Classic? That word gets thrown around way too much. It was a cool song, but the raps wasn't nothin special at all, and the beat is just an interpolation. Its not bad but its far from classic.

This was like an end to an era after this

yup, if you looked at a timetable you'd see that after this came the west vibe dissappeared

It's really good. I think it's weird how Snoop advertises "Snoop Dogg Clothing" in it.

Now back to the lecture at hand
Perfection is expected and I'm feelin that demand
Los Ang, broad day gunnin
That ain't no earthquake it's just Dre comin
If this shit ain't played, the party ain't bumpin
If I don't show up, the ho's ain't fuckin
Cali sunshine, come visit
Just don't stop at stop signs with bullet holes in it
All Star league, you writin Benjamins
I handles my business, FUCK fake niggas
I sell game a quarter million a track
Snoop and the good Doc back with a brand new sack

My fav part of that track...I was bangin' this hard in 01 and 02 - Dre really killed it beatwise and lyricwise...wish Detox could sound like this...

Great song, but it's not on the level of other songs by these two. It's not a classic.

Co-sign, it sounded a bit rushed, like it was trying hard to be G Thang part 2 - it sampled the same song as that did, the Leon Haywood joint, so to me it felt like they kind of put it together real quick... though the rhymes were dope

Also the thing that made G Thang and The Chronic hot was that it sounded old and smoked out like 70s tracks because of the sampling and any replaying was keeping with that vibe - with The Wash the replaying sounded too clean and digital and crisp in my opinion - I like Dre's newer beats where shit is mad sharp and clear, but for that sample they got replayed it didn't have the right feel

Absolutely a classic.  This song is in my top 10 made after the Year 2000.  They should have pushed this song, its got a Nuthin But A G Thang (Part 2) vibe to it.

Love that Dr.Dre's verse. Kills me everytime.
It's funky enough!

i love this song but to me it doesnt hold wait against true classic cuts like Still Dre, Nuthin But a G Thang and Gin & Juice. That soundtrack had some dope tracks like Holla, Truck Volume etc. Wish Dre would do more projects like that where he doesnt have worry about the soundtrack being a certified classic and he can just make good music...
