‘I want to thank me for listening to Dre over the years, and letting him be my teacher, mentor, brother, guardian, protector, and most importantly, a good friend,’ he said.

He proceeded to perform a special rap, which began with him calling his ‘brother from another mother.’

‘Rock in the sand on the beach he’d soon discover, now we deep cover blood brothers on a mission,’ he rapped. ‘House with no furniture, studio in the back with a little bit of food in the kitchen. Long Beach to Compton to Calabasas compositions.’

Snoop continued: ‘Pay attention. Quincy had Michael, they rewrote the cycle. So if Dre is Q and Mike is Snoop, we bang G thang motherf**king super group Death Row.’

The 16-time Grammy nominee continued: ‘Forever in out hearts now engraved on the Hollywood blocks/ With the Sinatras and Oscars/ Movie stars and mobsters.’

Other verses included Snoop calling out Dr. Dre for making him record every line ‘100 times’ and on they’re still ‘on the grind’ in the studio together after three decades of friendship.
