Joell Ortiz on Dr. Dre and The Grammys

FUSE TV - Joell Ortiz on Dr. Dre and The Grammys

Joell Ortiz used to "stand on the corner to make [his] living," an allusion to his admitted drug-dealing past, as he testifies on this video. So it's all the more heartwrenching to see the guy choke up when discussing his trip to the GRAMMYs, talking to Dr. Dre and how "hip-hop doesn't have a background check." Watch the clip above.

Check out all the latest coverage now on FUSE's GRAMMY page.
