Ice Cube and Mike Epps have returned with a new conversation series, and Dr. Dre helped them open it.
Listen & Laugh premiered November 6 with Dre as the first announced guest. The debut runs approximately one hour and 18 minutes, according to its Apple Podcasts listing.
That Grape Juice reported that Dre spoke enthusiastically about using artificial intelligence in music and entertainment during the conversation. He suggested that an actor could approve the use of his image and voice and be paid without being physically present for every use.
That is a significant entertainment-business idea from one of hip-hop’s most influential producers. Dre presented AI as another tool creators can use rather than something that should automatically be rejected.
The series gives Cube and Epps a recurring interview-and-comedy platform. Its launch announcement says video episodes are available on YouTube, with audio across podcast platforms. New episodes are scheduled for Fridays at 6 p.m. Eastern. Regina King, Katt Williams and The Game are among the announced future guests.
The premiere establishes Dre’s position in the technology discussion while giving Listen & Laugh a headline-making first conversation.
