Born on February 18, 1965 Dr. Dre, Andre Romelle Young, is a real example of starting from the bottom. Growing up in a family where both of his parents were musicians he grew a large interest in the music industry.
Dr. Dre began as a DJ, working only in nightclubs and parties, but this all changed when he, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, Yella, MC Ren, the Arabian Prince and the D.O.C. created N.W.A, a hip-hop group. This group is what changed his life forever, he was able to release hard hitting albums including Straight Outta Compton which was released in 1988 and sold more than two million copies. But with this extreme amount of fame and a controversial song named “F*** tha Police” came a collection of problems.
The song initiated a large wave of violence
