Eminem says that when he presented “I Need A Doctor” to Dr. Dre, he had one simple goal in mind. It’s the same goal many fans have had for the better part of the last decade.
“Obviously, my whole career, especially in the beginning but even until this day, is always to get a reaction out of Dre,” Eminem explained in an interview with “Extra.” “The reaction I wanted was to spark him even more than he’s been sparked lately and get him to finish the album.”
After the pair performed the collaboration at the Grammy Awards earlier in February, the big-budgeted video for “I Need A Doctor” premiered on MTV Thursday. The clip, which is nearly eight minutes long, features Eminem helping Dre recover from a coma caused by a near-fatal car accident.
Eminem confirmed that the scenes featuring Dre in a coma represent both himself and Hip Hip attempting to wake up Dre. While laughing at his protégé during the ”Extra” interview, Dre said the song did indeed spark him to move forward with his swan song, which has been nearly a decade in the making.
“This song and this video is like the rebirth of something,” Dre added. “Maybe the rebirth of me going to whatever the future holds. It’s weird because that’s how I started feeling during the making of this video. With the rehabilitation and everything it really just feels that way.”
I hope Dre knows their are other shirt sizes than just a small.
LOL word.
Did they really need to explain this? It’s pretty obvious.
faggots.
damn 15 year old haters go jerk off to a lilwayne video
This shouldnt have been a Dr.Dre track. This cant be a Detox track, and its disappointing, not the hard stuff the doc comes out with.
i gotta say i agree. song is good but it sounds like it should’ve been on recovery or whatever eminem does next. and i don’t think dre’s style fits over this type of beat, but it’s sick to hear him active and all.
There`s still hope,there are 10 songs left & he`s droppin` 4 more singles with video`s…
i’m a huge hiphop head and although this song is dope for the pop world….. one verse, one verse from Dre??????? I understand that the climate for music has changed but I hope ‘Kush’ and ‘I need a doctor’ stays off the album.
totally agree
Agreed, how you come after 10 years with only 1 verse that you didn’t even write and not even made the beat to

i have respect for dre but u fuckin suck!! em u a legend but dre u dont write ya own shit or even produce ya own shit so no props for u loser!
Like many fucktards before you I will explain what a producer means. A producer oversees and controls every aspect of a songs production, the beat, the lyrics, the engineering, and the the mixing….on top of that Dre IS the best BEATSMITH the game has ever heard, and has his fingers in every beat he purchases from someone else, especially the drums…learn your music or go troll somewhere else, like TMZ!
LOL @ the guy making minumum wage calling grammy award winning muli-millionaire DRE a loser…
are u seriously saying dre doesnt produce his own music?
like quik said, there’s a suck think as a producer and there’s a such thing as a beat maker, i think dre is more of a producer, but he has beat making skills. i don’t know, but when he comes out with something, it’s tight as hell. but without d.o.c. i’m waiting to hear the new sound.
Dam why is dre so buff? I think him and 50 bout to throw bo’s, and i got ma money on dre kickin his ass..
I would go down on Dre…
DR.DRE CHRONIC WAS A CLASSIC,CHRONIC 2001 WAS ALSO A CLASSIC.I REALLY HOPE DRE DOES THIS TIME AROUND CAUSE ITS NOT 2001 OR THE 90’S.ITS A NEW DAY.PEOPLE ITS NOT REALLY WAITING ON IT.THE PEOPLE FROM THE 90’S ERA ARE.HE WAITED TO LONG.AND ITS DISAPPOINTING THE FANS,NOW IN DAYS IF U AINT JAY-Z EMINEM OR KANYE-RICKROSS-NICKI-WAKA- U BETTER HOP YOUR RECORDS SELLING.AND DONT USE I NEED A DOCTOR AS THE SINGLE ITS A HOT TRACK,ITS SOUND LIKE EMNIEM IS ON DRE’S DICK,DRE NEED A GOOD CLASSIC WITH SNOOP,TO COME BACK WITH IT I REP EASTCOAST,BUT I WANNA HERE THAT REAL WESTCOAST HIPHOP THAT IM USED TO,I DONT WANT TO HERE A SONG ABOUT EMINEM FEELINGS ABOUT DRE CAUSE THATS ALL IT IS.DRE DAM IT GIVES US DETOX.WERE FEINING FOR THAT SHIT MY NIGG.WE NEEDAND LOVE THAT WESTCOAST SHIT TOO.SHOUT OUT TO COMPTON-LONG BEACH-WESTCOAST-FROM UPSTATE NEW YORK
there is no video(
The video explains itself. No need for a fucking interview.
