Dr. Dre has discussed Eminem, Easy E's death and the NWA biopic in a recent radio interview.

Speaking with LA radio DJ Big Boy, Dr. Dre discussed everything from producing Eminem, to Easy E's death to his beginnings in the NWA, as well as his involvement in the upcoming NWA biopic.

Dr. Dre also spoke about recording Snoop Dogg in a jail cell, saying: "So he called in and I taped the receiver of the phone to the mic. You can hear jail sounds in the back and everything. He's going, '1, 2,' that whole thing. That was the original version. I just happened to be at my mom's house, going through records, and I found this Leon Haywood, 'I Want'a Do Something Freaky to You' [sample] and thought that would make a better foundation track."

"So I took that back, recorded the track, Snoop got out and we just recorded this song at my house. It was a bedroom that I converted into a studio in my house. That's where the first half of The Chronic came from."
