Kendrick Lamar Hung Up on Dr. Dre When the Rap Mogul First Called Him (2017)

After Dr. Dre saw a video of Kendrick Lamar performing, the rap mogul tried to call the then unsigned artist. Kendrick didn’t believe it was him, though, and hung up.

Want to know what's going on with Howard Stern in the future?

This man's whole discography of music is some of the BEST Hip Hop of the 10s Era for some of all time. Can't wait for what he does next, 💯

This is why Howard is the best interviewer alive right now. He takes you through the evolution of the artists career and how it came about, moment by moment.

Similar to how literally everybody always hung up on Michael Jackson thinking it was a joke 😂

The music video he’s referring to is “ignorance is bliss” off overly dedicated 🙏

Dammit I thought this was new, so i thought that a new kendrick album was coming.

They make it seem like Dr. Dre is a hip hop monk living in the mountains somewhere only making beats...

[brianbozo]

One of Howards strengths is his curiosity to know what people are thinking and feeling. His questions are always spot on.

[moodyblues]

Howard is an incredible interviewer... never ceases to amaze me.

Good to see The greatest voice in radio interview one of the greatest rappers of this generation.
