After rolling out the dates for their upcoming "Up In Smoke" tour last week, the hip-hop royal court of Dr. Dre, Eminem, Ice Cube, and Snoop Dogg set about pressing the flesh with the media over the weekend to get the word out about the 25-date trek.

The tour marks Dre's first-ever national tour as a solo artist, but with N.W.A. alum MC Ren joining his old school counterparts Dre and Cube on the bill and Snoop ready to fill in for the late Eazy-E, the tour is also shaping up to be an N.W.A. reunion trek.

[article id="1443028"]"It's all done in the spirit of N.W.A.,"[/article] Cube told MTV News' Kurt Loder over the weekend. [article id="1443028"]"Everybody's going to do an individual set, of course, but at the end we're all going to come out together as N.W.A. and drop a bomb."[/article]

[article id="1443028"]"It's a dream come true,"[/article] Snoop said of his slot in the Y2K take on N.W.A. [article id="1443028"]"Every rapper's dream is to be on stage with superstars like Cube, Dre, Eminem, and the whole crew, so I'm just gonna go up there, do my part, and support the movement and just make positive and peaceful so we can do this again."[/article]

Not surprisingly, Dre is stoked about the notion of bringing N.W.A. back around again and bringing more fans as well. [article id="1443028"]"It's gonna be off the hook, man,"[/article] Dre told MTV News. [article id="1443028"]"It's gonna be incredible. We're gonna give everybody that's been buying our records a real show, something they've never seen before."[/article]

Part of that little something extra is Eminem, who will find himself trying to hold his own among his fellow hip-hop heavyweights. [article id="1443028"]"I don't try to compete, man,"[/article] Em said. [article id="1443028"]"I just do what I do. I go out and [do] whatever it is I been doin'... I

don't remember the last show to the next." [RealVideo][/article]
