i think that most people who are hating @ dre at the moment are stuck in the past. they need to realize that dre is a whole different peroson now. what do u expect ? that hes gonna do a nother nuthing but a g thang song and video ?, or a next next episode one with all the g´s(dogg pound etc) in it ?? ...its 2011 and honestly people dont want thinks like that anymore....what sells is that pop shit, for example with eminem or rihanna etc.of course there is his hardcore straight gangsta fanbase, but we are so few that it makes no sense to create an cd that we love, another chronic 2001 with dpg, X, hitman, knoc etc etc ...that will never happen again.
It's actually a dope video. Dre is reflecting back on his career, remembering the good ole' days when he was a dynamic, innovative artist, but now he's frustrated because he knows he's washed up and doesn't have it anymore. Some people take to the bottle and drink away the pain, but Dre deals with the pain by driving really recklessly fast, yo! So he gets in a car crash and dies. Fast forward "years later" and Eminem shows up and starts rapping to Dre about how much Dre means to him (Em is such a sweetheart, wouldn't you say?). Meanwhile, Dre is stillborn in one of those full-body-submersed-in-liquid life support units ala Luke Skywalker at the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back. Oh, and Em is still rapping to Dre about how much he means to him because Eminem just loooves Dre so much. Throughout all this, a female ghost floats in the air and sings about how she's going to lose her mind. But don't fret! Dre comes back to life via futuristic technology thanks to some really skilled doctors even though now he looks more like the Six Million Dollar Man, bionically reinvigorated. Even so, he's still haunted by his past accomplishments, meaning he's come full circle but likewise has made peace with it. We can see this because he goes to visit Eazy's grave as the sun sets during Golden Hour (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_hour_(photography)). He smiles peacefully.

I don't think that will be his main single though... just a warm-up.

I liked it. Skylar Grey is supposed to be the spirit of hip-hop. Not too complicated folks.Also, some of it reminds me of 50 Cent's Get Up video, near the end of it he find both Dre & Em locked up in frozen units.
The video is dope as fuck