The whole song is gay. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of Em and Dre but this song is just gay. The instrumental is horrible, Em’s new ‘yelling-style’ is stupid as fuck and Dre only has one verse that was written by Em.
Lol, fuck a Detox. I’m not buying that shit if it is full of tracks like ‘Kush’ and ‘I Need A Doctor’.
And what’s all this hype about that Dre’s coming back? The guy doesn’t write his own lyrics or make his own beats but still claims that he’s a producer.
What kind of a fucking producer just adds few kicks and a snare in a beat and says that he made the whole fucking instrumental?
Lol, I’m fucking tired with this shit.
I’m fucking tired with Eminem and I’m fucking tired with all this mainstream bullshit.
And fuck the most of the underground too! All these whack rappers with their whack beats trying to actually become something when they have no fucking unique style.
They all sound the same. Blah blah blah.
The only rapper right now, right now in HipHop who I’m interested in is Mac Miller.
The only guy who actually gives me music that is worth listening.
And it’s not only the artists who are ruining HipHop, it’s the fans too. All you fucking idiots who download albums for free even though you have enough money to wash your ass with it are ruining HipHop even more than Lil’ Wayne, Gucci Mane or any other faggot.
I love HipHop and that’s all.
Peace!

WOW BRO ARE YOU JOKING? MACK MILLER IS THE ONLY ONE IN HIPHOP YOU FUCK WITH? THAT SHIT IS WACK? “new kicks give me cushion like whoopi”
WOW MAC MILLER??? GO SUCK THAT LITTLE QUEERS DICK YOU FAGGOT…HES THE JUSTIN BEIBER OF RAP….u dont make beats or know what a producer does, so how the fuck do u know what dre does on a daily basis?? gtfoh homo
Edon, You could’ve summed up all that by saying “I have no idea what i’m talking about.” It would’ve saved you some time.
edon..you’re worse than this terrible song is….who gives a fuck..the video was sick…its different…yall are a bunch of fuckin trolling haters…fuck you edon for saying mac miller is remotely good because hes not…
Ok although I do enjoy that Mac Miller song ‘La La La’ if he’s the only rapper your into right now or your listening to or whatever your messed up.
Dre is tarnishing his legend with this wack pop shit. It’s obviously stopped being about the art with him. That’s dissapointing. When you listen to both chronic albums they convey the sincere West Coast Hip Hop feel. Nothing feels sincere about his latest two singles. I doubt many would beg to differ.
I would beg to differ
I mean, A Guy who’s near 50 making west Coast Gang Bang music would seem more insincere then this…..
I’m not a fan of this song either but If I seen this dude come out with “The Day The Niggaz Took Over” or “Fuck The Police” now, with over 150 Million dollars, at 50 years old, I would laugh my ass off because it would be such blatant bullshit he would only be doing because he thinks thats what the fans want him to do
I wouldn’t want him to talk about bussin his gun or any of that. I just want something more sincere. This was too easy. That 50 year old man’s first single was kush by the way. I can believe Snoop but Dre on Kush? He should have gave that track to someone else. He had 1 verse on his own song. It was obviously a play off of his man’s status & that is what I find insincere. I didn’t say West Coast GANG BANG music. I said West Coast Hip Hop feel. I understand he’s global now but cmon. If the the two singles he dropped aren’t classics. His other singles were. These are lackluster. If he were to do what the fans wanted he would have not been true to his vision but he might as well as had Jimmy Iovine do his verse b/c that’s who he seemed he was aiming to please with the last two singles. Now step off of my soap box son.
