Speaking to reporters about the new school at a press conference on Monday, Dr. Dre said, "I think it's going to be something extremely different. I'm still trying to learn myself and understand the politics and the hurdles that we have to get over to help. All we're here to do is help the kids. We're here strictly for the kids and trying to give them a future and something promising that maybe wasn't available before then, so that is our intent."
Iovine also spoke at the conference and revealed, "I didn't have great experiences at school and I don’t believe Dre did either, but it feels awesome to be here because the idea is to try."
