The single was very popular, helping the album reach multi-platinum status. The lyrics, co-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 with Mel-Man, with Camara Kambon and Scott Storch on keyboards, who created the famous riff.
It interpolates Grant Green's "Maybe Tomorrow" from his 1971 album Visions.
