Who wrote "Keep The Heads Ringin" for Dre? That shit was fire!!
« on: September 20, 2013, 04:50:49 PM »
Track amazed me when it came out and still amazes me to this day.  Just a brilliant track anyway you look at it, and the lyrics were so clever.  Without searching for it or looking it up I would say it sounds a little like the shit RBX writes?  But I don't think Dre was down with RBX at the time, in fact I think they were beefin?  Whoever wrote that track for Dre is absolutely brilliant.  Those metaphors destroy anything that niccaz on the East Coast were doin at the time, and that beat is a classic certified West Coast banger.

I think J Flexx wrote it...I always thought the lyrics were a little corny and the beat was fire but to each his own

J Flexx was a really talented writer.  He also wrote "Lady Heroine", right?  Any other classics he might of written?

"Lady Heroine" is another display of his talents as a writer.  They kind of messed up with the version of the song that came out on Gridlocked, but that alternate version that's floating out there is fire.

Basically, J. Flexx wrote the lyrics, Sam Sneed produced the beat and sold it to Dre for 20000$, so he can tweak it a little bit, mix it and go platinum plus :)

Dre's best writers to me were Snoop, Eminem and Drauma.

If that's what you think, then so be it - the truth is Sam produced the OG version and sold it to Dre for 20k :)

There's a reason why i put the smiley in my post. Where did you read that Dre gave Sam Sneed 20k for the beat though?

I've heard it from a person close to Sam Sneed and his camp - he's a good source for all kinds of information regarding that whole Death Row timeline ;)

Dre's metaphors are metaphives to Infinite
