The Chronic was recently re-released “as Dre originally wanted,” which included a second CD of unreleased joints. Somehow, they forgot to include this B-Side from the “Dre Day” single. Although I’m all about Dre and Doggystyle, I must admit I never really got into Warren G or the Dogg Pound. That might have to change, though, at least in the case of DPG. Daz and Kurupt ride this beat better than pretty much any other Death Row inmate could, which is probably why Snoop is in the background looking like he pissed himself. This G-Funk period was Dre at his best, in my opinion; when he was trying to move a party instead of making black mafia don music. The guitars, snatched from JB’s “Funky President,” are minimal but add a lot of skip to the beat. And that attention to detail is what Dre 2010 seems to be missing.
A new Eminem joint with Dre on the boards leaked today, but I’d rather listen to this shit…
