00:00 [BELL RINGING]

00:02 Our first speaker is record producer--

00:05 our first speaker is record label founder and entrepreneur.

00:10 Please welcome the best of the best to the stage, ladies

00:13 and gentlemen, Jimmy Iovine.

00:14 [APPLAUSE]

00:17 Thank you, Jimmy.

00:26 Thank you.

00:28 All right, hello.

00:31 I got to tell you something.

00:33 Seeing these four guys together makes me a little misty.

00:39 Also, reminds me of my past when I got abject fear.

00:44 But it was an amazing time of my life.

00:46 And to see them all together is just an incredible moment.

00:50 So they only gave me two minutes.

00:52 I could do two minutes on the first minute I met Dr. Dre.

00:58 But what you hear all the time in different parts

01:00 of the entertainment business, like basketball,

01:04 is it LeBron or is it Michael?

01:07 [INAUDIBLE]

01:08 Aha!

01:10 OK, OK.

01:12 I knew that would work.

01:13 [INAUDIBLE]

01:17 Or Kobe, or Kobe.

01:19 Sorry.

01:21 Soccer, Pele or Messi?

01:24 Who's the greatest pound-per-pound boxer ever?

01:28 Rocky Marciano or Muhammad Ali?

01:30 Ali.

01:31 No, no, I know it's Ali.

01:33 But Rocky Marciano was Italian, so I put him in there.

01:37 OK?

01:38 But with Dr. Dre in his lane as a producer of hip hop,

01:47 you never hear Dr. Dre or.

01:51 It's only Dr. Dre.

01:54 Even the other producers say it's Dr. Dre.

01:57 In the 50 years of hip hop, Dr. Dre

02:03 is the greatest producer ever.

02:05 In fact, Billboard just named him the greatest hip hop

02:13 producer of all time.

02:14 What took them so long?

02:23 And I heard some of the other music he's making right now.

02:26 He's coming for other genres.

02:30 What I can say about Dre is he's the greatest partner, friend,

02:35 ally you could possibly have.

02:39 For all you people out there that

02:41 are aspiring to get into entertainment,

02:44 when you go to bed tonight, pray you meet a Dr. Dre.

02:50 Congratulations, Dre, on the Hall of Fame.

02:54 Man, you deserve an entire neighborhood.

02:58 I love you, Dre.

03:01 Thank you, Phil.

03:01 That was great.

03:05 [APPLAUSE]
