Dr. Dre held a roller-skating-themed event to commemorate the release of his breakthrough solo album The Chronic, which was released 30 years ago, during Grammy Week.
The owners of Flipper’s Roller Boogie Palace, which today runs hip roller rinks in New York City and London, teamed up with Interscope Records to imitate the atmosphere of the business’s original legendary Los Angeles location, once known as “Studio 54 On Wheels.”
The event was hosted by Usher, a brand ambassador for Flipper’s, and guests included Dr. Dre’s longtime collaborator Jimmy Iovine, actor Adrian Brody, Cedric the Entertainer, Floyd Mayweather, Sir Paul McCartney, Top Dawg Entertainment founder Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith, Teyana Taylor, and Floyd Mayweather.
Busta Rhymes, Chris Brown, Danileigh, DJ Drama, Fivio Foreign, Mona Scott-Young, Machine Gun Kelly, Jermaine Dupri, Swizz Beatz, and Yo Gotti were also present at the event on February 4 at the Hollywood Palladium.
The Chronic was initially released on December 15, 1992, while Dr. Dre chose to celebrate his multi-platinum debut during Grammy Week.
