Like I said, either they lying or their parents failed them .. my kids who are 12 and 9 know about all 80s, 90s and early 2000s music. .. hell, they hate the music that's out there right now ..
The one guy said he recognized the beat at beginning. But your right there is no way they never heard this before. I get they’re younger generation, but if they listen to rap it’s very hard to believe they never heard some of the most famous tracks.
Mid 90's West Coast Rap especially Bay Area was just on another level. Then Dre dropped 2000 and extended that vibe! Pull out tape decks and 13 inch daytons...
Being an older person it’s crazy that people have not heard this song and are shocked to see Dre as a rapper. I knew him as a rapper way before him as just a producer… NWA…. The Chronic…
Me too I grew up with Dre as a rapper, and then grew to know him as a producer. But I think we have to remember this younger generation they haven’t heard the music from our era. They’ve been listening to music from their era. People forget to that Em is three people he’s Eminem when he’s rapping he Slim Shady which is the crazy guy and then Marshall mathers the real guy.
@@kristinkeiner6547 yep it’s clear as day, Dre has NEVER rapped like this and you can tell without people even telling you that Em wrote the whole thing
@@kristinkeiner6547 agree to disagree, but Dre didn’t quite rap with an Eminem cadence. Maybe… MAYBE the “But all you savage cats know that I was strapped with gats while you were cuddling the cabbage patch” line. And the “fuck y’all all y’all” 🤣🤣
When one of the guys said “I know about the Chronic, I’m an old soul” that really hit me in the feels! Lol. I was in high school when Chronic 2001 came out. Best wishes to you guys, it’s been fun watching your show!
Rap (Tupac my favorite ever) and hard rock (Pantera, White Zombie ect.) was unbelievable in the 90's. Now it's rare bangers and a lot of filler. If you didn't live it, I highly recommend you research and have your mind blown...
Not only did Em write the whole song, he did it before the beat was made making it one of the most iconic moments due to making the beat rap around the actual flow (double entendre)
@@knowistrite yes way later than Forgot about Dre. I was giving an example they can look at where a song is written and referenced for Dre. You can’t find a reference track for Forgot about Dre.
@@Fibs4Tibs Yea, you most certainly cannot. Lot of those TI and Dre sessions leaked. Think someone stole some of the records. Dre had couple leaks from Detox. The Syllable s record with Rakim, Jay, and Eminem. That record where it sounded like a Western with Eminem. Ref really only get leaked when someone stole it off a laptop tbh.
Dre always had fire delivery, but very often doesn't write the rap, and he's never hidden that. As many people already said, Em wrote the whole song, same as in "I need a doctor". He is showing his love and respect for Dre when he writes these songs. He's a very loyal friend
@@KelticTim Thank you. Niggas act like this is something new; Cube, Ren, Snoop, Kendrick, Em - Everybody wrote for Dre. If He's partnered with one of the above on wax, best believe they wrote the verse.
Mind blown …. at realizing how old I Really am with y’all having never heard these songs, at the (wonderful and amazing) NOSTALGIA this reaction brought back, and at the realization that your generation truly missed out on what I am so blessed to have experienced and I thank you for giving my generation’s music an honest listen and much respect. Love this page 🙌🏼
Dr Dre's the chronic album changed rap forever. It ushers in the west coast vs east coast rap wars and was where almost everything jumps off from outside of NWA, Ice Cube, and a few others. Dre introduces us to Snoop in "Nuthin but a G thang" and from there the tree branches out, solidifying gangster rap as here to stay for the next decade.
Agree with most of what you said. But I would say the Chronic popularized West Coast rap in general. But the beef at the time was Death Row vs Ruthless Records and Dre vs Eazy. East Coast vs West Coast was going on at that time, but the West was also having beef on their own side. All of it turns to East vs West once Eazy is out of the picture.
