A reporter from ET jokingly asked the LA hip-hop mogul what event he wanted to tryout for at the Olympics, and he responded with... archery.

"I'm deada*** serious. I actually started playing around with archery in junior high," Dr. Dre said. "I stopped for awhile, and my son bought me a set-up, I don't know if it was for my birthday or Father's Day or something like that."

With four years left, Dr. Dre remains confident that he has what it takes to not only qualify for the Olympics but also reach the podium.

"I have it set up in my backyard and I heard qualifying for the Olympics is 77 feet. I practice at 90," the rapper said.

Dr. Dre also mentioned how his rapper friend Snoop Dogg refers to him as 'Braveheart' now, in reference to the blockbuster movie.

"Wouldn't that be interesting to go, especially with it being here in LA, and win the gold medal... I feel like I can do anything."
