Family and longtime friends gathered for the star’s unveiling right in front of the El Capitan Entertainment Center on Hollywood Boulevard, where “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” is taped.

Kimmel was there to honor the 16-time Grammy-nominated rapper. Dr. Dre, Quincy Jones, and Pharrell Williams were also on hand to celebrate.

After thanking Jones, Dr. Dre, Warren G and his extended close family for their support over the years, Snoop didn’t forget to thank himself.

“Last but not least, I want to thank me,” Snoop chuckled. “I want to thank me for believing in me. I want to thank me for doing all this hard work.”

The Walk of Fame ceremony was just four days before the 25th anniversary of the release of his debut album Doggystyle, which was released on Nov. 23, 1993. The album debuted No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and sold more than 11 million copies worldwide through November 2015.
