JAY-Z was in attendance for the Super Bowl on Sunday (February 13) to see the Los Angeles Rams defeat the Cincinnati Bengals, while also catching the epic halftime show put together by Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar and Mary J. Blige.
In a set that ran through each of their hits, Dre and Snoop put on a performance of their classic 2001 single “Still D.R.E.,” which JAY-Z actually wrote. A proud Hov was spotted in the crowd rapping along to every word, with Beyoncé doing the same in front of him.

The beauty of Jay writing for Dre and Snoop is there was no West Coast v East Coast foolishness to get in the way of pure creative artistry,just talented men coming together to create magic! It's too bad that Biggie and Pac didn't survive the madness of that era!
They were the reason why hiphop realized they had to squash it
He wrote the lyrics and is trash lyrics. The song is classic because of the beat
@@kingwata1 you're missing the whole point! People are always going to have different opinions about how good or bad a song is,but at one time East and West Coast rappers(and their fans) were like rival gangs! It cost us two of the greatest (in my opinion) that ever lived!
@@kingwata1 What an unintelligent comment!
Worst is that all of it was allegedly over a misunderstanding. 2Pac wrongly thought BIG s side were responsible for him getting shot and before that they were actually cool with each other
It’s crazy how this song never gets old, it’s almost like a representation of legendary
That's what makes a song classic. It's timeless.
when i hear it i always think of Alonzo hittin switches in Training Day with that track playing.
The only thing I know about Jay-Z is that he came to L.A. a few times, and Snoop and Dre told him that, ‘When you on the west coast, you wrote a song for me, don’t worry ’bout nothing Next thing I know he’s taped up, robbed, and gagged ’” Knight recalls.
My high school school senior year theme song
@@markmac2206 Every time!!
That's bad ass all these years I never knew Jay wrote that entire song. Very cool and much respect to Jay Z. What a talented dude and one of the best of all time
Just fyi, Em wrote forgot about Dre.
people forget Jay is a nice writer, he's penned some penned some great songs.
@@DanielFriedman Well, he was on the song, so that's a bit obvious to people. "Still Dre" is for two separate artists, and from an artist outside the camp. Pretty impressive.
@@LurnWell Well, actually, Em meant it for Dre and Snoop. Also, Dre could've written his own verse.
@@DanielFriedman I didn't know that. Those fast lyrics wouldn't have matched Snoop at all. Glad he left it with him and Dre
I truly had no idea that JAY Z wrote Still DRE. Give HOV his flowers. JAY Z is def one of the GOAT’S.
Yea even eminem says he is one of the people who made eminem who he is. So even if you dont like jayz music and you like eminem you should still respect him. Cause he was a big influence on eminem.
@@WM-mu8ep Renegade says otherwise.
@@melvinhhcp3615 reasonable doubt came out the same year as infinite. Jayz was big before eminem. Eminem wasnt big during infinite. They both 96. Eminem even admits he looked up to jayz as one of the greats. Remember in takeover when he rhymed sledgehammer with drama. How he pronounced the word differently. This might be 1 little thing but it was a huge impact on eminem. He said it helped him develope the way he could change words and pronounce them differently to make them rhyme. You might think its something small but it's not small when we are talking about eminem skill that's like a upgrade.
@@melvinhhcp3615 I cant find the clip its lost. I remember eminem talking about how he thought it was cool the way jay would pronounce words different to make them rhyme. I swear I saw him say that a long time ago
@@WM-mu8ep Jay is 88. He was under Jaz-o & Big Daddy Kane. It took him 10 years to blow up. RD flopped, even with cross promotion on the Nutty Professor Soundtrack & help from Foxy Brown. Infinite was an underground album. It wasn't on a major label. In reality, they both came around the the same time, Vol. 2 (1998) & The Slim Shady LP (1998).
My grandma is 76 years old and truly enjoyed herself during the halftime. She loved it so much she DVR'd it! Go grandma go Jay go Dre go mary Go Snoop Go GO!!!!
My favorite moment was the 10 second dedication to 2Pac. I mean considering how the Dre and Pac relationship was when Pac died that was just awesome.
Holy shiiiiiii. Jay is an absolute living fucken legend!!!!!
Still is written by Jay for Dre and only suits him i can't imagine anybody else singing it except dr.dre so thank you Jay.z for this masterpiece and for giving dre the best song which give him his right and thank you dre for that legendary beat
The beat was made by Scott Storch, Dre did nothin
Scott storch did the keys…Dre did the drums
@@Hmack362 you're right
Jay can write and spit off the dome. Jay said once that when he first started rapping and making records he did it to impress his peers...that was the time when he was really spittin fire. Older Jay is cool but you can tell that he matured and was rapping for himself.
