Imagine I Need A Doctor Being done by Snoop & Dre

[D-Nice]

The more I listen to this song, the more I wonder how I would be accepted if it was done by Snoop. Obviously not the same beat, hook, lyrics, etc but concept wise I am sure Snoop felt the same way about Dre as well. I just find it funny that the buzz single has Snoop and the official single is with Eminem. I get the acclaim and everything Em has right now.

It's 2011 nobody cares about snoop

[Gamestarr]

would be dope but as you mention with a different hook, beat, everything!

Eminem has been ferociously hated on since Recovery did so well last summer.

It's the same as a few years ago when Lil' Wayne first became the biggest, most hyped up artist.

But that song already happened on "Kush" & people liked it until he did this last song, then for some odd reason one song changed their opinion of another lol.

True, and by no means am I hating on the lyrics or the song Em and Dre did. I'm one of the few that actually likes the track, I was just speaking on the song and the lyrics itself. Would it come off more like begging from Snoop? I mean he has reached out to Dre many times. Just a observation

The thing is that very few rappers make really personal records. Most hip-hop records are about money, ho's, smoking dope and generally being a gangsta. I think this is a key ingredient to Eminems massive succes that is often overlooked. His records are intensely personal. Yes, he's critized for always rapping about his mother, his ex-wife, his daughters, his addiction, etc. but a lot of people connect with those emotional records in a much deeper way than your regular gangsta record.

Bottom line: Eminem can get away with rapping about how much Dre means to him, because that's his style. I'm not sure if Snoop could pull it off. It's not his style.

Game has done a few songs like that too, like Doctor's Advocate, Like Father Like Son, Start From Scratch and most notably IMO: Lost.

i don't think Snoop could do it as good as Eminem.

yeah and I don't think Snoop would do it in the first place, he probably wouldn't admit to needing Dre

[Black Excellence]

[Lunatic]

I like the record as is. I know I'm the minority there. I know why people hate it though. Although I like it as a song, I don't like it in the sense of

1) It's not what I wanna hear from Dr. Dre
2) It's not good enough for the Detox hype (flavor of the month shit)

But strip all that away, it's a good record.

Eminem is bigger now than ever before; true story. Snoop Dogg is a walking brand for sure as well.

[J$crILLa]

that would be cool...

Em n Dre did iight tho....

i wish Em woulda stayed with his relapse flow... recovery flow is just not as nice

[dnjp4life]

The track wouldn't work as well with Snoop because Eminem is the one who has been working more intensely with Dre over the past few years and providing him with inspiration and the motivation to get on with the Detox project.

It would sound really awkward to hear Snoop rap about Dre like that come to think of it.  Wouldn't suit his style at all.

[snoop]

i think it would have been cool if they set it up like this:

verse 1: snoop
verse 2: eminem
verse 3: dre

Speaking of Snoop, I wonder how he feels since Dre says in his verse "All I need is him (Eminem)!".
