Still J.A.Y.-Zee

[SheriffFatman]

I’ve always absolutely loved Still DRE by Dr Dre & Snoop Dogg, such a powerful, blistering response to the people who had started to question whether Dre was a one album wonder. It was kind of my gateway into hip-hop, a really big influence on my musical taste.

Now I’ve read an NME article that says the entire lyrics were written by Jay-Z. I feel slightly cheated knowing that Dre didn’t write any of it, I guess it’s a bit like Barry Manilow fans discovering he didn’t write I Write The Songs.

“Woke up in the AM, composed a beat
Then got someone else to write some words for me” 😐

Your disappointment is justified. But personally I've always considered Dre as a producer first, and performer second, so it sort of makes sense to me.
