Dr. Dre emerged from the studio to honor fellow mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs with the prestigious ASCAP Founders Award at ASCAP’s 24th Annual Rhythm & Soul Music Awards in Beverly Hills on Friday (June 24). A buff Dre, who received the same award last year, spoke about Diddy’s influence following videotaped messages from Pharrell, Swizz Beatz, Janelle Monáe, Dirty Money’s Dawn and Kalenna, and more.
“I had a chance to experience his hustle myself and believe me it’s no joke. I’ve been inspired, I’ve been motivated by this man’s hustle,” said the West Coast icon, who collaborated with Diddy on a line of Beats headphones.
Puff returned the love. “I’m extra, extra happy right now. I truly, truly appreciate this,” he told his peers. “I don’t know if ya’ll know my favorite producer in the world ’cause we in a room of producers and writers. … Dr. Dre my whole life has just been my favorite producer.”

I am a 13 year old rapper trying to make it and the only way i can do that is by being more known on youtube. Even though I am only 13 i feel like i have the maturity in songs and lyrics.
I like when he said “I always get asked the question….and I say that becuz i always try to exude a certain amount of extraordinary confidence, because in order for my dreams to come true I had to put a 100 percent faith…. and I the one thing diff. about today is I only wish….” VERY PROFOUND words spoken, knowledge and wisdom, yeah, i’m trying to get that whole affirmation thing down. But Diddy truly used it.
Sorry, but I really don’t appreciate Diddy. I feel like he’s only in the industry because of his money. This man is not a good rapper, and he’s fake. Dre his favorite producer ever? Lmao, I wish he’d said that Pac was his favorite rapper and I would be dying on the floor.

I don’t like Diddy but since Dre was there to give it to him then respect to that.
