Dr. Dre called in Eminem for "Forgot About Dre", the second single from 2001, and when it hit on January 29, 2000, it landed like a rebuttal. Death Row had been taking shots at Dre on Suge Knight Represents: Chronic 2000, a compilation that borrowed its name from his own 1992 album The Chronic, and this is the answer: Dre running down the roster of rap careers he'd built, from Eazy-E and Ice Cube to Snoop, and swatting away talk that he'd gone pop.
Then Eminem barrels in with a verse of cartoonish, Slim Shady-grade mayhem, words he'd first written and cut as a guide vocal for Snoop Dogg to perform. Dre, Eminem and Mel-Man wrote it, with Mike Elizondo on bass, Sean Cruse on guitar and Camara Kambon on keys. Kendrick Lamar later counted it among the best verses on the album.
