AceShowbiz - Snoop Dogg was honoured with the 2,651st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday, November 19.
The "What's My Name?" hitmaker, real name Calvin Broadus, Jr, was saluted by Dr. Dre, Pharrell Williams and producer Quincy Jones, who introduced the man of the hour, calling him a "visionary".
"I am so enormously proud of all you have achieved professionally, man... and for being one of the first entrepreneurs to be a positive role model and influence in the community," the producer and hitmaker said.
"It's no surprise to me because I've always known there's no undertaking or challenge you could not overcome. You are not just an artist and entertainer, you are a visionary and you deserve this star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and every other recognition that comes your way."
Snoop also had kind words for Quincy, calling the producer his "mentor."
"He's been like a big brother to us, helping us understand we needed to be more positive and instrumental with our voices," the rapper told fans gathered for the ceremony on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles.
"Now I'm looking back on it I can say I am thankful for Quincy being who he was for trying to tell us to get our lives right, be more positive and more productive because now that I'm a positive and productive man I can walk around more peaceful, more happy."
He also thanked himself, adding, "I want to thank me for believing in me, I want to thank me for doing all this hard work, I want to thank me for having no days off, I want to thank me for never quitting, I want to thank me for always being a giver and trying to give more than I receive. I want to thank me for trying to do more right than wrong, I want to thank me for just being me at all times."
