Last night in Inglewood wasn’t just a concert — it was a homecoming. The 21st anniversary of 1500 Day proved why 1500 or Nothin’ isn’t just a GRAMMY® Award-winning collective, but a cultural institution that Dakar TV got an invite from X.eyee to document every step, that founder Rance Dopson took day to evening.
From the moment the doors opened at WePlay Studios in Inglewood., you could feel it — generations of artists, creators, and community members coming together to honor the journey and the responsibility that comes with influence.

The evening performance, backed by the 1500 All-Star Band, was nothing short of iconic. When Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg took the stage, the room shifted. This wasn’t nostalgia — this was mastery in real time. Precision, soul, and legacy wrapped into one unforgettable set.
Guiding the entire celebration was six-time GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Rance Dopson, whose vision has grown 1500 Day from a musicians’ gathering into a full-scale cultural landmark recognized by the City of Inglewood.
