticipation for the project was at a fever pitch after Snoop shared a photo of himself and Dre in the studio with the caption, “The Chronic is bac home.” An eagle-eyed Twitter user pointed out in the background a tracklist for Detox, Dre’s long-awaited follow-up to his 1999 album, 2001.
Conway The Machine’s Dreams Of Dr. Dre Studio Session Come True With Kanye West
In the months since, the project has yet to come to fruition but frequent studio sessions with notable artists seem to signal something is on the horizon. On Tuesday (August 30), Conway The Machine posted an Instagram photo showing Dr. Dre at the mixing board and Kanye looking at his phone, while the Griselda rapper puffed on a blunt.
Speaking to DX in March, Conway was confident a collaboration with the Doctor would eventually materialize, especially with co-signs from everyone such as JAY-Z and Eminem to Nas and Lil Wayne.
“I hope we get to work together,” he said at the time. “I would love to. I’m sure we will, you know what I mean? I’m sure we will.” Like Diddy, his Dr. Dre dreams have finally come true, too.
Incoming homophobic comments as if sexual orientation defines talent
We get it, you’re gay and like men.
Only in America!
I wish diddy would slobber on my balls while dre hits me from behind
It’s a black men thing bruv, they get horny as hell seeing just seeing brodas making peace or braking bread.
Nope
But sexual orientation does define a man’s likelihood to be a perverted child predator. It’s something like 78%+ are homosexual.
Yo, Dre looks mad uncomfortable bruh
No he don’t. You just haven’t been outside for 3 years. lol.
He doesn’t look all too well. Brain accidents operated on by surgeons are not a joke!!!
Hoes in attendance. Where is t.i. New album. Do we have to wait for a blue moon.
We won’t get the song until Khaled next album
Never coming out records !!!!!
“Hey Dre, Let’s Fucking Get It”…..*On* under his breath.(Pac did say that he likes men so I’m going to test that rumor)
Wonder how much money Sean paid to work with Dre cause Dre would never collaborate with this clown
Dre doesn’t need his money, I’m sure he wouldn’t sell out if he felt a type way about Diddy. People grow, forgive, and move on.
Dre is coming Jack…
DETOX RELASPE 2
These are two executive producers who only mix down the the tracks. The only thing that separates them from Khaled is that they rap, even though they ney never write. I was more pumped to hear FNMekka last week.
Why do you break down all that, when all that matters, is the quality of the music? As long as the quality reaches my standards, or surpasses them, I can dig it!
Some word with tha truth!!!
Next up, King Tekashi and Dr Dre.
FOH

“Yeah we got Tupac lol”
Oh, the good boy records murderers got x-out. Don’t be talking massive crap about sickle cell, fcking people wife, and everyone and you think you’re the hardest gangsta that ever lived.
Diddy is delusional if he believes he’s in the same realm of Dre. Step your focus up? You been in the game for how long? And you still don’t have your vocal delivery together? what? Running around making bands, being super over critical of up and comi nv artists when you yourself don’t have what it takes after 30 years in. Dre can actually write and play music, piece songs together from the baseline to the rapper. He’s a genius. Notice the Super Bowl halftime show, you could not do that with Bad Boy. They don’t have the clsssics or stage presence to hold down a show the way Dre Em and them did
He called the wife beater Dr Dre his hero, what more do you want? He was giddy taking a picture to show off!!! It’s hard to fix stupidity in this community!!!
Diddy probably cannot create one beat on his own from start to finish. Not sample…but create a beat! Diddy is the business. Other people make music for him.
Scott Storch, Chris Taylor, Mike Elizondo….Puff wasn’t the only one, stop it.
And then they kissed, and lived happily ever after.
Dre always going to be on top. The man is good at his craft. Him and Eminem are like steak and grill
Dre hasn’t been on top for loteral decades. His last album did averagrly decent, not even as good as Kendricks new album. Compton qas average at best though
Look at every artist he does work for and the people still coming to him industry wide. He’s on top even if his last album was forever ago. His craft of production is top tier
Okay, fair, then what is an amazing dr dre produced beat that came out in the past 5 years that you would say stands up to his productions from 2013 and earlier. I can’t name any myself. The best beat I’ve heard from him in the past decade was Talking To My Diary. That’s amazing work right there. Aside from that, all those recent Em productions… sound horrible.
I have to disagree on the MTBMB album, because it’s not just the beats, it’s the whole production of the album itself, the mix and mastering that just sounds better than what I usually hear. Anderson .Paak album Oxnard was super smooth. But this is where it’s gets subjective on taste. You might not like a beat which is fine, but putting the song together in a way any rookie ear can hear and admire is a skill. He fills beats with full sound, no empty spaces. If that makes sense. Plus saying he didn’t make anything good since years ago is sort of ripping his legend status. It’s like Mike Tyson,still the baddest mfer alive even if he’s not fighting any more. He’s already proven his skill. Dre also executive produces a ton of albums for a lot of people. The industry sees something we dont see. Anyone can build a house but there’s always one guy who can do it the best.
Definitely subjective as you said, but I think most ppl think Anderson Pakk is annoying. And mtmb is another reason we miss the days of eminem from 1998 to 2005.
More artists go to Dj Khaled than Dr Dre… = Dj Khaled is on top of his production game? Don’t think so. Dre is a hiphop icon. Doesn’t mean he’s really bringing out anything special.
Decades?? He’s on at the top right now. He just pulled off the most legendary hiphop performance in history at the Super Bowl and Kendrick’s album is the first to pass 1 billion streams in 2022. Or did you forget he’s Aftermath
Omw to work earlier today, What’s the difference came on and right now, I feel like that’s the best beat Dre’s ever made (or had a hand in making). My opinion, didn’t ask for nobody else’s…
You never want Puffy to say you were one of his biggest dreams. Lol
ther funny thing is dre can out sell any of these clones on his worst day dang forgot beats alone can kill any of these weak rappers…it got to be young kids who wonna hate on dre…… dre will murder all these so called {TrasH }rappers
