Love Dre for the fact that he never hides if his verses were written by someone else (unlike many others)... He knows he is a GOAT producer and comfortable in his lane... Hence never hides when he raps on someone else's writing. On a side note, Dre says he has no idea why Em wrote that song. But he knows why .. I'm a researcher and I often write stuff/papers for my supervisors to collaborate with me so that I can make them proud, when they read whatever I wrote. Em did the same... He just wanted to make his mentor proud

[@TheodorTosho]

Back in the day you were shamed to death, if someone else wrote your lyrics. Dre did try to hide the fact other people wrote bunch of his shit...

[@prestomollesto9340]

In Dres defence, he doesn't write alot of his lyrics in general. Usually if someone wants to do a song with him, the person asking usually writes his part. It was like that back in the day as well, Ice cube would write some of his stuff. Dre was mostly a making beats kind of person.

[@davidsimmons4731]

He has no reason to hide it. He's a producer by trade, not a rapper.

[@Take_Down_Squad]

[@CrAzYDUde2587]

Eminem came from a place of having nearly nobody by his side besides the big ugly bastards named pain and suffering, I know for a fact he appreciated what his early music industry friends like Dre did for him more than most could ever imagine because most have never been so hopeless. That song in my opinion was a thank you for Dre being so good to Em when he needed it💯

[@RubyGxoxo]

Crazy that Dre didn’t know what triggered Eminem to write the song. I thought it was planned out and it was a methodical part of the story/album. It was so fitting because Dre had been on a long hiatus and when he came back with this album, it made sense and it just made it that much better. Eminem is a true artist.

[@javiarcamaro7178]

"he just came with some lyrics, and we wrote some music" like just how casual he was about making one of hip hops top bops to listen to. "Yeah we just randomly made a multi million dollar winning song...just kind of cause

When you say something is "a head of its time" This song is a prime example of that. The beat hits HARD AF for 90s 00s 2010s, 2020s, and will in 2050. No matter what generation, or party you're at, you play this song and it fucking HITS!!!. Absolute banger, I always knew the song word for word, and still have to rap the chorus every time.

Reference vocals? In A suggestive manner? Bro….Eminem was ghostwriting for snoop dogg too? We all knew he wrote Dre’s shit especially early on. Now, doesn’t mean Eminem wrote anything for snoop just that he was suggesting what it should sound like on beat relating to the TIMING or syllable count specifically, but it’s soooo ODD for me to hear any of the BIGGEST rappers damn near in their prime getting REFERENCES to how they should RAP when what they are SUCCESSFUL for is RAPPING O.o I’ll never understand it no matter how lightly anyone puts it.

[@fringeminority3224]

Still Dre was written by Jay-Z. He wrote for Dre and Snoop. When that song first drop I thought it was their song 100% cuz it sounded West Coast but years later we found out that wasn't the truth. Props to Jay for that and I'm not even a big Jay-Z fan
