Was "Keep Their Heads Ringin" Dre's greatest lyrical performance?

[TraceOneInfinite]

Classic Westcoast hip-hop........   but with East Coast style lyrics, wonder who wrote this track for Dre.  It was like the only track he did in like 3 years, one of only 2 tracks in 6 years if you count "Been Their Done That" era.

J. Flexx apparently, but I think his best is Been There Done That.

I think J. Flexx only helped in producin the track but not writing the lyrics...

...and "Been There Done" That was a cool concept and everything, but I don't think his flow was as ill, and he was starting to get too far into that Godfather, materialistic theme he used for "Zoom" with LL and his work with the Firm.

J. Flexx is known for being a ghost writer though, he didn't start producing till later, even then his productions are still rather boring. Nothing Dre-ish. If it wasn't J. Flexx, it was Druama. J. Flexx was known for writing California Love (Dre's part) and Natural Born Killaz, and it kind of sounds like his verse.

Definitely one of his best tracks, not only from the lyrically side. IMO 95-97 were the best years of Dre (The Firm project, Been There, Done That, Kepp Their Heads Ringin). Too bad he don´t followed this mafia influenced style...

[The Real Kilo2]

Oh and J. Flexx did write Been There Done That. One of his best works.

I prefered Sam Sneed's production to Flexx's, although Flexx was a dope ghostwriter I think Sneed's production fit in a bit better with Dre's

Indeed. I think J. Flexx just did ghost writing at the time, and later Barney Rubble started helping him produce.

NaS wrote "who been there done that"

Positive? J. Flexx has taken credit for it. Notice, why he did a response track called Who Been There Who Done That On Death Row's greatest hits.

that's something I never heard before, that Nas wrote "Been There Done That".  It does sound alot like a Nas written verse, but do you have any source, any proof?
