Dr Dre, born as André Romell Young on February 18, 1965 in Los Angeles, California, is an influential Grammy Award-winning American record producer, hip hop producer, rapper, actor and record executive. He is the founder and current CEO of Aftermath Entertainment, a former co-owner and artist of Death Row Records, which makes him a significant figure in the development of rap music. He was a founding member of the influential rap group NWA, which popularized the use of explicit lyrics in rap detailing the violence of street life (also known as Gangsta rap), and he also produced albums for and overseen the careers of some of the biggest stars in rap music, including Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent, The Game, Nate Dogg, Rakim, Busta Rhymes, and Eve. With tens of millions of records he has produced sold worldwide (including over 70 million with Eminem alone), he is widely regarded as one of the most popular figures in rap music history, and as a producer he is credited as a key figure in the creation and popularization of West Coast G-funk, a style of rap music characterized as synthesizer-based with slow, heavy beats. G-funk dominated the US rap charts in the period of 1992–1996, and is still considered one of the major living styles of hip hop today, and in 2004, Dr Dre was ranked as number 54 in Rolling Stone Magazine's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
