Hmm... Dogg...

If you act like a bitch (nigga) nigga you get smacked like a bitch

The great thing about art is that anyone can do it. If you've got a better song, there's no need to put down a fellow artist, just drop it. Which is I think Dre's point. There's a whole lot of people talking and not a lot of people walking.

I’ve been saying this garbage had to stop for years. The notion of staying hard and tough has degraded the community. You can’t pump gas without getting looked up and down by both male and females. The scariest thing is that the younger generation is getting worse. They’re more into the beat of the songs and not the words. Remember, every time a song is played the words go into your subconscious.

This song is just like all the others lately, and truly...with all these songs repeating the same thing over and over, its really getting old. When I was younger, I used to love rap and hip-hop because it had a good beat and it was really catchy...a little too catchy if you ask me. I think that everyone just goes along with whatever the artist sings because they like the actual music of the song, but even though they hear the words, memorize them, and sing them all the time, they never stop to think about the actual meaning of the words that are coming out of their mouths. Rap and hip-hop used to be two of my favorite genres, and I would sing along and dance without a care. But when I took a step back and evaluated some of the things I was listening to, I was completely appalled and ...to put it bluntly, more than mildly disgusted. I love this site and I hope that it gets a lot of attention so that it can hit people what they are submitting themselves to.

Self-hatred.
This is a language of self-hatred and from that core it teaches it's listners the same. It also embraces a deep hatred and objectification of women. What is going to happen to our young ones? This is how they are viewing themselves and each other? With a lot of hatred.
Dr. Dre, like Condi Rice seems to have an extreme case of Stockholm Syndrome. He is relating to his oppressor, becoming the voice of oppression and cashing in on it, all the while looking for acceptance like some step-n-fetch-it written and dreamed up by a little wet willie from the old cinema.
It's one thing to be all thugly and claim blood on your hands, what about the real blood shed out of lyrics like this? What about the systematic genocide that is "self-inflicted" by a bunch of kids that are just trying to be hip? The slave-master has won here. And the rich white kids in the burbs will get their braces tightened and feel edgy when they pop this CD into the SUV their Parent's bought for them and drive to the mini-mall or cruise Wal-Mart. But, the kids who live or die this culture...really die sometimes. ka-ka-ka-ka-ka brotherly suicide...and the genocide expands. As for the sisterhood...keep pissing off the goddess and see what kind of beotch slap she's got waiting for you in the wings dick.

Dr. Dre, the MC, is merely a image, a mix match of trends. But you shouldn't forget that it's more likely than not that Dre didn't even pen these lyrics himself. Dre has never been a strong MC. His acclaimed additions to the NWA and his own "classic" solo "The Chronic" were his production work. MCing was never his strong suit. Simply, he was an outlet for a writer to get his words out. This brings up another interesting thing and that is that during the early 1990s, the West Coast was never known for great writing. Even a celebrated artist like Tupac wasn't really a great writer when one was to actually sit down and study the lyrics. Tupac's glorification as a living artist came from his delivery and emotion, not the actual words.

People really need to stop taking this so seriously. It's meant as entertainment. Not very many people take rap as realistic....you don't see people walking down the street calling each other "bitch niggas." If you take this song as entertainment, and not as a life model, you will do fine. Most people are smart enough to seperate fantasy from reality.

Dre is talking reality and has several points. Still a good song. He's not saying anything that a hurt person may have felt and always wanted to say but doesn't. But it's the language of the streets and the street culture environment. Hip-Hop is the many voices of the oppressed and the oppressor, the victim and the predator. The abused and the abusee.The funny thing and sad thing is that as long as Dre presents this myth of himself he will get rich and attract 'bitch niggas' many of which are in his own camp. All he has to do is say the word and one of his Cro-Magnon idiot followers will act out the theatrics he describes in his music. He won't have to do anything. He has created a power base and his peons will act out his rap.
This is the saddest reality. Are the words he is saying true? Yes. Is he responsible and part of the reason that it's true? Yes. It is a vicious cycle and he plays a big part of it. The other thing is he is a musical genius. But man is he caught up in the wrong way to be a man.

Here we go again. Gun reference? check. Threats of murder hurled at rivals? check. Obligatory multiple uses of the word "nigga"? check. Wait, there's no reference to selling crack. Maybe that was the selling point for this song -- leave out the drug reference and it'll be something like a plot twist. Then again, this is only one verse from the song. Maybe the crack comes later. Get beyond the store-bought bravado, the simmering self-contempt and
the glorification of tragedy and the thing that comes across is that songs like this are... tired. These days hip hop is like a multiplex where "Scarface" is showing on all 16 screens.
"Bitch Nigga" is, of course, the hip hop term of choice for an individual not worthy of respect (the logic is that by combining two individual epithets you come up with a new super-insult.) But Dr. Dre is a wildly successful record label executive and the most commercially successful producer in the history of hip hop. Him shooting someone would be like the CEOs of Apple and Microsoft stabbing each other on Wall Street in a dispute over an internet browser.

This song makes me think like women are [prostitutes]. Dr. Dre is degrading women by comparing them with bitch niggaz, but he has a point because he is saying how these guys will stab you in the back. He talks about how [guys] talk about you behind your back like a bunch of girls.
