Ironically though, none of the performers on the song actually contributed writing credits.
Dre beat ever, while I don’t know whether I agree with that I could concede it’s in his top three best songs ever. Genius edits suggest it’s considered the best Dr. Still D.R.E is a song any self-respecting hip-hop fan will have listened to and very good reason: like The Watcher it bangs. Dre and Snoop both seem to have upped their game this album too with great verses being given by both of them for the song. Devin ’s voice grates on me a little but he supplied a good enough verse. Dre, Devin the Dude and Snoop Dogg both supplying verses with Devin the Dude singing the hook. Fuck You is a classic sex rap song, with Dr. Following The Watcher is track three Fuck You. A great beat and a hook sung by Eminem and Knock-Turnal, The Watcher remains to this day one of my favourite Dre songs.
At the time people had started saying Dre was shook and so left out of fear, but as he points out it isn’t a great way to live not knowing when someone’s going to come and try to kill you and admits “I ain’t a thug/ How much 2Pac in you you got?”. The Watcher deals with Dre lamenting about his move from the hood into a new, swanky house following constant death threats he was receiving. The Watcher has since gone on to be a very popular hip hop song that never gets old in the community of course and for very good reason it bangs. The first track after the very straightforward intro is The Watcher.
Hittman ’s involvement was reminiscent of The Chronic being used to feature lots of Snoop Dogg to put him on the map. Released on November 16th, 1999 under the Aftermath and Interscope labels, it retained the West Coast hip hop and G-funk influences while being much more refined and featuring a bigger variety of hip hop artists most notable of those on the album is Hittman who featured in ten songs from the album.