Jay has no record of going off top
@@seandafny log off. Everything Jay does is off the dome. He doesn't "write" lyrics tons of artist will attest to that.
Fuck Jay-Z!(ether intro) The idolatry of this man is Sickening.Way more about Dre and snoop than his verse
@@seandafny Watch the black album documentary. He doesn’t write any lyrics down and doesn’t read off of anything in the booth.
@@marinevet4131 yeah he doesn't write everyone knows that he says it himself all the time but memorizing something you've pieced together bit by bit until it's finished isn't an off the dome freestyle. I'd love to see Jay Z try and really freestyle I think he does just a little bit at the end of the legendary Big L freestyle but that's the only time.
Love the lack of ego from snoop. A great collaborative spirit.
Of course he's singing along, he wrote the whole song!
GOAT SHIT
J-Z is the GOAT of what?
@@samadams329 use your imagination
@ JAY BIRD U acting like u always knew that ..u just found out the other day when he did the sit down wit LeBron GTFOH
@@lavernewhite8 homeboy I knew that when the shit came out... that's old news to me.
@@samadams329 your mom and gf
The best part of CDs were the ALBUM COVER & CREDITS. I studied these religiously… performed by, written by, produced by, recorded at (w/ govt names), what samples were used and what labels they were under…. So nostalgic, funny how 20 years later people just finding out S.Carter is sprinkled across hip hop credits!
Bruh you can find all of that i’m wikipedia lmaoooo
@@Joela393 bruh, you the type to believe crowd sourced info.
Jay Z checkmate the game period_his brand is bigger than WONDER BREAD
That was me i wanna know the details
@@Joela393 back then what was Wikipedia
The whole Chronic 2001 album was ahead of its time. Hard to believe that album came out in 1999!!
Jay wrote Still Dre and Eminem wrote Forgot About Dre. The GOATs.
And Em wrote forget about Dre to the "Nigga What, Nigga Who" beat
@@RoddyRodbb Really? That’s something I did not know.
I was just about to post say that lol
& Royce wrote The Message the last song on the album which is the best song on the album in my opinion
Ye is the true goat
I just appreciate how Jay said “I said no to the super bowl. You need me, I don’t need you.” And that’s 100% accuracy because *other* performers will hit the stage and sing tracks that Jay wrote. So he literally never has to touch the stage. King.
He said no and then did a partnership with them the very same year
@@shyybreadd3263 its different though, the halftime show people dont get paid. Id imagine jay z gets paid as he's a director or some sorts. And he was right they needed him, he didnt need them.
The NFL doesn't need anybody except fans who was watching football way before J-Z and will continue to watch way after he's gone
@@samadams329 if they would like to continue THEIR tradition of halftime performances, they actually do need recording artists. In the context that Jay was speaking of, they do need artists.
NFL don't need jay z 😂
Surprised at how many ppl didn't know Jay wrote that song
My sentiments exactly. I’m like how is this news. Next they’ll be discovering that Eminem wrote Forgot About Dre. 🤣
word
Like really for the past 10 years we've been reminded that he wrote this song
Word. Dre a producer. Cube wrote for nwa too
I knew Jay did a lot of writing on 2001 and I knew he wrote Dre's verses for this track but I had always assumed Snoop wrote his own stuff on this song, didn't know Jay wrote his shit yoo
Jay-Z is nothing short of a genius as we already knew.
I can only imagine what Nas must be then coz for sure Hov is special in his own right
@@ntuarabrian948 NAS IS THE SLEEPING GIANT,THE WORDSMITH OF THE CENTURY. "IF I RULED THE 🌎" IS THE CLASSIC OF ALL CLASSICS.
@@Jomonoupapjanmbliyew Exactly it's one of my favorites too man he went at that joint 💯 together with Queen Lauryn Hill...Nas is one of a kind for sure
@@ntuarabrian948 Nas is a rocknroll hall of famer for sure.
@@Jomonoupapjanmbliyew Queensbridge own streets disciple🔥🙌
Jayz does alot for people goes unsung!
That HalfTime Show was Dope
Just made me realize how fast I’ve gotten old.
Jay did the pen, Dre did the drums and Storch did the keys. Best collab in hip hop history
The production grabs you from the 1st note, it sounds foriegn and LA all in one. The flow makes a recipe for a hit. Good job Jay.
