Dr. Dre recalls a disastrous blind date that occurred alongside SNOOP DOGG THAT PRECEEDED CLASSIC SONG

Since many years ago, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg have been friends and worked together. Their friendship has led to some big hits and some funny times.

The guys from Los Angeles were in London this week for the launch of their Gin & Juice drink line. On Friday, 19 July, they stopped by Capital Xtra to talk about how they got 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 record 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 announced it’s coming sooner than fans may think.

“[Snoop] Dogg sacrificed ’cause he got an album dropping in July. This record 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 record would be a joint release between the now Snoop-owned Death Row Records, Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records.

Snoop Dogg recently 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, cleaning 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 stuff they’ve recorded for the album “masterful” and praised Dre for using his voice “like an instrument.”

He also earlier indicated that Missionary will serve as the spiritual successor to his 1993 debut Doggystyle.