Snoop was introduced on Deep cover Soundtrack w Dre. The Chronic album changed the game. Death row vs Ruthless was the top beef after Cube spanked all NWA w No Vaseline that killed that group .East vs West was media fuel after Pac got shot and he declared war on Biggie and Death Row.
I was introduced to hip hop by my older brother in '99. He came home with 2 cds that changed my life forever. Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle and Eminem's The Slim Shady LP. The following year The Marshall Matters LP and Dre's The Chronic 2001 got released and the rest is history. 20 years later and kids today still listen to it. Timeless.
Any song that Eminem is on with Dr. Dre, Eminem always writes Dr. Dre's verses and lines. It's always been like this, he doesn't even ask, he just does it. With this knowledge, y'all should do Say What You Say - Em & Dre The lyrical genius of them going back and forth. When really it was all Em.
I was 20yr old when this was released. Dre is the OG. Eminem was a WHOLE NEW THING when he burst on the scene in UK on Westwood 97/8. Dre/2pac/Eminem were seminal artists. ❤
I think most people know that Dre doesn't write his rhymes but I like his delivery. His voice is distinctive. Clearly, he's a better producer but he deserves more respect than he gets for how good his songs are. Classics.
Dre might not be a lyricist, but he has a very good flow with excellent timing and breath control. As long as a talented rapper writes him some raw ass verses, he'll deliver, even adapting his flow to match the lyricist. Whether it was Ice Cube when he was with NWA, Pac when with Deathrow, or Em at Aftermath.
Eminem writes for Dre every time they collaborate. This was Dre’s comeback, and Em wanted to give him the hardest verses. It takes incredible talent to write for somebody of Dre’s caliber and make it sound like his thoughts. FYI. Dre doesn’t write any of his verses.

Yo you guys got serious about this channel and brought it to an elite status quicker than any reaction channel I’ve seen and you deserve props for that..people-are going to hate constantly no matter what you do it’s never good enough and people will never be happy. So you guys do you and take everything with a grain of salt man. ✌🏽
First time hearing this song, i was 15 in 2001! The greatest Music time ever of Hip Hop. Dre 2001 every day in the car. Proud i was there at that time.
The reason Dre didn't wanna sign 50 wasn't because he thought he was wack, it's because of 50's reputation at that time. After 50 got shot he got dropped by Columbia Records and no other label, including Dre/Aftermath, wanted to sign dude somebody who was that deep in the trenches.

I’ll never forget the day The Chronic came out, I was 15 and borrowed my friends cd to record on a cassette, even if I get Alzheimer’s I’ll be able to quote the entire album ❤
Been bumpin this for 20+ years, well, the original. it’s very cool to see you guys discovering it! What’s even more impressive is how good this track still is today
@@coltenn8785 He also called it a classic at 0:40 right after someone said the name and a "classic classic classic" again at 1:50 when others said they don't know the song. He clearly admits he knows the song from the jump...
I was born in 89, and I swear the nineties, and even up to twenty ten, was the golden era for rap and hip hop. Tupac, DMX, Wu Tang Clan, Biggie, Eazy E, Andre 3000 and even OutKast, Mystikal, Missy Elliot, Lil Kim, NWA, Bone Thugz N Harmony, I loved rap before Eminem and Lil Wayne era but those two artists alone made me forever a rap fan.
Ice Cube wrote Dre's verses when he was with NWA, Snoop and various Death Row artists wrote his lyrics on The Chronic, and Em, Jay Z, and a few others wrote the lyrics on Chronic 2001.. Dre has never been a lyricist..
Em wrote the lyrics as pure homage to dre and originally wrote it for dre and snoop on c2001- Em wrote it and took it to dre. They did it together in the end and what a tune
OMG!!! ONLY CD I EVER BOUGHT BESIDES BOB MARLEY!!! ❤❤❤❤ Sitting here, singing everywhere. Definitely miss this song and my back in the day music!!! 🔥🔥🔥🥰🥰😍😍😍
MJB is the first R&B singer to sing on hardcore hip hop tracks. You might not be able to tell that from her current stuff but in the beginning she was in a class by herself.