People whining about your single on the internet is a good sign IMO
Whenever a Song comes out and gets love from the internet its like a Kiss of Death for the sales.
Hopefully the rest of the album goes harder but a single is what you make to help sell the album, and you aint gonna do that marketing to an Internet fan community that Downloads everything for free anyway
Real shit
Didn’t care much for the song but the nostalgic side of the video works for me and helps put things into perspective therefor making more sense out of the song as a whole.
I expect a lot more from Detox. Lets see
best comment im likely to read on this page, nothing else needs to be said!!!
wow, it feels really good to see
Dre on stage again…
HHDX journalism at its finest:
“big-budged video”,”Hip Hip”
WTF is Hip Hip?
I gotta give it to Dre, This is a man who’s so called friend’s literally wanted him dead wink wink ……….. SUGE KNIGHT !

eminem be rapping like i dontchu know you useto be my mentor edure boo hoo hoo, haha just play hugs and kiss from SimonbuNZ
LOL, not only I’m famous on this board, some Eminem fans even posted my comments on their about how Gucci Christ should perform the heavenly divine It’s Gucci Time while Eminem’s boring ass should stay retired. This song sucks. Two 40 year old virgins with no rap skills can’t be serious news. Gucci Mane will murk these niggas.
It’s Gucci Time!
i always see your post. your a fuckin idiot, gucci mane is like half retarded have you ever seen shawt bus shawty?
And yet always stalk my post that’s why you put yourself as anonymous all the time? This is probably one of those Eminem/Nas/Lupe Fiasco nerds who stay on the computer waiting from a comment to me to tell me that Gucci Christ is not the savior of rap music.
It’s Gucci Time!
HAHAHAHHAA….BURR
SuperWackRap, you sound like a fuckin’ dumbass white boy trollin’ this site, usin’ the N-word as if you can relate.

Much love to Em and Dre, but the production on “I Need A Doctor” was garbage and the video was complete cheese, I’m talking pussy shit with 2 totally different tones
What is the Swan Song
its like a finale
the song was some corny shit and the video made it even worse- makes like Dre is some kind of rap guru. Dude gets way too much credit
“makes like Dre is some kind of rap guru”
How old are you?
Dre was a pioneer of G funk.
If there was no dre , there would be no – Eminem ,50 cent , Game , Snoop Dog. And you can even argue no Pac!
no pac is a lil too much credit
Yo Man.Dre is the reason for every successful gangsta rapper male or female such as Snoop Dogg,2pac,Busta Rhymes,Xzibit,50 cent, The Game, The rap game would never be alive without Dr.Dre and The NWA.If u don’t know Dr.Dre deserve Credit you are clearly stupid and know nothing about hip hop.Dr.Dre use to write all the hit songs for his artist back in the day. but now he lets his artist write for him they have to gave back you know. Its not a one sided thing.Dr.Dre Also assistent in writting In da club for 50 cent.Do your research man.b4 pac and dre beefed pac gave Dre mad credit and pac was a real nigga he would not give credit to someone who didn’t deserve it.
Don’t forget the best rappers of all eazy and ice ice was just writing he wasn’t going nowhere with his shit ass band and eazy didn’t even rap Anon is a complete retard for thinking like that about dre
Straight up. I’m not checking for a Dr. Dre album. The two songs “the kush” and “I need a doctor” just doesn’t do nothing for me. I really can’t see myself buying this album. The Kush was a nice club song though. This new song I need a doctor is very weak. Compaired to “dr dre’s body of musical work and legacy.
