That punk nigga Dre still pays me
- 20
Body slammin' bitches makes a Dre a bigger man
21Khaki sportin' Locs in a G ride
22What set you from, punk? What set you from, right?
Block noteUses gendered or sexual humiliation
TargetDr. Dre
MeaningWhat it means: In “Fag, with the stethoscope, now you sag,” Eazy-E uses gendered or sexual language to question Dr. Dre's masculinity or humiliate the target in front of the audience. 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 tactic tries to trigger an emotional reply and damage Dr. Dre's public image, even though the framing itself can reproduce homophobic or sexist stereotypes.

Old nigga Eazy-E went to the cupboard
40To get Snoop Doggy Dogg a bone, motherfucker
41Here's another G
42Or should I say a H, a I, a J, a K, a L-M-N-O-P?
Block noteFrames the target as obsolete
TargetSnoop Dogg
MeaningWhat it means: In “Old nigga Eazy-E went to the cupboard,” Eazy-E makes age, longevity, or current relevance part of the argument with Snoop Dogg, either answering an age taunt or presenting the opponent as past a peak. 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 age argument is really a claim about relevance: it asks listeners to view Snoop Dogg's reputation as inherited from the past rather than earned in the current exchange.

As a motherfuckin' joke, talkin' about you wanna smoke
45The E to the A-Z-Y, nigga, this is E's side
46Snoop Doggy Doggy Dogg, you wanna try?

The comparison converts status into material evidence and is meant to make Snoop Dogg's success claims look hollow beside something listeners can picture and measure.

- 71
And niggas from the CPT ain't down with D-R-E
72But you gave it up still, like a trooper
73Let 'em play your jam, shake your hand and then they shoot ya

- 75
But in L.A., you still ain't pass the test
76See, I can tell a pussy when I see one
77Dre wearing lipstick, that mean ya have to be one
Block noteUses image and fashion as evidence
TargetDr. Dre

- 79
You try to fuck with E, nigga, run, run, run
Block noteTurns sexual access into humiliation
TargetDr. Dre
MeaningWhat it means: In “You need to change your sex and your occupation,” Eazy-E uses a sexual claim or joke to deny Dr. Dre control of an intimate relationship and to make the opponent look publicly rejected, displaced, or embarrassed. 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 point is provocation rather than romance: bringing private access into the record raises the emotional cost of the feud and pressures Dr. Dre to answer a claim that an audience can easily repeat.