Y’all are cracking me up! 😹😹 This song was off Dre’s 2001 Chronic album and I had just turned 16 got my first car a white convertible. We were bumping this rolling down the 405 thinking we were gansta. Instead it probably looked like a scene from White Chicks!!! LMAO
I was a 70s kids (Led Zeppelin, The Who, Queen, etc) 80s teen punk (Dead Kennedys, Descendents, D.R.I., etc) and in the 90s I had a pair of 15 inch subwoofers in the trunk of my Audi. Now that I’m old I like most kinds of music, but always had mad respect for Dr Dre.
The most impressive thing about this isn’t that em wrote it, Dre producing a beat that is legit perfect for the lyrics, or the amazing collab… it’s that you can tell the cadence and tone change in the lyrics… meaning that em was able to visualize dres cadence, tone, and rap style as inspiration while writing dres verses and then was able to completely switch up the writing style for his verse and the chorus to match his cadence, tone, and rap style. That’s why some songs you hear by artists don’t feel right when they don’t write them themselves. This is what happens when one of if not the best lyricists of all time works together with one of the best producers of all time… and the reason many of us are here 20+ years later watching a reaction video…true artistry.
“Murder was the Case”, “Deep Cover”, “Who am I” and “Nothin but a “G” Thang” are great songs with Snoop and Dre on them. “Lodi Dodi” and “Lay Low” are great Snoop songs.
Classics 💯 When I was 16 crashed my car, rode in an ambulance strapped to a gurney singing “murder was the case” along with my friend who rode with me on the way to the hospital. EMT’s probably hated our ass 😂
Em wrote this entire song. He originally wrote it for Dre and Snoop, but Dre said he liked how Em sounded on the hook, and the rest is history. The Next Episode is my #1 all time favorite song. You guys still need to react to "Rap Game" from the 8 Mile soundtrack. Eminem, feat 50 Cent and D-12.
Also, not sure if you guys caught it, but during Hittman's verse, he says "highly intensive tounge talents making all nervous". That's what the H.I.T.T.M.A.N. stands for.
I still remember the day this cd dropped, anxiously waiting for my ride to pick me up early so we could go to the mall and grab it, then we went back and spent the entire afternoon just playing it on repeat. I'm almost 40, still know the lyrics to this one lol.
Dr Dre 2001. One of the greatest rap albums ever. This song is just 1 of many awesome tracks on it. Keep their heads ringing from the Friday soundtrack is another quality Dre track.
Hearing you didnt know about Dre hurt my soul lol give him a listen he did discover Em. Much love and respect. Dre part of NWA started it all! Respect.
Keisha Cole is dope but Mary J is legendary status in R&B. I’m sure Keisha would agree. As far as Dre as a rapper, albums are Platinum. That should tell you what you need to hear.
Yeah Irish guy How does it feel blaming the crime of an Algerian on other migrants huh??? I guess that's what you British people like Immigrants who work as doctors and social services are the ones being Harassed and assaulted..called racial slurs But yet you let the criminals roam free right???? So impartial of you
How is it that I am 38, white, from Seattle and I know EVERY SINGLE WORD to this song......and these young men dont!?. This was my jam as a freshman....and still is.
I'm 45. From a little village in the middle of England. I had to drive 50 miles to the nearest record store. I was the first person in England to buy Black Sunday by Cypress Hill, and the first person in England to buy the limited edition Temples of Boom album from Cypress Hill too. I was primarily a Drum&Bass wannabe dj back in my teens, so I had to visit that record store to buy my vinyl, but I also started buying a lot of old school rap and hiphop too, so I was already up on my rap by time Eminem dropped and basically took the world by storm. It was phenomenal.
