This is just a straight up classic. I mean, I am 70s child and I can appreciate where Dre came from, he knew what made music tick. This track defo has its roots mixed in with George Clinton and Bootsy Collins, that funky tempo, vocal FX and the big sound "glamour" via the production choices.
This does have an infectious groove. I will argue that the one that could top this is "The Seed 2.0" by the Roots. I'd love to see that song next. Amazing groove.
I dig it. I quite like this one. 90s rap/hip hop for the most part just wasn't for me. The 80s was more my jam, with run dmc, beastie boys, de la soul and public enemy. I liked that sound. I couldn't stand gangsta rap. All that rapping about violence, guns, hoes and smackin' women about just isn't my thing.
Not a huge rap fan but this was, is and probably will always be the best vibe of a rap song ever except maybe some of the Hilltop Hoods stuff like "Hard Road" and "What a Great Night" but those are very different thematically to this. Shame Tupac was claimed by the violence that was endemic in the scene at the time because he could act too and could have become a much bigger figure than he already was given the opportunity.

Exactly! “What is there not to like?” And I agree, one of the best songs of all time.

The vocal effects were contributed by the late great master of the talkbox Roger Troutman from the band Zapp and Roger.
