Dr Dre Ft : Eminem & Skylar Grey : I Need A Doctor

“I Need A Doctor” is the first cut from Dre’s first album in ten years, and it’s a monster – a raw, booming track filled with the echoing slap of drums and Eminem’s finest rage-filled rhymes.

I Need A Doctor is the first cut from Dre’s first album in ten years, and it’s a monster – a raw, booming track filled with the echoing slap of drums and Eminem’s finest rage-filled rhymes. Skylar Grey delivers a moody chart pop chorus, reprising Dido’s work on Stan, and Dre swings in at the end for a smooth, bass-heavy rap.

This is a love song – a vivid slice of bromance storytelling by Eminem and Dre, in which they declare their fierce, undying loyalty to each other, Eminem bellowing about how Dre supported a white boy cracker rapper when no one else would, about how much it hurts to see Dre struggling to find direction, and Dre reminiscing about the first day Slim walked into his studio and blew everyone else away, about how faithful Slim was when all of Dre’s fair weather rap friends dropped away. It’s fucking intense, I tells ya – the kind of disarmingly intimate lyricism that made Eminem a star, teased out by two creative masters. I don’t know if it’s true, exactly – since when has super producer Dre been down and out? – but man, do they sell it. This is A-grade drama, and truly awesome hip hop.
