Title: Dre's Verse On "Imagine"
Post by: Lunatic on November 11, 2006, 06:08:38 PM
damn, it's pretty dope. Doubt he wrote it, and it doesn't exactly sound like snoop's style of writing either. I doubt it, but the style of writing is VERY familiar to Knoc-Turn'Al's. One listen to Knoc's "Your Only Son" and you'll see what I'm talking about. Anyone else have any ideas on who wrote it?

perhaps. I do no that both Knoc & D.O.C. have done their fare share of writing for Dre, so both are strong possibilities.

Well, given the nature of the song there is a grip of name dropping. Maybe Game? LOL

Maybe Busta. Wasn't this song orginally with him?

no clue about whether or not this song was with busta, but I'll give you that it does somewhat sound like Busta's songwriting. Lol, so far were at Knoc, D.O.C., & Busta. Doubt it was Game.

Nah, Dre don't fuck with that nigga no more.

I doubt it's DOC, either...Rik is probably right, it's gotta be Busta if anyone.  Then again, there's a chance Dre himself wrote it.

how do you know this? Dre never said he ain't fucking with knoc no more. They haven't worked together in what? 2 years or so (tops?). Dre went a while without working with Snoop. And Knoc mentions Dre is Big Syke's "Can't Do It Better (recent)" track, so I'm not so sure about Dre not fuckin' with him no more.

I think we can count out Snoop, because when the joint was Busta's, Dre already had his verse down. I'm guessing Busta wrote it, could be Eminem too, but I doubt that.

^Rik is right...it sounds more like Busta's lyrics, I can imagine his voice spittin' those words... 8)

I'd guess it's Busta Rhymes.. since Imagine was for Big Bang originally and featured Busta.

wasnt it mentioned somewhere that dre wrote the verse on imagine himself?  and btw DOC co-wrote snoops verses on that that shit, so he could have done that here too? dunno, no matter what they both spit well on the track 8)

If you actually focus on the rhymes and don't get blown away by the beat, they are WHACK.

Dre voice sounds different.

The rhyming is average nothing stands out. Dre proably wrote that shit.

D.O.C should of never approved it and let Dre put that out as the final version.
