RTB Rewind: Eazy-E Responds to Dr. Dre's 'The Chronic'

RTB Rewind: Eazy-E Responds to Dr. Dre's 'The Chronic'

Published Thu, October 19, 2023 at 10:50 AM EDT

On Oct. 19, 1993 Eazy-E dropped one of the best diss records of all-time, "Real Muthaphuckkin G's."

The track was a response to Dr. Dre's massive hit album, 1992's The Chronic and was featured on Eazy's eight-track EP, It's On (Dr. Dre) 187 Killa. On the song, Eazy-E comically takes aim at Dr. Dre following Dre and Snoop Dogg's scathing diss on The Chronic's "Dre De." Eazy-E wastes no time going in on his former N.W.A. counterpart, rhyming: "I never met an OG who never did shit wrong/Try and diss Eazy-E now nigga it's on," he rhymes before declaring Dre "ain't worth a food stamp."

The project peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and went double platinum. Tragically, Eazy died due to complications from AIDS just two years later, in 1995. Thankfully, by that time, he and Dre had already made amends.

“We would probably be working together right now," Dr. Dre told The Hollywood Reporter in 2015 of Eazy's untimely death. "[We would probably be] arguing about the work, as we did back in the past. It’s like, every project, we had some little argument about what the project should be creatively, and I would say we would probably still be doing that, but at the same time getting the work done and probably doing something amazing.”