When I bought the album when it came out and looking at the liner notes I was floored when I saw Shawn Carter's name on Still Dre
Everyone should be giving Jay z his flowers. Yall do know he is the ceo of NFL entertainment. He made that awesome show happen. Thanks Hov
💯 💯 💯
Exactly 👏👏👏👏👏
Amazing commentary from all of them. I live to listen to greatness in this genre!!! Wonderful!!!!
You can honestly hear Jay's flow in it. This was known years ago but it's making rounds again
I would LOVE to hear that reference track! The fact Jay wrote one of the greatest west coast anthems ever is crack
Your statement right here is all love!👏👏👏
Love seeing great artist have great history together! No need for beef within hip hop, it’s enough room for all of them to shine!
People Need To Give Jay His Flowers. He's Also A BIG Factor Into Why Dre and All Of Them Got The Gig For The Halftime Show
Jay sold out to the NFL. Tell the truth.
@@melvinhhcp3615 playa hatin' huh!?
@@dougmontana157 Telling the truth.
@@melvinhhcp3615 *YOUR "truth"!
@@dougmontana157 * THE truth!... He also sold out when he helped gentrify Brooklyn, also with that Occupy Wallstreet fiasco. It is what it is.
Amazing how everyone is so surprised, we bought hard copy as in CD and open the whole thing and which ever track was banging you check credits. Jay said "What more can I say" I'm not a biter, I'm a writer for myself and others... And Cole made it clear that we must know he wrote his own "Everyday a star is born" Flow so sick thought he wrote the rap for him, no sir... " must I go on?
Jay-Z Ride Or Die. " S. Carter, ghostwriter. And for the right price. I can even make your shit tighter."
Yup but sometimes the real writers weren't listed
@Chris 61982 some ghostwriters use their government names, some even create names.
Scott storch is one of the dopest producers whuz underrated...👍👍 @Jay z@scott storch for making a legendary banger
It's dre beat
Dre produced it. Storch was a hired musician at the time. He said Dre taught him how to produce and program while he made the album. He's a piano player that Dre taught to produce
Storch played the piano 🎹 role
Talented people don't make a lot of empty noise they're full of good knowledge exploding their brain
“I’m not biter, Im a writer for myself and others”…
Check the credits/S Carter, Ghostwriter… for the right price I can even make yo shit tighter
@@ColdJelly19 🔥 💯
Jay wrote it and knows those checks going to come in even heavier now
Jay needs to come out with a damn album, starving over here.
facts hopefully with some timbaland and pharrell productoon
This song never gets old. Jay wrote it its amazing
Big up to Snoop to keep it real like that.
The beats and the lyrics fits perfectly; can’t get any better
Props to jay-z I never knew he wrote that
Yea i remember that interview with snoop he said him and dre couldn't come up with nothing over an hour in the studio dre was like i got somebody that could help he called jay z he flew out got there and busted both of there verses out in a half hour snoop said he was like well damn. I loved when i heard snoop telling that story because it goes to show you jay z is gifted that he was able to write both of there verses and the track came out like they wrote it their selves that's wut makes it dope to me.
I remember when this song came out and I told people Jay Z wrote it and nobody believed me because it was right after the west coast vs East coast beefs… and they couldn’t even Fathom the fact that Jay Z could write for West Coast artists
Jay further cementing his status as GOAT by making this happen
Ikr
I have never understood why people refuse to consider Jay as one of the greatest to ever do it.
Jay is not the GOAT.
@@melvinhhcp3615 I guarantee Jay is better than your rappers favorite rapper.
@@deman19901 Not really. Pac > jay... before & still now.
@@melvinhhcp3615 nah,Jay ie in the GOAT conversation. Pac is not. There's a reason why Jay is the first rapper in the Songwriters HOF. Pac's bars are too basic.
Jay is finally getting the credit after all theses years since Chronic 2001 was dropped in 99. Now ppl realize jay is one of the best writers in the hip hop industry
Its crazy how a lot of ppl from our era ( 80s,90s) don't know that Mr. Carter wrote for a high percentage of Hip Hop artists back then😌🖋. Btw, real Hip Hop fans learn and know the Hip Hop history 😌 bc its important to know just like fans of other musical genres.
Between him and Jada. Not sure who's better
Lupe Fiasco has written for certain legends too. That's why the ghost writing thing is understandable in the industry. Everybody has written for somebody and got help from others
Who else did snoop write for
@@fortunateson2 50 cent as well. He also a ghost writter before he became a rapper.
@@darrenraphael yeah but yes no where on Jada's or Jiggas level.
