Grammy Award-winning hip-hop producer Dr. Dre is lucky to be alive. He suffered a brain aneurysm in 2021 that kept him in the hospital for two weeks. Dr. Dre recently revealed that during those two weeks in the hospital, he also suffered three strokes.
“It’s something you can’t control and it just happens, and during those two weeks I had three strokes,” he said.
When the legendary producer woke up the morning of the day he was hospitalized, everything seemed normal. Everything, except a sensation behind the ear that became “the worst pain.”
“I got up and went about my day, and I thought I could just lie down and take a nap. My son had a friend who was there and she told me: ‘No, we have to take you to the hospital.’ “So they took me to the emergency room.”
Dr. Dre ‘had no control’ over health scare
While Dre has recovered from his hospitalization, the situation is still a little peculiar for him. The award-winning producer is committed to living a healthy lifestyle, including a regular gym routine. Perhaps the most terrifying thing about this entire ordeal is that there was nothing he could do to prevent it.
“I had no idea I had high blood pressure or anything like that because I’m in the state of my health. I lift weights, run, and do everything I can to stay healthy. High blood pressure in black men, that’s exactly what it is. They call him the silent killer. You just have no idea, so you know, you gotta keep yourself in check,” Dr. Dre added.
“It’s crazy… knowing I had no control over it,” he said. “It’s something that could happen out of nowhere. You wake up and say, ‘S—. It’s okay, I’m here.”
Legendary producer crowns Eminem The GOAT
Dr. Dre has worked with some of the best talents in the music industry. Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent and Eazy-E are just a few of the hip-hop legends he has collaborated with. But even with all the talented artists he’s worked with, Dr. Dre says Eminem is the best emcee to grace a microphone.
“His imagination is off the charts and I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. I think he is the best MC of all time. Stay blank and period,” he said.
“Of course, there will be arguments about it because he is a white man. “I don’t think anyone who’s rapping can touch Eminem on that microphone.”
