Still A Nigga

Still A Nigga is a diss track by Eazy-E targeting Dr. Dre. 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.

    'Cause I'm the type of nigga that gotta have it like a rabbit

    15

    Rappin' is my hustle, bustin' ho's is a habit

    30

    I don't think I'm all this or that, but I'm all me

    35

    And from what my eyes see the wickedness will never cease

    36

    Bitches on my dick and you know I'm runnin' y'all

    37

    So you just sold your soul to the motherfuckin' devil's son-in-law

    Block noteAccuses the target of trading integrity for success

    TargetDr. Dre

    MeaningWhat it means: In “So you just sold your soul to the motherfuckin' devil's son-in-law,” Eazy-E says Dr. Dre sacrificed principles or artistic identity in exchange for commercial advantage. 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 accusation reframes Dr. Dre's success as a bad bargain: the larger the reward, the more it is supposed to prove what the target was willing to surrender.
