Many celebrities who have worked with Dr. Dre have confirmed that he is a musical genius with an exceptionally high IQ.
The 58-year-old producer helped popularize the gangster rap genre while revolutionizing the industry in the late 80s and early 90s.
He is also the one who popularized and crafted G-funk, a unique genre characterized by slow heavy production and a synthesizer foundation.
Dr. Dre has worked with some of the top musicians in the industry including Snoop Dogg who has an IQ of 147.
So, if he managed to produce the best out of the lyrical geniuses like Snoop Dogg, Eminem and 50 Cent, how high is his IQ?
Dr. Dre’s IQ
A study conducted by Felicity Callard, a psychologist from London University, proved that musical training tends to increase a person’s IQ score.
Besides, Dr. Dre is smarter than most average musicians; after all, he has gotten the best out of genius musicians like Snoop Dogg.
So, like most musical geniuses, Dr. Dre is believed to have an IQ of between 150 and 155 which is clearly on a genius level.
50 Cent described him as a perfectionist who will make you do something over and over.
He is living proof that hard work pays and being a perfectionist, he never releases a song if it doesn’t sound perfect.
Andre has managed to remain popular and relevant for over 3 decades by producing hits that topped the charts between 1990 and 2006.
Dre started in the late 80s when the industry was dominated by stars like Run DMC and MC Hammer.
But unlike those stars, he is still popular, thanks to his talent as a producer and a musician.
He even made Eminem a star in a black controlled music genre, while introducing us to Tupac in the early 90s.
His work has stood the test-of time and like most polymaths, he has branched out to other industries.
He proved further that he’s a genius when he created Beats and then sold it to Apple for about $3 billion making him a billionaire.
