Was "Keep Their Heads Ringin" Dre's greatest lyrical performance?

[TraceOneInfinite Flat Earther 96']

this song was produced by sam sneed along with natural born killas along with ofcourse recognize. check youtube and see his interviews he says it flat out. dope song for sure. beat is ill.

Interesting..... I just realized there was a video for the "U Betta Recognize" track wit Dre in the video... nice video from back in the day, they just keep it real, even the girl in the video is actually dissin Sam Sneed, so much better than that overdone shit that's out today.

Sam Sneed produced Natural Born Killaz? Is that true?

[Dre-Day]

I agree, its like J-Flexx was trying to be lyrical and use dope metaphors but it just came out very wack. The beat and Dre's ill flow and delivery is what made this a classic song, not the lyrics

exactly, it's a party track after all, and that's what dre was making at that time  so i agree.

not sure what other track i would choose as dre's best lyrical performance, but probably a track that's co-written by the D.O.C. , Ice Cube or Eminem.

One of Dre's greaest songs, still in steady rotation for me

[Raphael]

"I get plenty of ass, so call me an ass-tronaut"

"But I smoke him like grass, just like Cheech and Chong"

yah those were wack.

[dubscheisty]

If not J Flexx definitely sam sneed. 

[daWappla]

"Your chances of jacking me are slim G, cause I rock from summer till Santa comes down the chimney."

That´s the best line in thw whole song.

RBX had left Death Row by 1995. Lol.

[HEC]

I prefer Flexx when hes trying to kick reality raps like on the Gang Related and Gridlock'd soundtrack he comes off very dope, rather than those punchlines he tried to write

[Doggystylin]

the speed stick line is sick, i don't know what you're talking about

[UCC]

Interesting. I was just gonna make a post about how wack some of the lyrics in this song are...


"In a party I go for your neck so call me Blackula"

"But get popped like a pimple, so call me Clearasil"

"The enforcer, music floats like a flyin saucer"

"With grooves so funky, they come with a Speed Stick"

"I bring terror like Stephen King"

"A black Casanova, runnin niggaz over like Christine"

"I get plenty of ass, so call me an ass-tronaut"

"But I smoke him like grass, just like Cheech and Chong"

"Without a care, runnin shit as if I was a mayor"

"Step on stage and get faded just like a flat top"

"Dre came to wax you so, just call me Mop N Glow"


^ I love Dre (no homo) but none of you will ever convince me those lines are good.

Those are all dope, especially the Stephen King - Christine reference, that's mad dope to drop that in there

It all sounds dope to me... Maybe if it wasn't Dre, and maybe if the beat wasn't so bangin, and the video, and the time period and everything else... maybe then I'd have a different perspective.... other than that, they are all ill metaphors to me.

these lines look pretty wack when you actually see them LOL

maybe he should have gotten Kurupt to write him some MC shit

my favorite is Forgot About Dre

[Dre-Day]

Dr.Dre and mr.Ski is dope too

I agree with you. I mean the beat is dope and I bump this all the time but lrics are just witty, but not the kind of lyrics you can just coast to...
IMO Dre's last verse in Forgot about Dre is one of the best...I find it really show's his hunger and re-affirming himself and just showing ppl who's the boss. chek this out:
If it was up to me
You muthafuckas would stop comin up to me
Wit your hands out lookin up to me
Like you want somethin free
When my last cd was out you wasn't bumpin me
But now that I got this little company
Everybody wanna come to me like it was some disease
But you won't get a crumb from me
Cause I'm from the streets of Compton
I told em all
All them little gangstas
Who you think helped mold 'em all
Now you wanna run around and talk about guns
Like I ain't got none
What you think I sold 'em all
Cause I stay well off
Now all I get is hate mail all day sayin Dre fell off
What cause I been in the lab wit a pen and a pad
Tryna get this damn label off
I ain't havin that
This is the millenium of Aftermath
It ain't gonna be nothin after that
So give me one more platinum plaque and fuck rap
You can have it back
So where's all the mad rappers at
It's like a jungle in this habitat
But all you savage cats
Knew that I was strapped wit gats
When you were cuddled wit cabbage patch


Classic.