My favorite bit in this song is: "So, what do you say to somebody you hate (What?) Or anyone tryna bring trouble your way? Wanna resolve things in a bloodier way? (Yup) Just study a tape of N.W.A" Because I still have my cassette tape of NWA straight outta Compton from 1988. I love that he said study a tape of NWA, because cassettes were a big deal back then! There are so many amazing references in this one song, like: "Who you think brought you the oldies? Eazy-E's, Ice Cubes, and D.O.C's The Snoop D-O-double-G's And the group that said, "Motherfuck the police" I mean he really flexes on all the rap that he's brought to us over the decades! I do so love it when him and Eminem get together
I can't believe there are people that only hear this kind of rap now. But then I'm thinking that was me hearing some 70's/80's classics in the 90s. Dre will always be the king
How was this eminems debut??? Do you listen to music? This was at least 4 years in to eminems major career, and prior to that he was killing mixtapes and was with rawkus records
@@topnotchtint216tintwrap8 do you know how to read? and if you were alive at that time you would know. LOL I just realized you think this came out in 2001 because it's on the Chronic 2001 lolllolol He was not on the radio and MTV until Hi, My Name Is came out and that was only 9 months prior to this album being released.
Dre had his verses written for him a lot. Man, I'm so glad you guys are traveling this rap road and discovering what a lot of people y'all age are ignorant to. I have a few suggestions: "Luchini aka This Is It" by Camp Lo, "It's O.K." by Eminem(from Infinite album), and "Mr. Niceguy" by Will Smith(Lost and Found album). Keep up the good work.
This song, is the first time I actually paid attention to Eminem. Like I had heard "My Name Is" before this, but I couldn't follow it. My power level wasn't high enough and I got overloaded. I always loved Dre, so when 2001 came out I saw this video, the first single from the album. When I heard this one, that was when my Eminem journey began. So I hold this song as very dear and special to me.
I remember my Granparents gave me all these cd's they found in their mailbox of their apartment, and i was so hype cause one of them was Dre's Cronic....that was such a good album, Dre might not be a wordsmith but his message is DIRECT and REAL af...
As many others have said, yes, Em wrote both his verses (the feature originally intended for Snoop), and Dre’s verses. *But,* I still give Dre credit for his delivery (and general badass production skills). Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe Dre did write for himself on the recent-ish Em collab “Gospel.”
I refuse to believe this is the first time all of them have heard this absolute classic masterpiece of a song
Like I said, either they lying or their parents failed them .. my kids who are 12 and 9 know about all 80s, 90s and early 2000s music. .. hell, they hate the music that's out there right now ..
It has fo be for attention and likes. Unless they are grew up as minorities.
It's very odd.
The one guy said he recognized the beat at beginning. But your right there is no way they never heard this before. I get they’re younger generation, but if they listen to rap it’s very hard to believe they never heard some of the most famous tracks.
I mean if theyre just listening to the most recent mainstream music it makes sense
I agree.. how the hell they ain't never heard these tracks they be showing
Eminem wrote Dre’s Verses. That’s why he’s rapping like him
He wrote the whole song
Still 🔥 verse that only Dre could do!
Straight facts 👏
@@okocha7914 Yeah if he wrote Dre's and his own part that means he wrote the song lol
It had that "one thing i do know though bitches they come they go" kinda flow
I really do feel for those who didnt grow up in this era of hip hop and rap!! They missed out massively
Og
Yes! I have three teenagers and I made sure from a fairly young age that they were introduced to Pac, Dre, Em, Mary J Blige etc
Nothing will ever be like the 90s music or 90s anything
Mid 90's West Coast Rap especially Bay Area was just on another level. Then Dre dropped 2000 and extended that vibe! Pull out tape decks and 13 inch daytons...
True but they can definitely discover it and love it too.
Being an older person it’s crazy that people have not heard this song and are shocked to see Dre as a rapper. I knew him as a rapper way before him as just a producer… NWA…. The Chronic…
Same hahaha
He doesnt rap anywhere in Straight Outta Compton, only in efil4zaggin
I’m 15 and I’m still shocked people haven’t listened to it 😂

Correction, Royce da 5'9" wrote Dre's verse.
