A celebrated hip-hop-oriented entertainer and educator, Andre “Doctor Dre” Brown long ago established himself as a savvy creator of popular culture. He has made his mark on radio and television, in the movies and in print, working successively as a DJ, composer, talent scout, program host, actor, author, and critic. Dre is likely best-known as the co-host with Ed Lover of “Yo! MTV Raps” (1989 -1995), the tv show that did more than any other to make rap music and hip-hop culture a global phenomena.
