"but as far as me and Dre - once we got together - we started realizing how different we was - nahmean? To try to get on the same page was more complicated than we thought. Like, a beat come on - we listening to the beat - I'm already seeing what I'm gonna do - but then Dre might go: "yo, I want you to do such and such on this one." and I'm like "c'mon Dre, been there did that already, man" - nahmean?

but we started realizing that you know it was like night and day. Dre's formula you know - "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Dre loved - well at that point he was loving gangsta rappers-rappers beefin' - nahmean? At that point I figured: I did that already -
it was time to move on and just make good music.

So you know every time we sit down - a beat would come on - start listening to the beat - "what you want to do, Dre?" "yo, just talk (I can curse, right?) talk shit on this one." (wow) you nahmean?

and I also felt like, I didn't really have to beef with my peers. Nahmean? He wanted me to kinda set it off and brag about who I was and what I did. But at that point I felt like they already know, man, and for me to brag about it would take points away from - nahmean - what I did and what I'm doing.

But um you know, I'm glad that he holla'd at me you know? and I'm glad that he had a vision with me in mind - nahmean? I thanked him for that - but we just couldn't find a medium where he was happy and I was happy with either the direction or the topic or what he wanted me to say to a certain beat or what it was....
