Cool.
Congratulations on the very first "Vault"-entry.

['Illicit']

does that mean Dre didnt write one single fuckin song? or is it "all inclusive"  i mean i know jay-z wrote Still Dre for him but dang, that seems weird.  

[Hittman]

I'm Glad Dr Dre Didn't Write Any Of The Songs - It Would Fuck The Album Up.  

[Murrow]

I read the "2001" booklet a billion times, I've studied that thing and I think I'm pretty right with what everything's there.

Dr. Dre Played The Trumpet On "The Watcher"

[KVB]

2.  The Watcher
Written By Eminem

Ha ha. No, he didn't. He could have partly written it, but he didn't write this song by himself. The infamous "N***a" is used 10 times on "The Watcher". Eminem has said that this word is not in his dictionary. Besides, the lyrics were pretty wack, Eminem writes much better lyrics. I also got "Dr. Dre 2001", and I don't see writing credits on any song in the booklet. In addition, Eminem can't relate to gangsters. I hope you agree, if you don't, I could give you an example:

Eminem written: ?

"Niggaz aim mainly at niggaz they can't be
But niggaz can't hit niggaz they can't see"

No.


Anyways, props to you... I just had to correct you on that one, peace.

[bLaDe]

^^ well i guess he wrote it for DRE, who is black, and he raps it, so it should sound like its coming from him...peace

[Don Seer]

I'd like to know if Snoop wrote his parts of Still Dre.

The Watcher, thats a odd one.. parts could be knoc too but it is heavily eminem.

[Murrow]

Please believe Eminem wrote "The Watcher."  It's definetly his style, especially that part, "I ain't a thug, how much 2Pac in you got.  I ain't no bitch niether, it's either my life or your life, cause I ain't leavin, I like breathin."  Dre gives concepts, and Em wrote it.  Plus that who, "Thangs just ain't the same for gangstas" blah blah.  Em also freestyled a very similar version on this freestyle I have.

Dr. Dre Played The Trumpet On "The Watcher"

Where you heard that?
It's not in the credits.

[Suga Foot]

When Mellowman used to post on the board, he had a trivia question, and it was "On What song did Dr. Dre personally play the trumpet on?" I guessed "The Watcher" and he said that was correct.

[Jome]

Cool, he oughta know it, but it's strange that it doesn't say so in the booklet. Dre likes getting credit.
