The beat was so formulated and simple and the raps were junior high level...how tha fukk did this shyt work looking back...
You answered your own question.

Listen to how simple the beat for Billie Jean is…one of the greatest songs ever. Them shyts become earworms man. It’s hard af not to bop your head listening to In Da club…and he rode that beat perfectly

remember when MTV released the video as the spankin new music video? Pretty sure MTV and BET played this video like 2 or 3 times an hour. Was #1 on TRL & 106 and Park and all of the shows. Went from Wanksta to this. Led to one of the top 5 most anticipated rap albums in history. Chronic, Doggystyle, MMLP, AEOM, and 50 Cent.

I heard Dre might composed that beat before the millennium and it just set there because rappers couldn’t really attack it. Goes to Show the creative process that ppl says 50 simplified isn’t as really simple as thought of if artist deemed to be more talented than 50 couldn’t do nothin on it