Em wrote it, but Dre delivered with his flow! And the beat is legendary!!
Dr. Dre delivered his verses with Eminem’s cadence. Dr. Dre used Eminem’s reference vocals for his verses. You can hear it if you listen.
@@kristinkeiner6547 yep it’s clear as day, Dre has NEVER rapped like this and you can tell without people even telling you that Em wrote the whole thing

This song was written by Eminem.
Was actually written for Snoop Dogg as well. But Eminem spit it to show how Snoop should do it and Dre decided Eminem should do it

so just tell us you don't know what double entendre means
@firstnamelastname6193 dawg I was thinking that reading his comment 😂
Most rappers had to write the verse before the studio sessions back in the days. Studio time was expensive
He wrote the watcher too
Em wrote Forgot About Dre for snoop and Dre. But laid down reference vocals for snoop's parts and Dre liked it so he kept Em on it.
I'm a 35 white dude from new Zealand still listen to dre 2001 from start to finish every now and then
I love that album 👌
Bang bang is personally my favourite.... 41yr old fat white man feeling a bit ridiculous playing it loud in the car 😅

16 in 2000 where the party at

Any song that Eminem is on with Dr. Dre, Eminem always writes Dr. Dre's verses and lines. It's always been like this, he doesn't even ask, he just does it.
With this knowledge, y'all should do
Say What You Say - Em & Dre
The lyrical genius of them going back and forth. When really it was all Em.
HELL Yeah, Say What you Say, is fantastic, lots of bars in that one. "However you want it you can have it your way"
Just like Cube, DOC, and Snoop did before Em. Dre can recognize talent like none other
Guilty conscience as well please

Ngl at first I was like how these mfs never heard this song before then I remember it has been more than 20 years since this song came out.
Dre might not be a lyricist, but he has a very good flow with excellent timing and breath control. As long as a talented rapper writes him some raw ass verses, he'll deliver, even adapting his flow to match the lyricist. Whether it was Ice Cube when he was with NWA, Pac when with Deathrow, or Em at Aftermath.
Don't forget Jay wrote him a few songs
The songs Em writes for Dre, Em raps over them first to show Dre how the flow should sound. Check out "crack a bottle demo leak"
«breath control» u think he did it all in one take?
You are correct with 2Pac all eyes on me. And everything from Eminem. But can we be straight that the guy just fell into awesomeness around him?
He knows flow because he makes beats and knows timing
My all time favorite Dr Dre song. Dre and Eminem killed it 😎.

Dre discovered Eminem too. Produced almost all of his first few albums. Eminem owes everything to Dre. I love their bromance fr
And Dre owes it all to EM. He even said he was losing it all. Show respect where respect is due.
Eminem not only features on the track, he also wrote almost all of the lyrics, including the majority of Dre’s verses
Every Dre verse not majority
All of Dre’s verses were written by someone else. Eminem, Jay-Z, etc

Replace ass like that with "kim" off mmlp. He went nuts on there
Yesss 97 Bonnie and Clyde
Yes please, that whole first CD is crazy
and Kim lmao
Pretty sure they did Bonnie Clyde a year ago
The reason Dre didn't wanna sign 50 wasn't because he thought he was wack, it's because of 50's reputation at that time. After 50 got shot he got dropped by Columbia Records and no other label, including Dre/Aftermath, wanted to sign dude somebody who was that deep in the trenches. You gotta remember that almost ALL of the street dudes in NY had real beef with 50 back then. Em was the only one smart and crazy enough to take that risk and it worked.

@@coltenn8785 He also called it a classic at 0:40 right after someone said the name and a "classic classic classic" again at 1:50 when others said they don't know the song. He clearly admits he knows the song from the jump...
