Cool video 8)
-
low budget ai video which doesnt fit to the song.
song is 10/10
video is 1/10
-
Dope! Best song of the album.
-
Good video. Prefer it to the mixdown on the album.
-
Dave Meyers delivered a trippy video.
Fitting for the song and relased on 420

Dope song and video
-
Finally they released a video, I like it - Creative use of AI here and there. I don't smoke but can relate to it nonetheless. Applause for that video Snoop Dogg! Dre's cameo also a classic scene.
-
too much AI on it...
-
decent video but also kinda corny
kinda symbolizes the album
-
Seems like the mix on this is even better than the album version (and this song was already the best mixed of the album).
-
Honestly, I forgot that this album even exists.

Word… I enjoyed the first listen through and then never went back to the album. If Dre wanted to do a music video he should’ve done one to a few of the bangers he had on the Compton album. Those tracks were way more worthy of a video than this. Why is Dre pushing this album but didn’t push the Compton album?
I personally don’t enjoy AI videos. I’m not sure if it’s just me because my taste are so retro and ol school. But I don’t like it.
And to compare why not watch Tom Petty’s o.g version of it, I wasn’t personally a fan of that type of music and video but objectively speaking the shit was a masterpiece. How come we can’t have nice things in 2025??
Tom Petty’s o.g video puts this remake to shame
…btw, Im don’t really like green screen either.

Its the same mix

Its the same mix
Thought the drums were more slapping…could be wrong
-
Video getting positive reception.
4M views in 3 days is not bad

Labels pay for views...
Snoop is done musically.

If it's like 200k views, people would say it's disappointing, doing good numbers, then it's paid for ...🤣🤣

Gotta admit I'm stunned that anybody on this board likes this song. This kinda thing is some other lame pop-rappers would do, not Dr. Dre. Hearing something like this on a current day Snoop Dogg album, sure. To even work on this song, much less put it on an album is below Dre. And then to release it as a single and appear in the video, phew. I guess they think that this is what will get the album more "mainstream" attention, but I just think it's super corny. And Jelly Roll is lame. The rap Jelly Roll was cool.
On the other hand, I thought the other semi-obvious attempt at a pop-rock crossover - "Another Part of Me" is pretty great. One of my favorites on the album, along with "Outta Da Blue" which apparently isn't well liked on here, haha.

another part of me was worse lol .. most unorganized, terribly structured dre song ever made
when outa da blue dropped i was depressed n knew the album was doomed
then the album dropped and outa da blue ended up bein one of the best songs on there
:snoop:

Why? He's the one that kick started this pop rap ballad BS with I need a Doctor

It's not unorganized or terribly structured. Sure, it's not verse, chorus, verse or whatever you want. Not everything has to be done a certain way. Not being a dick, but you make music right? Don't you get tired of doing the same thing over and over? Maybe not, idk. I know a lot of people on here would prefer all these artists make music circa 1993 and never change. And I'm not saying I like most of the decisions Dre and especially Snoop make musically. Shit, since Tha Blue Carpet Treatment, Snoop's music has been almost uniformly ass. I didn't expect to think "Another Part of Me" would be a good record. While I'm a big fan of The Police I think "Message In A Bottle" is super-overplayed and didn't think Dre could do anything original with it. I was wrong. Was it the kinda thing I wanted or expected from these guys in 2024? No. But I'd rather be pleasantly surprised by these guys doing what they want rather than trying to make old fans happy with stuff that their heart isn't into. Also, the old fans wouldn't be happy either way.

I'll do something here most people on the internet don't do and admit you got me on that one. I don't know if he "kickstarted" the pop-rap ballad, as I think LL Cool J started that in the '80s with "I Need Love" but yeah I get your point.
I also think "I Need a Doctor" is just a better record than this Snoop weed record. Quite a few artists have done odes to weed that come off way better and aren't so on the nose. The topic of the song just comes off so obvious and lame. It coulda been done better

bro i get it .. not everything has to follow a specific formula and off the cuff music is great. this just didn't sound like that.. it sounded like a contrived effort to be different, and came off to me as more of a mess than anything
like they just recorded a bunch of shit they thought sounded dope n randomly glued it together wit no rhyme or reason
but if u enjoyed it, more power to u fam
