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

[Raphael]

his flow was sick!

I thought J Flexx wasn't around when "Been There, Done That" was done because Dre had a different team when he left Death Row? And I thought the diss track had a similar name because it was aimed at Dre and that had been Dre's last big single around the time the diss came out

Nah, he tried moving Flexx over to Aftermath, but couldn't break him out of his contract with Death Row. So Druama became Dre's ghost writer for the rest of his shit.

My favourite Dre track. Straight up classic, been a while since i bumped this.

[BOX5 the best poster on this site yell]

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.

it's a funny song,cause it's dope as fucc,yet it has some of the waccest lyrics in hip hop,but you had to bump this shit,that beat was sicc yell

None of the lyrics are wack.  I thought that line.. "plenty of ass so call me an asstronaut" was a dope line, he kept flippin metaphors East Coast style.

[Larrabee]

J-Flexx wrote Dre's lyrics and Sam Sneed co-produced the beat.

I remember that I have two versions of this track, the only difference being like maybe 4 lines are changed in it, I think one version mentions Colgate and the other doesn't

I think you got the video version, the single version, and then there's like two different remixes of the shit which are extended. Also Larrabee, I think you got it right. If I could prop you I would.

Co-sign, it was wall to wall quotable lines, and a lot of multi-syllable stuff in there

the one on the Death Row Greatest Hits has the "I use Crest so there ain't know cavity creeps in my grill", was changed to "keeping it real enables me to make another meal"

Interesting. I was just gonna make a post about how wack some of the lyrics in this song are...


"In a party I go for your neck so call me Blackula"

"But get popped like a pimple, so call me Clearasil"

"The enforcer, music floats like a flyin saucer"

"With grooves so funky, they come with a Speed Stick"

"I bring terror like Stephen King"

"A black Casanova, runnin niggaz over like Christine"

"I get plenty of ass, so call me an ass-tronaut"

"But I smoke him like grass, just like Cheech and Chong"

"Without a care, runnin shit as if I was a mayor"

"Step on stage and get faded just like a flat top"

"Dre came to wax you so, just call me Mop N Glow"


^ I love Dre (no homo) but none of you will ever convince me those lines are good.

[illchicano]

I agree, its like J-Flexx was trying to be lyrical and use dope metaphors but it just came out very wack. The beat and Dre's ill flow and delivery is what made this a classic song, not the lyrics

It all sounds dope to me... Maybe if it wasn't Dre, and maybe if the beat wasn't so bangin, and the video, and the time period and everything else... maybe then I'd have a different perspective.... other than that, they are all ill metaphors to me.