I was born in 89, and I swear the nineties, and even up to twenty ten, was the golden era for rap and hip hop. Tupac, DMX, Wu Tang Clan, Biggie, Eazy E, Andre 3000 and even OutKast, Mystikal, Missy Elliot, Lil Kim, NWA, Bone Thugz N Harmony, I loved rap before Eminem and Lil Wayne era but those two artists alone made me forever a rap fan.
I think Too $hort is pretty solid too. I remember my dad introducing me to his music
I feel like dying… 💫
The 80s rappers deserve their flowers
Dre was spitting because Em wrote the entire song, ( Dre is a producer so most people don't mind him having writers ) Em writes most of Dre's verses
Dre is one of the biggest rappers of all time before he ever became a producer.
@@gloriakuhn8670 lol nah he’s been a producer his whole career
@@gloriakuhn8670 What are you on? 😂😂
@@gloriakuhn8670 in what world ? wtf are you talking about
Ice Cube wrote Dre's verses when he was with NWA, Snoop and various Death Row artists wrote his lyrics on The Chronic, and Em, Jay Z, and a few others wrote the lyrics on Chronic 2001.. Dre has never been a lyricist..
A duo that will not be touched ever.... these dudes were just sick.
I love how the 2 front men play like they never heard it, while the 3 in the back are just waiting for better tracks to review
Em wrote the lyrics as pure homage to dre and originally wrote it for dre and snoop on c2001- Em wrote it and took it to dre. They did it together in the end and what a tune
The choke you to death with a charleston chew line still gets me to this day 🤣 💥💥💥
OMG!!! ONLY CD I EVER BOUGHT BESIDES BOB MARLEY!!! ❤❤❤❤
Sitting here, singing everywhere. Definitely miss this song and my back in the day music!!!
🔥🔥🔥🥰🥰😍😍😍
MJB is the first R&B singer to sing on hardcore hip hop tracks. You might not be able to tell that from her current stuff but in the beginning she was in a class by herself.
Mjb and method man is one of the greatest song
Hence her title: Queen of Hip-Hop Soul
Y’all are cracking me up! 😹😹 This song was off Dre’s 2001 Chronic album and I had just turned 16 got my first car a white convertible. We were bumping this rolling down the 405 thinking we were gansta. Instead it probably looked like a scene from White Chicks!!! LMAO
Dude! I grew up with this shit. I love it ^_^ Thanks for the throwback!
I like the friendly vibe......I like to see happy people just chilling........Keep it going!
I was a 70s kids (Led Zeppelin, The Who, Queen, etc) 80s teen punk (Dead Kennedys, Descendents, D.R.I., etc) and in the 90s I had a pair of 15 inch subwoofers in the trunk of my Audi. Now that I’m old I like most kinds of music, but always had mad respect for Dr Dre.
The entire song was written by eminem. Eminem wrote dre's verses
Now go listen to the entire album from start to finish.
Or perhaps all of them, starting with the Deep Cover soundtrack, followed by The Chronic.
The most impressive thing about this isn’t that em wrote it, Dre producing a beat that is legit perfect for the lyrics, or the amazing collab… it’s that you can tell the cadence and tone change in the lyrics… meaning that em was able to visualize dres cadence, tone, and rap style as inspiration while writing dres verses and then was able to completely switch up the writing style for his verse and the chorus to match his cadence, tone, and rap style. That’s why some songs you hear by artists don’t feel right when they don’t write them themselves. This is what happens when one of if not the best lyricists of all time works together with one of the best producers of all time… and the reason many of us are here 20+ years later watching a reaction video…true artistry.
“Murder was the Case”, “Deep Cover”, “Who am I” and “Nothin but a “G” Thang” are great songs with Snoop and Dre on them. “Lodi Dodi” and “Lay Low” are great Snoop songs.
Murder was the case still goes hard. Beat, flow and delivery.
Classics 💯 When I was 16 crashed my car, rode in an ambulance strapped to a gurney singing “murder was the case” along with my friend who rode with me on the way to the hospital. EMT’s probably hated our ass 😂
"No mo endo, gin and juice." Probably my favorite Snoop song.
