"Still D.R.E." was the lead single from Dr. Dre's multi-platinum sophomore album 2001 that features Snoop Dogg on the chorus. Scott Storch, who played the keyboard for several of the album's tracks, is credited for coming up with the keyboard loop featured in the song.
The single was very popular, helping the album reach multi-platinum status. The lyrics, written by Jay-Z (credited as S. Carter in the album's liner notes) announce Dre's triumphant return to the forefront of the hip-hop scene. A sample: "Ladies, they pay homage, but haters say Dre fell off/How nigga? My last album was The Chronic." The song was produced by Dre.
It samples Grant Green's "Maybe Tomorrow" from his 1971 album Visions.
