Still D.R.E ft. Snoop Dogg Appreciation Thread

[Westcoastfanatic]

Nice track, but it didn't make me go      like when I first heard "What's The Difference".

[woods]

I remember I was in Belmarsh Prison when this first came out and Westwood played it 3 full times on the trot

[ToOoOoN!!!]

i heard that track to many times lol i'm not hating (i love the track)

[Dane]

Not quite Westcoast with Jay-z writing it.

But still lovin it....

[Blacktea]

that song started gettin me into westcoast hip hop and everythin

[c-dogg]

Absolute classic track, funny enough i was banging it a few days ago on my way to work. Cant believe its been 10 years. I was in the later years of high school when the album dropped.

I used to tape Tim Westwoods radio show on Friday nights at midnight on BBC Radio, i remember he said he was gonna premiere Still D.R.E on his show so instead of going to sleep and listening to the recording the next day i stayed awake and waited.

When Dre and Snoop finally came on Westwood just went absolutely nuts on it. Halfway through the song his trademark explosion effect would disrupt the track and he'd start it again from the beginning. No joke he done this for about 45 minutes and must have repeated the track at least 9 times!!!

I still have the tape of his show back home, the first side is nothing but Still D.R.E

Anyone else from the UK remember this?

the Crooked I version on Young Boss 1 is better though

No fuckin' way, the original is a classic that can't be touched.

Lol, look who posted it, though.

there is one person who doesnt get much props and thats SCOTT STORCH, he is the one who actually played and came up with STILL DRE chords......another production dr dre gets too much credit for

If Still Dre had been a solely Storch produced joint it would've been the same as Let's Ride - Close but no cigar.

[Blasphemy]

I remember this song fuckin' caught me off guard like a motherfucker. Summer '99 I was watching BET Rap City and all of a sudden "Still D.R.E." comes on and this was before the internet was widespread, I didn't use it that much during that time, so I had no idea Dre was dropping an album and The Source was my only outlet for Hip Hop info and they never mentioned it. But yeah I was FUCKING BLOWN AWAY from the song and video. CLASSIC in every sense of the word.

the source didn't even give it 5 mics, initially.

Yeah, but the Source is a Piece of shit, its always had a East Coast Slant, West Coast Albums never got 5 Mics Initially, it always had 2 be some Retrospect. Wasn't Amerikkka's Most Wanted the only west coast album to earn a 5 Mics from the getgo? Shit had East Coast production, with a West Coast Lyrics, talking about some harsh shit.
