Dr. Dre's Big Night: Receiving ASCAP's First Hip-Hop Icon Award!

In an unforgettable event, Dr. Dre was honored with the inaugural ASCAP Hip-Hop Icon Award at the 2023 Rhythm & Soul Music Awards in Los Angeles. This recognition was given in tribute to his profound impact on Hip-Hop, which has been instrumental in shaping the genre as we know it today. The ceremony took place on the rooftop of the London West Hollywood on Thursday, June 22, where one Hip-Hop icon, Snoop Dogg, paid tribute to another, presenting the award to Dr. Dre.
The star-studded event was overseen by ASCAP president Paul Williams and Nicole George-Middleton, senior vice president of membership and executive director of The ASCAP Foundation. Music was provided by DJ Kid Capri. In attendance were hip-hop veteran Big Daddy Kane, singer-songwriter Varren Wade, producer Warryn Campbell, and gospel star Erica Campbell, among others.
The evening was a continuation of a year of significant honors for Dre, who had received the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award at the Grammys earlier that year and won his first Primetime Emmy as a performer at The Pepsi Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show last September. In a surprise moment, Snoop Dogg also recognized Dre for his work at Aftermath Entertainment.
The event, produced by Dick Clark Productions, the world's largest producer and proprietor of televised live event entertainment programming, celebrated the performing rights organization's regular 2023 Rhythm & Soul Music Award winners and marked 50 years of Hip-Hop. ‪@AllHipHopTV‬
