André Romell Young (born February 18 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_18), 1965 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1965) in Compton, California (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compton%2C_California)), better known by his stage name (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stage_name) Dr. Dre (phD), is an American (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States) record producer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Record_producer), rapper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapper), actor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor) and record executive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Record_executive). He is the founder and current CEO (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CEO) of Aftermath Entertainment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aftermath_Entertainment) and a former co-owner and artist of Death Row Records (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Row_Records).
He was a founding member of the influential rap group N.W.A. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N.W.A.), which popularized the use of explicit lyrics in rap detailing the violence of street life (also known as Gangsta rap (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangsta_rap)). He has also produced albums for and overseen the careers of some of the biggest stars in (mostly) rap music, including 2Pac (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2Pac), Snoop Dogg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snoop_Dogg), Eminem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eminem), 50 Cent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_Cent), G-Unit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-Unit), The Game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_%28rapper%29), Nate Dogg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nate_Dogg), Busta Rhymes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busta_Rhymes), and Eve (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eve_%28rapper%29). With tens of millions of records he has produced sold worldwide (including over 65 million with Eminem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eminem) alone), he is widely regarded as one of the most popular and powerful figures in rap music of all time.
Musically, as a producer he is credited as a key figure in the creation and popularization of West Coast (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Coast_hip_hop) G-funk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-funk), a style of rap music characterized as synthesizer-based with slow, heavy beats. G-funk dominated the U.S. rap charts in the period of 1992–1996, and is still considered one of the major living styles of hip hop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop_music) today.
His stage name "Dr. Dre" was derived from his nickname and that of his favorite basketball (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball) athlete, Julius "Dr. J" Erving (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Erving).
