"Xxplosive" is a song by American rapper-producer Dr. Dre from his second studio album 2001 (1999). It features Kurupt, Nate Dogg, and Six-Two in the verses and Hittman singing the chorus. The song was released as a promo single, backed with "Fuck You".

Background

The production for "Xxplosive" was originally made for rapper King T to be used on his debut Aftermath album The Kingdom Come,[1] which was ultimately delayed for several years and not released until King T had left the label. It was also offered to LL Cool J, who recorded vocals for the track but ultimately turned it down, as "it just didn't quite work, it wasn't right".[2]

Attribution controversy

In a 2012 interview with AllHipHop, former Dr. Dre collaborator Chris Taylor claimed to have helped create the production for "Xxplosive" and that Dr. Dre had not credited him for his contribution.[1] Taylor alleged to have taken legal action after Dr. Dre failed to pay him the basic $1,500 fee for his work on the track; although Taylor still did not receive any official credit, he claimed the dispute forced Dr. Dre to properly credit co-producer Mel-Man for his production work on 2001.[1]

Surface conductivity is an additional conductivity of an electrolyte in the vicinity of the charged interfaces.[1] Surface and volume conductivity of liquids correspond to the electrically driven motion of ions in an electric field. A layer of counter ions of the opposite polarity to the surface charge exists close to the interface. It is formed due to attraction of counter-ions by the surface charges. This layer of higher ionic concentration is a part of the interfacial double layer....