Lodi Dodi is a cover of the Slick Rick song
The whole Doggystyle album is a work of art
Been listening to Rap since the early/mid 90s and this is still my favorite rap song of all time to this day
Em wrote this entire song. He originally wrote it for Dre and Snoop, but Dre said he liked how Em sounded on the hook, and the rest is history. The Next Episode is my #1 all time favorite song. You guys still need to react to "Rap Game" from the 8 Mile soundtrack. Eminem, feat 50 Cent and D-12.
Also, not sure if you guys caught it, but during Hittman's verse, he says "highly intensive tounge talents making all nervous". That's what the H.I.T.T.M.A.N. stands for.
I have this single bought it when i was 12 years old in the netherlands ❤🎉
I still remember the day this cd dropped, anxiously waiting for my ride to pick me up early so we could go to the mall and grab it, then we went back and spent the entire afternoon just playing it on repeat. I'm almost 40, still know the lyrics to this one lol.
Dr Dre 2001. One of the greatest rap albums ever. This song is just 1 of many awesome tracks on it. Keep their heads ringing from the Friday soundtrack is another quality Dre track.
Hearing you didnt know about Dre hurt my soul lol give him a listen he did discover Em. Much love and respect. Dre part of NWA started it all! Respect.
It started long before NWA.
I don't believe it tho
I'm FREAKING OUT RN I forgot this song COMPLETELY
I'm so excited to hear it rn omgomgomg those were some GOOD times
Keisha Cole is dope but Mary J is legendary status in R&B. I’m sure Keisha would agree. As far as Dre as a rapper, albums are Platinum. That should tell you what you need to hear.
Diddy got platinum albums also but he sucks as a rapper. Dre's flow is actually pretty good for someone who isn't primarily a rapper.
@@ariefraiser140 that’s a good point. I think I only purchased one album back in the day. Only one song sticks out and cannot remember the rest.
This song is a banger. You got to do Em & Dre "guilty conscience" music vidoe now. That lil jab Em took at Will Smith lol.
But not clean guilty conscience 😂
@@ogdusan2080 clean guilty conscience is soo annoying
Omg they make me feel old they so young but these young people don’t know my generation grew up with all this it was fire 🔥
I'm a 37-year-old Irish guy. These are the tunes we grew up on in Dublin. For us Dre was a rapper first, then a producer. Love your videos, keep it up
Yeah Irish guy
How does it feel blaming the crime of an Algerian on other migrants huh???
I guess that's what you British people like
Immigrants who work as doctors and social services are the ones being Harassed and assaulted..called racial slurs
But yet you let the criminals roam free right????
So impartial of you
Glad to see young gunz showing love to the old heads... This song was unmatched when it came out.
What's crazy is Eminem wrote this whole song including Dr. Dre's verse ❤️🔥
I’ll go ahead and admit your my favorite reaction channel for awhile now. It’s just the way it is
one of my fave stims sometimes is the “nowadays everybody wanna talk..” like that whole bit flowssss
This and “Guilty Conscience” were the first times we heard Eminem in mainstream play if I remember right
My name is was his breakout
Late 90s/early 200s rap/hip hop was some of the best ever
Dr.dre is the most important person in rap music history
We have Em, MaryJ, Snoop and 50 bc of Dre. Best Era of music imo
Dre is an icon... one of the best of all time.. this is an amazing song..
Dre is just a pure musician. Period. Put him in a studio in front of a soundboard and he’s a genius.
This was one of Eminem's first songs out, this and Guilty Conscience. That's when the world starting knowing his name.
He blew up from My Name Is
❤ love watching their reactions..and their all gorgeous 😍
Whole song was written by Em, and then Em gave it to Dre to help his album The Cronic 2001.
How is it that I am 38, white, from Seattle and I know EVERY SINGLE WORD to this song......and these young men dont!?. This was my jam as a freshman....and still is.
