I'd like to say what's up to my bitch Dre, haha
08What's up, honey?
09Hoe gon' make E some mo' money, baby!
Block noteShrinks the target into a dependent
TargetDr. Dre
MeaningWhat it means: In “Hoe gon' make E some mo' money, baby!,” Eazy-E recasts Dr. Dre as a child, student, or minor-league figure who depends on a more powerful adult or senior artist. Why it was said: These records belong to Eazy-E's answer to Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and the emerging Death Row camp after Dre left Ruthless Records and mocked Eazy on The Chronic and ‘Dre Day.’ The attacks repeatedly contrast Death Row's image with Eazy's ownership history, Compton identity and claims of financial control. The hierarchy denies equality before the battle is judged: if Dr. Dre is treated as a dependent, the target's challenge can be dismissed as imitation, immaturity, or ingratitude.

Block noteTurns the target into a visual punchline
TargetSnoop Dogg
MeaningWhat it means: In “And to that skinny ass, punk muthaphukkin' mangy-ass trick,” Eazy-E reduces Snoop Dogg to an exaggerated physical caricature instead of engaging the target's preferred public image. Why it was said: These records belong to Eazy-E's answer to Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and the emerging Death Row camp after Dre left Ruthless Records and mocked Eazy on The Chronic and ‘Dre Day.’ The attacks repeatedly contrast Death Row's image with Eazy's ownership history, Compton identity and claims of financial control. A visual insult is easy for an audience to remember and repeat; the goal is to make ridicule of Snoop Dogg travel beyond the song itself.
