Dr Dre - Still D.R.E. ft Snoop Dogg - A Reaction

[@iamangee]

Seeing Snoop crip walk to this song on national television while performing at the Super Bowl last year was almost as iconic as the song lol

[@jamie3093]

Tupac would’ve been spinning in his grave knowing that Jay-Z wrote Dre’s big West Coast ‘come back’ record 😂

[@YourMom-oz9ds]

Did jay make the beat? Did jay program the drums? Did jay clean it up? Nah, jay only did what ghost writers do. This joint isn’t recognized for its lyrical prowess.

[@jamie3093]

I’m just talking lyrics. Jay don’t make beats

[@shaunfromdabust]

Tupac didn't even really know who the fuck Jay Z was

[@ArtisanWindchimes]

@@shaunfromdabust never even met him

@@YourMom-oz9ds So why did hose corny west coast guys not just write their own song then. They had to come to hov because they know

[@GABA-Gool]

This is the first song I learned when I got my keyboard for Christmas. The beat is bananas.

[@ABoomerReacts]

Great beat for your keyboards!

[@MatadorShifter]

The most iconic and recognizable rap song of all time

I don't know if that's true, it's up there

[@MatadorShifter]

@@gamexsimmonds3581 it is from a demographic standpoint, old heads, mid heads, youngins, millenials, gen z, everybody recognizes it

[@gamexsimmonds3581]

@MatadorShifter And there are no other rap songs like that right...this is the only one

[@gamexsimmonds3581]

"Well if you ain't up on thangs" lol You are a joy to watch my friend. Keep listening 🎶

[@ABoomerReacts]

Thank you!

[@HarryWilmington]

Haaaaa I knew you were going to comment about the chorus beat not changing lol. There's a little static sound that gets thrown in, but other than that, Dre's beats are notorious for being the same throughout, and or sounding the same for the first 3 bars with a change-up in the last bar, then repeating that 3/1 pattern throughout. Usually the riffs are so good that no one notices buuuuut I study this stuff so I always notice (go back and listen to "Forgot About Dre," same type of thing)

[@ABoomerReacts]

I only know what sounds good to me and I think the piano would be more effective if it came in at the beginning of each verse.

[@robensonbadette6102]

Classic song

[@jameshoward8544]

Still need to react to .......Ahmad - Back in the day, DJ Quick - Safe and sound, MC Breed - Anit no Future, Rodney 0 Joe Cooley - Everlasting Bass, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - the Message.

[@BornSavior555]

Dr. Dre most successful solo artists is Snoop and Eminem, but my favorite solo artist he worked with is The D.O.C.

[@ABoomerReacts]

I have 4 D.O.C. songs on my request list. Give me a song title you like by him and I'll see if it's there.

[@BornSavior555]

@@ABoomerReacts He was known fir flexing his vocals and his accent on Dr. Dre produce but unfortunately he suffered a serious car crash that permanently changed his voice months after recording his only album. He became more of a ghostwriter for artists in his circle.

[@ABoomerReacts]

@@BornSavior555 Yes, I remember that from doing my east coast/west coast rivalry series.

[@mbell7498]

Lyrics written by Jay-Z, piano played by Scott Storch. At least Dr Dre knew how to choose and perform..

[@ABoomerReacts]

I guess that is what a good producer does - pick the best talent for your record. It's giving the talent credit for their work that seems to be his problem.

[@dylans2376]

Still the most iconic rap beat ever

[@LuckyBide]

A straight classic and one of the best hip hop car songs ! 2001 is a great album, I personaly consider it better than The Chronic.

[@Tourist-Q]

I think it would be fun if you listened to some diss tracks where a lot of people within rap music get dissed in one song. 50 Cent - How to rob Afroman - Whack Rappers ... are two songs at the top of my head that you'd probably have fun listening to.

[@ABoomerReacts]

Thanks! How to Rob is on my list and I'll add Whack Rappers (I think I know what that song is about). 😜

[@Tourist-Q]

@@ABoomerReacts yea, it could be about rappers that he considers to be whack.

[@ABoomerReacts]

@@Tourist-Q Now you're just taking wild guesses. 😂😂

[@DutchWeazel]

CLASSIC 🔥🔥🔥

[@CallMeMrTibbs]

Yes, love it!!! That westcoast sound. Great reaction. I noticed there's a lot of Dre naysayers in the comments lol. I'ma say something controversial: New York Bias. Fun fact: Jay wrote a song that was preformed by Bugz Bunny called Buggin on the original Space Jam soundtrack. Not a lot of people know this. Check it out if you get a chance, or add it to your list lol. I was reminded by the Looney Tunes on the wall over your shoulder.

[@ABoomerReacts]

I'm all about Looney Tunes.