Same except 35 South Georgia 😂
I'm 45. From a little village in the middle of England.
I had to drive 50 miles to the nearest record store. I was the first person in England to buy Black Sunday by Cypress Hill, and the first person in England to buy the limited edition Temples of Boom album from Cypress Hill too.
I was primarily a Drum&Bass wannabe dj back in my teens, so I had to visit that record store to buy my vinyl, but I also started buying a lot of old school rap and hiphop too, so I was already up on my rap by time Eminem dropped and basically took the world by storm. It was phenomenal.
Eminem wrote dre’s verses
Facts
How do the clowns presenting this not know/ clarify/ explain? Smh
I appreciate the content y'all put out keep it up and I listen to dre rap songs still and and also listen to new music and old music
"Gospel" gotta be next bro they both go HARD on that one
They have to do it.
@@angelajohnson587 they already reacted to it, but Brandon wasn't on it
This song is what is classed as an eternal classic. 🔥🔥🔥🔥😂😂
I think it's cool how Dre adapted to Eminem for this one 🎵 🎶
My favorite bit in this song is:
"So, what do you say to somebody you hate (What?)
Or anyone tryna bring trouble your way?
Wanna resolve things in a bloodier way? (Yup)
Just study a tape of N.W.A"
Because I still have my cassette tape of NWA straight outta Compton from 1988. I love that he said study a tape of NWA, because cassettes were a big deal back then!
There are so many amazing references in this one song, like:
"Who you think brought you the oldies?
Eazy-E's, Ice Cubes, and D.O.C's
The Snoop D-O-double-G's
And the group that said, "Motherfuck the police"
I mean he really flexes on all the rap that he's brought to us over the decades! I do so love it when him and Eminem get together
I can't believe there are people that only hear this kind of rap now. But then I'm thinking that was me hearing some 70's/80's classics in the 90s. Dre will always be the king
this was the first time most people ever saw Eminem. Huge debut on this hook
How was this eminems debut??? Do you listen to music? This was at least 4 years in to eminems major career, and prior to that he was killing mixtapes and was with rawkus records
@@topnotchtint216tintwrap8 do you know how to read? and if you were alive at that time you would know. LOL I just realized you think this came out in 2001 because it's on the Chronic 2001 lolllolol He was not on the radio and MTV until Hi, My Name Is came out and that was only 9 months prior to this album being released.
you guys should live stream listening to the entire Chronic Album. You wanna hear Dre Rap? Man he was a PIONEER of rap.
Dre had his verses written for him a lot. Man, I'm so glad you guys are traveling this rap road and discovering what a lot of people y'all age are ignorant to. I have a few suggestions: "Luchini aka This Is It" by Camp Lo, "It's O.K." by Eminem(from Infinite album), and "Mr. Niceguy" by Will Smith(Lost and Found album). Keep up the good work.
Same with Eazy E
@@Slaughtercvlt True. Not a lot of people know that either.
If it took you to 2022 to here this tune, you've been living under a rock that's under another rock
Right?!? These kids....
This song, is the first time I actually paid attention to Eminem. Like I had heard "My Name Is" before this, but I couldn't follow it. My power level wasn't high enough and I got overloaded. I always loved Dre, so when 2001 came out I saw this video, the first single from the album. When I heard this one, that was when my Eminem journey began. So I hold this song as very dear and special to me.
Solo , Em wrote Dre’s part, but Dre killed the delivery
No way yall hadn't heard this jam? That whole album was the $hit!!!
I remember my Granparents gave me all these cd's they found in their mailbox of their apartment, and i was so hype cause one of them was Dre's Cronic....that was such a good album, Dre might not be a wordsmith but his message is DIRECT and REAL af...
As many others have said, yes, Em wrote both his verses (the feature originally intended for Snoop), and Dre’s verses. *But,* I still give Dre credit for his delivery (and general badass production skills). Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe Dre did write for himself on the recent-ish Em collab “Gospel.”
