Not a likely recipe for a hit: a rock song with a bizarre 11/4 time signature by half of a hip-hop duo. Dre played almost all the instruments on this irresistible party jam: He told ROLLING STONE that its guitar chords, the first he ever learned, were inspired by "the Ramones, the Buzzcocks, the Smiths." Fun fact: The "ladies" who cheer halfway in are one woman: engineer Rabeka Tuinei.

Appears on: Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (LaFace/Arista)
