Writer of Dre's verse in I Need a Doctor.

[sully10x]

Written by Dre:
It literally feels like a lifetime ago
but I still remember the shit like it was just yesterday though
you walked in, yellow jump suit
whole room, cracked jokes
once you got inside the booth, told you, like smoke
went through friends, some of them I put on
but they just left, they said they was riding to the death
but where the fuck are they now
now that I need them, I dont see none of them
all I see is Slim
fuck all you fair-weather friends
all I need is him

Written by Em:
fucking backstabbers
when the chips were down you just laughed at us
now you bout to feel the fucking wrath of aftermath, faggots
you gon see us in our lab jackets and ask us where the fuck we been?
you can kiss my indecisive ass crack maggots and the crackers ass
little crack a jack beat making wack ass,
backwards producers, Im back bastards
one more CD and then I’m packing up my bags and as I’m leaving
I’ll guarantee they scream Dre don’t leave us like that man cause…

How do you know this, it makes sense, but how would you know>?

[achiles22]

from the rhyme sceme i guess it has the pattern of em

[RainMan44]

I'd agree with this for 2 reasons.

1) The part that you said is written by Dre, is a verse praising Em. I don't think that Em would ghostwrite about himself and praise himself. That would be......awkward. Also, it is written rather poorly....so, that is written by Dre.
2) The second segment which you said is written by Em, sounds like it has that Em rhyme scheme, also, it doesn't have any parts that are talking about Em.


I think Em told Dre "you write the parts that are talking about me, and I'll ghostwrite the rest."

Because I have a brain.

[sully10x]

It makes sense....But i do believe that Dre didn't write that part alone, he must have had some help.
I don't really care, ghostwriting for Dre isn't something new!

Lol the first part is pretty bad. I hope to God Dre could write that at least.

Man Detox's gonna suck,if some one or the other is gonna ghostwrite first luda then eminem next who snoop .
10 years down the line he didn't have the time to write his own stuff,even though this is an assumption that em wrote those lines but.. can't rule out the possibilities of this being true.

Seems plausible.

As, I remember hearing the verse and thinking it sounded pretty bad but then hearing that latter bit and thinking "that's Em" because of the rhyming.

And I was trying to figure out why it still sounded shit to me and now I realize, from this post, it's because of that first bit. Which is clearly not written by Em, doesn't have a meticulous rhyme structure and so feels loose and... amateur.

But, makes sense for him to write it as I was thinking it would be weird for Em to write those lyrics about himself, as Dre lmao. I was thinking like... how would they do that, comfortably.

Same way Em writes the line "all this time me n Dre been fuckin with hats off"

[EminemBase]

^ That's totally different though lmao.

Because that's Em writing a tongue-in-cheek line as HIMSELF. It's just a joke.

That's HIM. But to write earnest lyrics about himself, as Dre, is weird.

[N.W.A.]

That's why only certain people are good ghostwriters, getting past the "weirdness".

[Epidemik]

Em probly wrote the entrie verse. crack a bottle style lol

I actually think the first part of Dre's verse is the best. I think the "maggots, and the cracker's ass, little cracker jack" part sounds shit.