[@CallMeMrTibbs]

@@ABoomerReacts Add it to your schedule between a NWA and Tupac reaction lol. Naw, I'm just playing. No need to make it a priority at all. Here's a link to a mini-doc called Still Storch. It's by and about Scott Storch himself talking about different beats etc. that he did when he was at his peak: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bF7KYZ2ultp1gMk Use the time stamp 8:00 - 9:30 only (so a minute and thirty sec long). No other music is played except Still D.R.E. He talks about the process of how him, Dre etc. were creating that beat.

[@ABoomerReacts]

@@CallMeMrTibbs I'll add it to my list. Is it in Bugs Bunny's voice?

[@CallMeMrTibbs]

@@ABoomerReacts Yea man. I think it's the actual voice actor for the cartoon. Id love to hear the reference track that jay would have had to lay for the guy. He did a great job!

[@jeffp.9369]

haha not only did Suge pull the 2000 Chronic move, he even had rappers on the album that were trying to replicate Snoop and Dre's style and catalog. best example is the 1998 Snoop Dogg album "Top Dogg" has a song "Snoopafella", which in itself is a cover of the 1987 Dana Dane single, "Cinderfella". and on the Chronic 2000 album there's a song called "Top Dogg Cinderfella" by a rapper named "Top Dogg". there's even a video of you want to see a knock off Snoop. (i think it's on KZbin, I'm not 100% sure; i only actually saw it in real life back in the day) anyhow, it was all a pretty crazy time .

[@ABoomerReacts]

I would call Suge "petty" but that would be the least of his problems.

[@reggiebrown9508]

Jay Z basically wrote the song. He wrote Dre's lyrics.

[@ABoomerReacts]

Fact.

[@reggiebrown9508]

@@ABoomerReacts He wrote Dre's shit and my shit and it was flawless,” Snoop told The Breakfast Club last year, discussing how his and Dre's verses were penned by Jay-Z. “It was 'Still D.R.E. ' and it was Jay-Z and he wrote the whole fucking song.”

[@ABoomerReacts]

@@reggiebrown9508 True. Just as I discussed in this video.

dope song.. Dre's part was written by Jay-Z

[@vincentwilliams71]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Tourist-Q]

I truly believe that Tupac would have buried the hatchet with both Dre and Snoop by that time. Maybe "Still Dre" would have been Dr. Dre featuring 2Pac instead of Snoop, who knows.

[@ABoomerReacts]

I agree. And he would have buried the hatchet with Big.

[@curtisowens3736]

I’d like to request the song Dope. By T.I. Produced by Dr, Dre.

[@ABoomerReacts]

Thanks! I'll add it to my list.

[@patrickcsizmadi2276]

Scott Storch is a major producer, and he is behind the piano. Love Dr. Dre, but he has always taken credit for records that he has barely touched. He puts the cherry on top, in other words. Daz produced a lot for Death Row as well. This song is Dr. Dre's biggest hit, and it has a feature guest, written by Jay-Z and barely produced by Dre.

[@KCBAYBOI]

Scott himself said he did the piano riff and credit Dre and gave him the credit he deserves, always fans trying to discredit, Dre track record speaks for itself with and without whomever gets brought up as a co-producer.

[@patrickcsizmadi2276]

@KCBayBoi not discrediting him at all. I view him more as a conductor, putting it all together at the end. He brings it out of artists and talent. Problem is that he barely acknowledges the people that co produce with him, who do majority of the beats.

[@ABoomerReacts]

This is so relevant to me now because I just filmed my reaction to Got My Mind Made Up by Tupac and the bio I read talks about this exact thing.

[@KCBAYBOI]

@Patrick Csizmadi that's no true either, ever since Dj Yella it has always said who the co producer has been , Mel Man, Mike Eliz... Yes, he spice things up for others beats, Dre didn't have a team in the NWA Wrecking crew era.and that music is timeless, this didn't start until Daz feelings got hurt in the Death Row era

[@patrickcsizmadi2276]

@KCBayBoi yes, they are credited if u look up the credits. If you ask the majority of the people, they will say its a Dr.Dre beat. In the earlier 2000s people also thought those were his raps till the ghostwriting came to forefront. I'm not taking away Dr.Dre's success or credibility as an executive producer. As a beat maker, he definitely has help. He is no Swizz Beats or Timbaland as far as making beats. Does he engineer them better and make them sound like classics... 100%.

[@blackstoneproductions9674]

Another great reaction, Do you think you can react to “A Bitch Iz A Bitch” By N.W.A. However Ice Cube is the only one out of the group who raps on this part,”Blow the Whistle”, “I’m a player” and “So you wanna be a gangster” are some good songs too I’d recommend. I’d really appreciate it, thank you🙏🙏

My least favorite song from dre and snoop. Probably because it’s played too way too much when I grew up and even now. I recognize that the song is legendary mainly the piano beat.
