DJcity caught up with one of 2012’s hottest producers, Scoop Deville, at Talented Studios in Los
Angeles, CA, to talk about his latest hit records on Kendrick Lamar‘s good kid, m.A.A.d. city; “Poetic Justice” featuring Drake and the Westcoast favorite, “The Recipe,” featuring the legendary Dr. Dre.
Kendrick Lamar held two sold out shows back-to-back in Los Angeles last night and brought along two special surprise guests. The Club Nokia crowd lost their voices when T.I. and Dr. Dre hit the stage, respectively. Both veteran artists had nice things to say about the man of the hour, Kendrick, but Dre, being the true boss he is, let the crowd know he was behind his artist 300%.
“I got to let y’all know something, I’m so proud of this man right here. He’s been handling his business even before y’all knew he was signed and shit. He was like let’s keep that shit on the low, I don’t want nobody to know and he kept doing his fucking thing. He’s a true muthafuckin’ lyricist, a real muthafuckin’ MC and that’s what we need in muthafuckin’ hip-hop.”
Well said Dr. Dre. Watch the Doc join Kendrick for “Compton” and “The Recipe” in the video above and below, you can see the Kang join Kendrick for his own singles, “Go Get It” and “What You Know.”

Dr.Dre launches the first commercial to promote artist Kendrick Lamar’s approching release of good kid, m.A.A.d city. The commercial highlights some of Dr. Dre’s most successful artist releases since “Slim Shady” in 1999, to 50 Cent in 2003, and Game in 2005. Kendrick is the years newest hype, and Dr. Dre will make sure it stays that way.

In the following clip straight out of Ice T’s Something From Nothing: The Art Of Rap, Dr. Dre (on the set of the Kendrick-video-we-will-never-see “The Recipe”) recalls his work experience with West Coast legend 2pac. “He would just sit in the booth and say just put the next thing up… He’s like a machine,” describes the Doc. Catch the full documentary on the small screen this Thursday, September 13, at 9PM on VH1.
