Producers sometimes do not always get the credit the rightfully deserve. Even when some have earned a reputation amongst their counterparts, the fans usually give all the shine to the performers you can see attached to the track. However, even if fans know Timbaland and Dr. Dre, audibly hearing that they are great talents always feels good. Well, that is exactly what happened not too long ago. According to HipHopDX, Dr. Dre made sure to tell Timbaland that he was one of his biggest inspirations and continues to be to this day.
This all went down at a High School Education Benefit Auction at the Iovine and Young Center. Dre started off by saying, "This guy is so fantastic, man. One of my inspirations. He doesn’t know it but he’s been one of my main inspirations throughout my career."

That gushing continued, as the crowd cheered and clapped for this brotherly connection. "I really appreciate you coming out and handling this business for us. Thank you, Timbaland.
