10 lames who don't get "The Message"...

[rofldinosaur333]

at a funeral, the farewell speech is rarely given by the family, its usually given by the person presiding, be it a priest, or rabbi or whatever religious preacher you recognize, and that person usually doesn't know who it is particularly well. Dre letting Royce write this is simply because Royce, overall, is more of a lyrical rapper, much in the way Wale is now. doesn't matter who wrote it, dre still killed it

[majestik187rhymes]

everyone should enjoy the song in my opinion, royce and dre bother have brothers so relate it to both considering it was written about both... ENJOY THE DAMN MUSIC...

[greeksdorok]

takes so much away knowing royce wrote the lyrics... i love dre... but pretty pathetic he couldnt write atleast the lyrics to this song considering its talking about his brother...

[fabio1976ification]

Éssa musica é muito linda...

[MrTSTN]

I see a lot of dissapointed reactions on the fact that royce da 5'9" wrote most of the lyrics. But I think you should look at it on an other way. He just wanted to make the best tribute song, with the best lyrics. And maybe he thought his lyrics wouldnt be enough to express his feeling. I mean to fit the right words to the feeling.

I think he made the best tribute anyone could ever make. It goes straight to your heart.

Lord Finesse killed it on this beat maynnn

[GMkid1487]

for those of you Wondering, the beat was produced by Lord Finesse, and the lyrics are written by Royce Da 5'9" believe it or not. But Dre said in an interview that how he does that a bunch of ghostwriters would sit in his room, like a classroom, whether it was Eminem, Hittman, Snoop Dogg, etc. and they would send their lyrics up to Dre, and he would choose the best and make a few edits to them to suit his personality better, and then record, so his thought did go somewhat into the lyrics.

[TheUnRealTooTall]

@GMkid1487 what interview very interested



[ss2lakhan]

@GMkid1487 yeah, like 0.15%

[PieandBiscuits]

@GMkid1487 I had no idea, I wondered how Dre started rappin so hot he was kind of wack with NWA.. glad he's sticking to producing. That's some interesting shit, thanks man.

[MAJESTYOFFICIAL]

@GMkid1487 thanks for answering my question.

[MikeM3223]

Props on the video, but this song upsets me because Dre didn't write it. Who does that?

[XxplosiveAM]

@MikeM3223 i know it was Dre's brother so he should've written it

[tupacsomething69]

@cKunke2 LOOL, touche

[InsaneDrummer99]

little dissapointed dre didnt write a song so personally close to him :/

[TheRewindStudios]

hella funny at the end XD

[FlwraYo]

@TheRewindStudios From ALL song..is this all ya have to say?

[ScubaDude79]

This is a tight emotional track which makes it all the more ridiculous to me that such a personal track was written by Royce 5' 9"...seriously, how do you have someone write YOU a song about YOUR own dead brother?

[InsaneDrummer99]

@ScubaDude79 no way your kidding right.

[ScubaDude79]

@InsaneDrummer99

Nope...I mean a lot of people forget that Dre is not a very good writer (even back in the NWA days Ice Cube wrote everything...dre's verses, his own, eazy's). Even wikipedia gives writing credits to Royce for that track. I mean, I'm sure Dre "helped" with the verse since it is based on his brother but it was essentially written by Royce.

[youralcoholicdad44]

@ScubaDude79 Dre is the best producer ever but he simply cant rap. is it better to have shitty verses like kanye or have royce da 5'9 write something dope?

[ScubaDude79]

@youralcoholicdad44

I don't know man...I mean I'm not a big fan of ghost-writing period but I accept that it happens and, well, chronic 2001 probably woulda been weak without it. But to have someone ghostwrite about your dead brother...I mean that seems pretty low to me. Don't get me wrong, I love Dre...he's a pioneer and I agree that he's the best producer of all time; but letting somebody ghostwrite a track about your own brother is just going too far.

[zaki1945]

@peterscoop yeah im sure. look up royce da 5'9 he said it in an interview on a documentary called beef. he broke it down on when he use to write with eminem and was featured on the slim shady lp. eminem brought royce to dre and let him hear songs and he let royce help out on the chronic and subsequently picked the message which royce wrote.