Jay Z was a beast when he wrote for dre and snoop on Still Dre classic anthem and monster song 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jay had to write Still DRE twice, first version was Jays typical style. So Dre asked him to rewrite it and he came back with that 🔥
Is eminem going to blast dre for having a ghost writter lmao
@@WM-mu8ep no because he never claimed himself a real rapper, he’s alway been a producer that raps same as Kanye
@@WM-mu8epnot even a ghost writer. He got credited
@@traiball7063 that's a rapper lol doing more then 1 thing hes a rapper still
That’s not true snoop said he just handed everyone there verse
Kendrick was my favorite performance. Bruh snapped
Never knew he wrote that classic wow
JayZ wrote the song and Scott Storch made the beat.
and The song it's a Classic because Of Dre and Snoop
They all played a part in making a classic
Scott played the piano on the beat that Dr Dre made *
Scott Storch played the piano. That's it.
Just to be technical, it wasn't a piano, it was a heavily EQ'd and effects based piano tone, played on a Korg Triton or Trinity. Just to be technical.
Jay-z rapping ""I'm not a biter I'm a writer for myself and others" to his haters now making more sense.
Wondering how many artists he wrote verses for?
D,dre, snoop Dogg, jay,z, pac, bigi,em, 50 c, they were world wide famous, extremely famous, and now in Europe nobody knows nothing about those new rapers ,
best parts are between snoop crip walking LIVE at the super bowl
That Big L and Jay Z freestyle on Stretch and Bobito shows off Jay Z lyrical ability, but the flow is what shines Jay bodied it.
I'm a Dr. D.R.E. and Snoop fan - I loved the first and last segments. The dopest tracks 20+ years later; iconic; legendary....STILL.
The song is legendary
My favorite part was also 50! Oh what a show!
Jay wrote the track and Scott Storch (philly) on the keys. Talk about East and West coming together revive the west during a 5 year drought.
I am glad I was around before the streaming era because if you bought the physical album people would know Jay wrote that song because he is credited on the linear notes .
He’s credited on the digital versions too… on all versions. People just never wanted to actually admit to themselves that Dre has ghost writers
@@POOCOMESFROMFOOD it’s been pretty well established since he was with NWA that he doesn’t write his raps, he even said in interviews himself at the time that cube and ren wrote his bars
@@traiball7063 exactly! i just think since he himself has never really mainstreamly come out and gone "yeah people write for me" people just dont belive it, for some reason. its well known i guess people still just have thios idea that they dont like hearing their fav rapper doesnt actuially write the raps lol, like it makles them worse or soemthing? which ill never understand
@@traiball7063 Don’t forget DOC and he from Texas! 💪🏾
@@POOCOMESFROMFOOD They're ignorant then , because every Dre fan knows that Dr Dre has always been a reluctant rapper. He never considered himself a rapper or above rappers. People around him have been insisting that he raps. Even in the second Chronic he only raps on 6 tracks but the songs were arranged in such a way that it appears as if he's in more than 6.
I know people love to hate Jay-Z and call him overrated, a sellout, his music trash compared to Nas, his NFL deal and cheating on Beyonce but we can't deny his importance/success in the genre. Either you think he's a biter or not, you can't deny his skills of writing and lyricism. He is the reason this song is a classic and he wrote this entire song. I know people watching aren't Jay-Z fans. I'm not a fan myself but he still one of the goats and it's up there with Pac, Nas, EM, Rakim & B.I.G.. Hate him or not, he deserves this success. Congratulations to Dre and Snoop. And respect to Jay.
One question.... so not being a fan of him, do you agree hes overrated, sellout and have trash music?
The Still Dre video was 🔥 back in the day
What a masterpiece to hip hop world
Most definitely 50 Cent hanging upside down In Da Club🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Brought me back to Get Rich or Die Tryin Days 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
my favorite part of the haltime show was dre on the piano playing i aint mad at cha i thought the hollogram was gonna come out but oh well
SAME I was so ready for the hologram!
Just seeing them in the stadium together dancing enjoying the music. Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg,50 cents Mary j. And then you have Jay z Beyoncé Kanye James LeBrons Drake it was just a beautiful thing to see all the people 70,000 and more enjoying life. Why can't it be like that everyday we walk outside and everybody has a smile on their face. Go Rams🏈 for winning the super bowl in Inglewood,California. We have so much going on. For the world to see we made it. Love all always will Klique❤️👍🏽🙏
So Easy-E was right all along.
Its about time people start realising the genius that is the writing of Rap joints , the lyricism , the wit , the deep intelligence of it all...
