"Fuck wit Dre Day (And Everybody's Celebratin')", or censored as a single titled "Dre Day", is a song by American rapper and record producer Dr. Dre featuring fellow American rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg and uncredited vocals from Jewell released in May 1993 as the second single from Dre's debut solo album, The Chronic (1992). "Dre Day" was a diss track targeting mainly Dre's former groupmate Eazy-E, who led their onetime rap group N.W.A and who, along with N.W.A's manager Jerry Heller, owned N.W.A's record label, Ruthless Records. In "Dre Day" and in its music video, which accuse Eazy of cheating N.W.A's artists, Dre and Snoop degrade and menace him. Also included are disses retorting earlier disses on songs by Miami rapper Luke Campbell, by New York rapper Tim Dog, and by onetime N.W.A. member Ice Cube, although Dre, while still an N.W.A member, had helped diss Cube first. After "Dre Day," a number of further diss records were exchanged.

Analysis

On the main popular songs chart, the US Billboard Hot 100, whereas The Chronic's lead single, "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang", reached number two, "Dre Day" peaked at number eight in June 1993. The song's bassline is a slowed interpolation from Funkadelic's song "(Not Just) Knee Deep." The chorus includes vocals by two more Death Row Records artists, R&B singer Jewell and rapper RBX. Also included is a sample and an interpolation from George Clinton’s song “Atomic Dog."

A diss track, "Dre Day" mainly targeted Dre's former N.W.A groupmate Eazy-E. Yet it also dissed New York rapper Tim Dog for his song "Fuck Compton." It also retorted Miami rapper Luke Campbell, a member of group 2 Live Crew, whose debut solo album I Got Shit On My Mind included the track "Fakin' Like Gangstas." Some "Dre Day" lyrics allude to former N.W.A rapper Ice Cube, whose 1989 departure from the group was acrimonious, incurring verbal menace at Cube by Dre with groupmate MC Ren rapping N.W.A's April 1991 single "Alwayz into Somethin'," retorted in Cube's October 1991 track "No Vaseline."

In "Dre Day," Dre vows "to creep to South Central," which is Ice Cube's hometown, "on a Street Knowledge mission," while Cube's own record label was initially named Street Knowledge Productions. Dre lyrically "steps in the temple," evidently alluding to Cube's affiliation with the Nation of Islam, and claims to "spot him" by a "White Sox hat," which Cube often donned. Earlier that year, Cube had the single "Check Yo Self." Dre adds, "You tryin to check my homey, you best check yo self." Not parodied in the "Dre Day" music video, however, Cube instead would cameo, signaling reconciliation with Dre, in the September 1993 music video of the next and last Chronic single, "Let Me Ride."

Music video

Dr. Dre directed the music video, which parodies Eazy-E as "Sleazy-E," played by actor A. J. Johnson with an exaggerated Jheri Curl hairstyle, a plaid shirt, and dark sunglasses. Prefacing the song performance is a skit, wherein Sleazy-E enters the office of "Useless Records" where a rotund Jewish man hires him to find some rappers. This mimic of Eazy-E's Ruthless Records co-owner Jerry Heller was played by Interscope Records executive Steve Berman. (Berman later played in three Eminem skits and one D12 skit.)

An interlude shows Sleazy-E introducing two newly acquired protégés, played by Bushwick Bill and Warren G, to his manager. In other scenes, Sleazy sustains gunfire, becomes homeless, is chased by armed men, and finally, along the Pasadena Freeway, holds up a cardboard sign scribbled WILL RAP FOR FOOD. The "Dre Day" video also parodies Luke Campbell of Miami rap group 2 Live Crew, portraying him jumping around on a stage. In 2005, a survey by MTV2 and XXL ranked the "Dre Day" music video 12th among the "25 Greatest West Coast Videos".[4]

Artist responses

The "Dre Day" single's B side "Puffin' on Blunts and Drankin' Tanqueray," featuring The Lady of Rage and Tha Dogg Pound, contains more Dr. Dre insults at Eazy-E, at Tim Dog, and at Luke, while Kurupt disses Ruthless Records rappers Above the Law and Kokane. On Kokane's second album, he and Above the Law member Cold 187um replied with "Don't Bite the Funk." Eazy-E's EP titled It's On (Dr. Dre) 187um Killa includes the song "Exxtra Special Thankz", the song "It's On," the song "Still a Nigga," and the song "Real Muthaphuckkin G's," featuring new recording artists BG Knocc Out and Dresta.

"Real Muthaphuckkin G's" would become Eazy-E's biggest hit as a solo artist. Its music video imports from the "Dre Day" music video the character Sleazy-E, who in Eazy-E's music video is still roadside holding up a WILL RAP FOR FOOD sign, but is later chased through town, dragged into a van, and eventually lies motionless at his earlier roadside spot, or, in the video's radio edit, falls flat when running near a Leaving Compton road sign. On the short film Murder Was the Case's soundtrack, Snoop Dogg and Tha Dogg Pound responded with "What Would You Do?" while its music video parodies Eazy-E's proteges BG Knocc Out and Dresta themselves chased and beaten by Tha Dogg Pound.

Tim Dog responded to "Dre Day" with an EP titled Bitch With a Perm, including the title track and "Dog Baby," which yielded a music video including a dancing Snoop Dogg mimic with straightened hair, a "perm" hairstyle. Luke replied on his second solo album's song "Cowards in Compton," whose music video parodies both Dre's inclusion in the 1980s electro-rap group World Class Wreckin' Cru and casts Dre and Snoop lookalikes ridiculed in a mock of the "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" music video. Luke's album, In The Nude, also included a skit, "Dre's Momma Needs a Haircut," targeting "Tha Shiznit" skit on Snoop's debut solo or November 1993 album, Doggystyle. Compton rapper Tweedy Bird Loc joined against Luke by issuing "Fucc Miami” on his 1994 album No Holds Barred.