Peace,
The Legacy DJ Green HORNET
im a fan of hip hop but what is hip hip haha get a better writer
The point, obviously by looking at the posts here, is that his new music is VERY dissapointing given his know body of work. It’s understood that he won’t deliver the same content since he has aged considerably but this seems like it’s coming b/c he needed to. Not because he wanted to. Kind of like the third installment of Blade that Wes wasn’t even too interested in doing. This feels more like a Dre plus Jimmy Iovine (with no D.O.C.). It’s looking like his most insincere body of work to date. That’s just one man’s opinion though.
Hey Hip Hop Fans want to know what’s the
hottest song on Youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq3KfV3r7w8
The thing with Dre has always been that he is just as good as the people he surrounds himself with. The Dogg Pound has as much to do with his success as any artist he ever worked with. Dre by himself isn’t all that interesting,there has always been someone in the shadows that deserves the real appreciation(Doc,Mel Man,Khalil,Focus,Nottz,Daz,Soopafly,Hutch,Bomb Squad,Mike Elizondo,)..I think Dre is a great engineer and has an impeccable ear but as a producer..dude is suspect cause most of the time you can tell when Dre made a beat or someone else did it and he stepped in an Diddy’d the beat..you know what i mean by Diddy’d right?..Quik to me is the real West Coast producer (Soopafly comes a close 2nd)..
I agree with Anonymous. I tell people all the time, there was some truth to Pac’s and Suge’s feelings about Dre. Not saying all of their accusations were true but he always is put on this pedestal that I think is undeserving. He is a tight producer, but taking 10 years to make an album is just bullshit. All of the rappers he has ever worked with he has eventually left for dead except of course Eminem. Game, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, the list goes on and on. I’m not saying he has to do their whole album every time. But come on just leaving them niggas for dead, promising to help with an album and not showing up to studio sessions? Game, 50 cent, and Snoop all afraid to say it but Pac wasn’t. I’m going to say it for them, this is what I think of Dr. Dre: He a shady ass phony nigga, but when he wants to work he is a tight producer. If I was any of them cats I wouldn’t fuck with his chump ass. I know some people will disagree but I just call it like I see it. If any of you had a homeboy that acted the way Dre did towards those cats you wouldn’t fuck with him either.
One last thing, somebody on here said there may have been no Pac? Man please Tupac had 2Pacalypse, Strictly For My Niggas, Me Against the World, before he even got to Death Row. Also check the credits on All Eyes On Me you will see that Daz played apart in most of that production and Johnny J. Not DRE.
You realize that most of them left Dre not the other way around, you’re crazy if you think he’s anything else but prime lemme get this right you’d put others in front of him but yet he’s a billionaire as of recently and where are those other cats at that you mentioned what’s their status who even knows of them? Get your mind right 10 years of making an album isn’t shit when you’re producing dozens of them for someone else maybe he just didn’t want to at times or wasn’t focused on it as much as artists are
I think dr dre was haveing a bad time.
does any one stop to think this is based on accuale events
It is
The fuckin video doesnt work you fuckin faggots! WTF IS WRONG WITH HHDX YALL A BUNCH OF POLE SMOKING FAGGOTS JESUS CHRIST I WANNA WATCH THIS VID BUT IT DOESNT WORK YALL GONNA TAKE MY BIG BLACK COCK RIGHT IN YOUR RECTUM NIGGA
The “I Need A Doctor video says Dre’s 36’s birthday at the beginning, Febuary 18th, 2001, The day that Dale Earnhardt died in a car accident thats why they had a car crash.
I can’t believe how much negativity is in this thread. When Detox drops, and it’s ill as fuck; I do not want to see you all become Dre nut-huggers again. You assume too much; and all of you are fake pussies for the ignorant and very uneducated statements you make. When you are 45 (not 50) your perspective will change as well…and whoever the white 18 year old rapper is at that time will seem completely irrelevant to you.
For now, go fuck yourself.

If you think it is abou Eazy, so I can say is about: N.W.A. carrer, wedding, wife, son, doughter, 2pac, then backstage of 2001 tornee, snoop dogg. Allright. Very good track. I like it a lot. Hopefully will see more Doc.
