Throwback: How Dr. Dre And Snoop Dogg Broke Down Barriers
They Shattered Radio Barriers; Jimmy Iovine talks to Steve Stout of 'The Tanning Effect' [VIDEO]
Legendary music producer Jimmy Iovine opens up on breaking down barriers with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's 1993 single "Nuthin But A 'G' Thang."

Dr. Dre and Snoop were the first Hip Hop artists to be featured on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. Read more at the Huff Post
