They're all replayed. That was Dre's steez.


And while I appreciate you writing it all out (way better than I could have done btw-lol) as a bass player, you know better than anybody that those "extra" notes are kinda important.

Like i said, it's a similar progression so the bassline will be similar as well, but it's still not the 'Knee Deep' bassline.

It's like Don't Stop Believing vs With or Without You. Same progression, different everything else.
