Record company executive and long time Dr. Dre business partner Jimmy Iovine spoke at Dr. Dre's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony on yesterday (3/19). While praising Dre he noted: "Billboard just named him the greatest music producer of all time, and I've heard some of the music that he's working on right now, he's coming for other genres."

Iovine is likely speaking of the eagerly awaited Marsha Ambrosius project, Casablanco that Dr. Dre is producing. "The way it started out was she actually flew down to work on some songs for me," he said of the project last year. "I said let's work on three or four songs for you, and that turned into an entire album over a two-week period."

Iovine also said of Dre: "He's the greatest partner, friend, and ally that you could possibly have. For all you people out there who aspire to get into entertainment, when you go to bed tonight, pray that you meet a Dr. Dre." Radio personality Big Boy, DJ Quik, Eminem, Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent were all present for the ceremony.
