Dr. Dre says he’s doing ‘great’ after suffering possible brain aneurysm
LA TimesDr. Dre was undergoing medical treatment Tuesday after being admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center with a possible brain aneurysm, two sources familiar with his condition said. After TMZ.com revealed that Dre was hospitalized, N.W.A cofounder Ice Cube tweeted, “Send your love and prayers.” Dre, according to a source, had been in the intensive care unit at one point. On his 1992 solo album, “The Chronic” and on 1993’s “Doggystyle,” his album with the young Long Beach rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg, he helped perfect the raw and provocative sound of Los Angeles rap, but with a super-producer’s ear for a hit. That legacy was explored in the hit 2015 N.W.A biopic, “Straight Outta Compton.” In the meantime, he’d built a fledgling headphone business, Beats Electronics, into a dominant consumer tech brand for rap fans. On Tuesday night, rap peer LL Cool J tweeted that the music producer was “recovering nicely.” On Instagram, Snoop Dogg added his well wishes: “GET WELL DR DRE WE NEED U CUZ.”
