Dre did not do jack for the anniversary of 2001, not even a breakdown interview.2001 might be the first Dre project that never got remixes/b-sides released? (Hittmans extended outro on 'Next Episode' video was the only extra bit we got and "Bad Guys Always Die" was tailored for the Wild Wild West movie). We did get an instrumental version though, which DJs across the world mixed to death.This demo tape is a surprise, along with Crips mix the only real celebration for such a sonic masterpiece.
^^Yep, been a while since i watched the 2001 vids.. i can clearly hear the Next Episode Up In Smoke outro instrumental whistling in my head now.^2001 session tracks proably did spill over to other projects, that's how great the creative zone Dre and co were in at the time.If that's the case and as perfect as the 'come-back' album turned out to be, Dre could of released his first double classic album.But no remixes were released! Though we did get a sequel to The Watcher in 2002 and a Dre/Snoop demo version? of part 2 on a mixtape in 2003.It would of been the singles that got one or more remix versions, if Dre had followed his prevous Ruthless/Deathrow formula.

Dope intro by Snoop but then Dre killed Snoop on the verse... off the top of my head not sure (cause I don't fucc with Jay-Z) if that's the same Dre verse from the Jay-Z track... anyway, dope shit

I just went against my religion and peeped Jay-Z Blueprint 2 album....... and yes, that Dre verse is the same as the one from the Jay-Z album. That Dre verse is killer, he murderes Jay (which isn't hard) and Rakim (which is hard) on that track. Dre never brags about his mic skills, and of course he has ghostwriters, but I track like this proves that he can more than hold his own on the mic... In fact, imagine if all Dre's lyrics were actually written by him--there would be no way you wouldn't put him as a Top 10 MC.Banging joint... sad I can't listen to it more

interesting thing i heard came from knoc. when dre and quik was trying to record their first collaboration "put it on me"... dre asked knoc to write his lyircs and warned him "dont let this nigga rip me, dont make me sound im lesser, write something ca match quik's cold and clever style, thats a chance for me to beat him in his own style"dre is a cruel monster in the game.
