"'''Fuck wit Dre Day (And Everybody's Celebratin')'''", or as a [[single (music)|single]] titled "'''Dre Day'''", is a song by American rapper and record producer [[Dr. Dre]] featuring fellow American rapper [[Snoop Dogg|Snoop Doggy Dogg]], and uncredited vocals from [[Jewell (singer)|Jewell]] released in May 1993 as the second single from Dre's debut solo album, ''[[The Chronic]]'' (1992). "Dre Day" was a diss track targeting mainly Dre's former groupmate [[Eazy-E]], who led their onetime rap group [[N.W.A]] and who, along with N.W.A's manager [[Jerry Heller]], owned N.W.A's record label, [[Ruthless Records]]. In "Dre Day" and in its music video, which accuse Eazy of cheating N.W.A's artists, Dre and Snoop degrade and menace him. Also included are disses retorting earlier disses on songs by Miami rapper [[Luther Campbell|Luke Campbell]], by New York rapper [[Tim Dog]], and by onetime N.W.A. member [[Ice Cube]], although Dre, while still an N.W.A member, had helped diss Cube first. After "Dre Day," a number of further diss records were exchanged.

==Analysis==

On the main popular songs chart, the US [[Billboard Hot 100]], whereas ''The Chronic'''s lead single, "[[Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang]]", reached number two, "Dre Day" peaked at number eight in June 1993. The song's bassline is a slowed [[Interpolation (popular music)|interpolation]] from [[Funkadelic]]'s song "[[(Not Just) Knee Deep]]." The chorus includes vocals by two more Death Row Records artists, R&B singer [[Jewell (singer)|Jewell]] and rapper [[RBX]]. Also included is a sample and an interpolation from [[George Clinton (funk musician)|George Clinton]]’s song “[[Atomic Dog]]."

A [[Diss (music)|diss track]], "Dre Day" mainly targeted Dre's former N.W.A groupmate [[Eazy-E]]. Yet it also dissed New York rapper [[Tim Dog]] for his song "[[Fuck Compton]]." It also retorted Miami rapper [[Luther Campbell|Luke Campbell]], a member of group [[2 Live Crew]], whose debut solo album ''[[I Got Shit On My Mind]]'' included the track "Fakin' Like Gangstas." Some "Dre Day" lyrics allude to former N.W.A rapper [[Ice Cube]], whose 1989 departure from the group was acrimonious, incurring verbal menace at Cube by Dre with groupmate [[MC Ren]] rapping N.W.A's April 1991 single "[[Alwayz into Somethin']]," retorted in Cube's October 1991 track "[[No Vaseline]]."