Where's the Jay-Z reference track of Still D.R.E. and the Foxy Brown reference tracks he did too. It'd be funny to hear Jay-Z rapping Still D.R.E.
that song with jay´s voice would be boring
there was a version of jay z rapping still dre
@@ducatarina naaaah shit would sound better probably
@@Countmacula666 Dre and Snoop is bigger legends all day, jay z work with solid material. this song would be solid with him
He said in his interview that he’s happy no one can find the reference thank god 🤣 I bet it’d be fire.
Jay gat all the keys man,Still is one of the greatest hits that put old school on the move back ina di days, that's why going bar to bar with Jay is lyk fucking with a tragid,RIP my nigga tid lock, died on front of his stores
Jay Z = The G.O.A.T 🐐
For me thats old news I know this for 20years.
Back then we bought CDs and read the booklet front to back
Mine was all of it, but definitely got chills with Eminem!. 🔥💙🙌🏼
Dude thanks for this history. I keep learning so much details since that epic half time. The way these guys are tied together is legendary and just tight.
JAY WAS RAPPING IT HOW HE WROTE IT BEFORE HE GAVE IT TO DRE AND SNOOP
50 made a great surprise
I’m confused so hov wrote “still D.R.E “ wow he definitely the goat 🐐 now
Be serious
🤣🤣
Dr Dre is a true producer he gets all the best talent and makes legendary music and lyrics that’s why all the rap scene respect Dre simply because he is why gangster rap exists today. He has the biggest influence in hip hop and rap because he is the reason we all love the art form. Hence why no big rappers ever throw shade his way. You can say what you want but Dr Dre is the original goat !!!!
"I'm not a biter I'm a writer for myself and others"
Facts
"I say a BIG verse am only bigging up my brother, bigging up my borough big enough to do it am that thorough, plus I know my own flow is foolish." 🤣 Hov sick asf
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@merabakerng then he throws it back in ppl face by quoting Big right after “so them rings and things you sing about, bring em out” 🔥🔥🔥🔥 that was genius
And the song just hit a billion views on RUclips 🔥 way to go Jay
Jay Respect 📈
Kanye boppin’ aggressively😂
Po thang, he crazy AF
I absolutely love to hear their admiration and respect for each other, soo amazing
To all my Jay Z fans, I try not to argue with people about Jay Z simply because they start mixing lies with the truth, if this man stole so much from whoever there would be lawsuits and ass-whippings.
The TRUTH will stand where it's at, a LIE with travel until it finds a home.
Just love the fact that this guys give each other support 👌
It's funny ppl go back & forth on who writes their music, meanwhile Snoop has no problem tellin the 🌎 Jay wrote a song for him. If it's dope it's dope. Don't let these other dudes fool you ppl are writing for ppl here & there, the ones that won't have a person write them a song talk about the same 💩 in every gahdamn song 😆
Do you know what’s funny about this topic, is that when this was making waves last year or when ever. Someone said in the comments “it says on the back of the CD cover that jay wrote it, I thought everyone knew this?”
Jay wrote this song so he must know every lyric
Man Im from the South of Africa, I told my brother while listening to hip hop that we are listening to geniuses.
Jay was cripped out
LOL!!
I can’t except that he wrote that song, it just fuccs up my whole perspective
I mean.. he did write the song
I found out years later my favorite Rapper wrote that song...JAY-Z IS THE BEST.
IM DUKE NUKUM GO LISTEN TO ME
Jay z made the song facts still Dre
Hov is that boy!
This video single handedly proves that East Coast West Coast beef is manufactured by the labels to generate interest. Behind the scenes half of Dre's catalogue was created by artist, musicians and writers from the East Coast.
Almost everything you have been told is a lie in this world.
The flow in Still Dre is very similar to Hard Knock Life, another dope song
Well he wrote it
Jay Z is such a great writer. "STILL" is world class beat. Senegal, West Africa.
Once you find out Jay Z wrote “still Dre” and listen to the flow and lyrics all you can hear is Jay Z From then on Lol
Facts
“I’ll bring the fire till you soakin in your seat” That’s a trademark Jay-a delivery.
Damn mary tho
Bruh, ain’t no way she’s in her 50s. She was looking delicious.
0:19 one of the best crip walks I have seen on a big stage
Dre will get presented with lyrics AND beats and be like I'm glad we made this track together.
Well Yeah… because he then produces the track.. not sure if you know how that works lol
@@POOCOMESFROMFOOD Dre will mix down the record and throw some credits up, but he knows most people think it's all him.
