The Doctor Is in the House

摘要

How do you know when you're truly the man? How about when the mayor of Los Angeles buys your mansion? That's what happened to Grammy-winning rapper-producer Dr. Dre this April, when Mayor Richard Riordan paid almost $3 million for Dre's five-bedroom Victorian. That's not the only precious real estate that Dre controls. His 1999 album, "Chronic 2001," still hovers near the top of the Billboard charts after more than 30 weeks, where it was eclipsed by Dre's own protege, Eminem. Add to that his superhot "Up in Smoke" tour (this week's stops: Boise, Indianapolis and Columbus), and you begin to think that his popular theme song, "Dre Day," is something of an understatement. It's looking more and more like Dre's Year.
