Dr. Dre's "The Next Episode" comes off 2001, the rapper and producer's second studio album, from 1999, and became its third single in 2000. It's built as a sequel to "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang", his old team-up with Snoop Dogg from The Chronic, and Snoop is back riding shotgun, the only guest who gets billing even though Kurupt and Nate Dogg are on it too. Camara Kambon's keyboards, Sean Cruse's guitar and Preston Crump's bass fill out the track.
It climbed to 23 on the Billboard Hot 100, and the pair never let it go: they played it on the 2000 Up in Smoke Tour, opened the Super Bowl LVI halftime show with it on February 13, 2022, and revived it for Los Angeles' turn in the 2024 Olympics closing ceremony, a wink at the city hosting the next Summer Games in 2028.
