Post by: Machiavelli on December 11, 2004, 03:47:29 PM: Yeah it was Dres brother. He was shot in the neck near a liquor store in Compton like before Chronic came out.(I don't know why he didn't make this song on the Chronic CD.

Post by: _That_Cracka_J on December 11, 2004, 04:00:07 PM: From the way Dre makes the song sound like, it was like a year or two before because he says, "I thought I learned from Eazy, but now I'm goin' through it with you." He definitely makes it sound like he shoulda learned his lesson with Eazy-E, but Eazy-E died AFTER his brother got shot...

Thats true, I didnt think about that

On the "VH1 Behind the Music" story about Dr. Dre, Dre said his brother went to the liquor store and some dudes was tryna start somethin with him, he tryed to play it off and walk away so they got out and jumped him. And he was a real skinny dude so they cracked some bones or somethin...

Most likely what happend is they asked him "where you from" and he probably said "man fuck yall" then it went on from there

Post by: Xan.G on December 12, 2004, 09:44:28 AM: yeeah, i seen that vh1 show, warren g (his step bro) was saying when it happed dre hardly showed any emotion & shiit, he dealt with it real well, so i guess when he recorded that song the floodgates opened. some real heartfelt shiit he's rappin about.

did he actually write them lyrics dose anyone know??
Title: Re: Dr Dre the message
Post by: skjesp on December 12, 2004, 11:18:59 AM: Hi

I did a search and found this:

"His brother got killed in a fight while Dre was on tour with N.W.A "My brother was my best friend. He was three years younger than me." Dre tells of being on the road when he received a phone call with the bad news. "You never forget that."
He started off as a D.J for parties as a teenager, and soon earned himself a spot in the "Eve After Dark" club, where he would play keyboards and sing."

So that still doesn't make sense why Dre says "I thought I learned from Eazy, but now I'm goin' through it with you"...should be the other way around since his brother died BEFORE Eazy...

That song was heartfelt (although he didn't wrote it LOL) dope song.
Title: Re: Dr Dre the message
Post by: SGV on December 13, 2004, 12:31:05 PM: It was heartfelt...and? If it was truely heartfelt, Dre should've wrote it himself. Fuck how wack it comes out. Express your feelings in your own words and own way, thats heartfelt.

True he should have wrote that shit himself, the thing is that dre is no Jay-z. I still think it's a good record
