The song features Eminem delivering a verse and serves as a reminder of Dr. Dre’s influence and impact on the hip-hop scene.

But nothing comes out when they move their lips
Just a bunch of gibberish
And mother****ers act like they forgot about Dre”

The song’s production, handled by Dr. Dre himself, features a catchy beat and samples from David McCallum’s “The Edge.” The track received critical acclaim for its hard-hitting sound and witty lyrics.

The music video, directed by Dr. Dre and Philip G. Atwell, complements the song’s theme and features appearances by both Dr. Dre and Eminem.

“Forgot About Dre” won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 2001, and it remains a standout track in Dr. Dre’s discography. The song’s impact extends beyond its release, as it continues to be celebrated as a classic in hip-hop history.
