Song Description
The song is a response to Dr. Dre's "Fuck Wit Dre Day (and Everybody's Celebratin')" which was a diss to Eazy-E. Eazy-E claims on the track that Dr. Dre was nothing more than a "studio gangsta", or a "wannabe gangsta" and was not an "OG" (Original Gangsta) which Dre claimed to be. In one line, Dresta raps: "Damn E, they tried to fade you on Dre Day", to which Eazy-E responds "But Dre Day only meant Eazy's payday." This line was a reference to the fact that Eazy-E had a contract with Dr. Dre as his exclusive producer. The contract further stated that this will mean Eazy-E will simply profit from anything Dr. Dre releases, even a diss, for the next 6 years.
He expresses his contempt for Dre, Snoop Doggy Dogg, and Death Row Records, rapping: "Muthafuck Dre, muthafuck Snoop, muthafuck Death Row, yo and here comes my left blow.'"'
The second verse is rapped by Dresta, where he questions Dre being a gangster and claims that Dre "ain't broke a law in his life, but yet every time he rap he yap about the guns and knives." and that "never ever once has he ran with the turf but yet in every verse claims he used to do the dirt." Dresta also explicitly calls Dre a 'Fag'.
On the third verse, B.G. Knocc Out raps that Dre is what he calls a "wannabe" and "ain't shit compared to real Muthaphuckkin' G's." B.G Knocc Out also claims that Dr. Dre is not from Compton by saying, "See, young Niggaz like me, will break ya off something. Claimin my city, but Dre you ain't from Compton." Snoop Doggy Dogg is blasted by Eazy-E on the track for being skinny, with Eazy-E rapping: "You're like a kid: you found a pup and you're dapper, but tell me, where the fuck you found an anorexic rapper? Talkin' bout who you go squabble with and who you shoot, You're only sixty pounds when you're wet and wearing boots." In Eazy's final verse he states:
"At Death row, I hear you're gettin treated like boot camp
Gotta follow ya sergeant's directions,
or get your ass pumped with a Smith & Wesson
Learn a lesson from the Eaze
Stay in your place and don't step to real muthafuckin G's."
This was in reference to several rumors (at the time), which eventually became fact, about Suge Knight's abrasive and abusive management. Witnesses who worked at Death Row said they had seen or had even been victims themselves of Suge's physical or verbal abuse by either him or members of his entourage.
The chorus of the song consists of several samples played back to back. The first line is from The D.O.C.'s 1989 track "It's Funky Enough": "Stomp him in his tracks, show him that I am ruthless". The word ruthless is a reference to Eazy-E's record label, Ruthless Records. The second sample is taken from the introduction to Eazy-E's own track "Eazy-Duz-It, in which Eazy-E calls Dr. Dre to cue the music. The sample consists of Eazy-E saying "yo, Dre!" to which Dr. Dre responds with "what's up?". Immediately after Dre's response, a gunshot sound effect is heard, implying that Eazy-E shot Dr. Dre. The chorus line concludes with Eazy's signature "boy you should've known by now!" (which, on the final seconds, becomes: "Boy, you should have known by now: Eazy-Duz-It!")

Famous quotes containing the words song and/or description:
“Some of us prefer Austrian voices risen in song to ugly German threats.”
—Ernest Lehman (b. 1920)
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Pauls, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (17171797)
