Eminem‘s memory looks like it might not be what it used to, with the legendary rapper recently forgetting he appeared in Dr. Dre‘s iconic “Still D.R.E.” video.
In a new clip promoting “From The D 2 The LBC,” his recent collaboration with Snoop Dogg, the pair reminisce about starring onscreen together in a variety of past projects, including the 2001 film The Wash and the video for Dre’s 1999 hit single.
However, after Snoop brings up Em’s cameo in “Still D.R.E.,” Slim Shady, looking puzzled, turns to him and says: “Was I in that video?”
“Yeah, you was running on the beach,” Snoop explains. “That was like your debut album.”
“I was?” Eminem replies. “Why the fuck do I not remember? … What the fuck? You gotta show me that shit ’cause I don’t remember.”
It isn’t until Snoop reminds him that he was running on the beach in his boxers surrounded by women that Em’s memory returns. “Ohhh yeah! Ok, ok. Now I remember,” he says, before revealing he was thinking of his performance in “Forgot About Dre” and couldn’t remember a beach scene.

Elsewhere during the sit-down with Snoop, the Doggystyle rapper admitted that Eminem “challenged” him on “From The D 2 To The LBC.”
“You killed it though, bro,” Eminem tells Snoop in a separate clip, to which Snoop replies: “You challenge me Marshall. You put me back in my karate school days, where I used to be a young MC and, you know, loved the challenge of having to try new styles and new cadences.”
“The rap game is supposed to be challenging; it’s supposed to make you dig in your bag,” he continues. “‘Cause I’ve heard you on other songs with other rappers and you tend to show out, so I wanted to make sure I was going to represent.” Eminem agrees, telling him: “You showed out.”

Eminem is the goat
He literally forgot about dre..
That got me good lol. I think his lack of memory was due to prior sobering up. As a sobered guy, I will say, during its peak, the smallest, most insane moments won’t be remembered, nor cherished. Blackout season hits earlier and earlier. You’d think tolerance helps. It does physically, but that brain will work miracles blacking things out.
This is a clone like gucci mane and kodak black….Not the same guy from back then.
He’s not a clone, just older and sober. Would be weird if he still acted like he did when he was 26 tripping on acid all the damn time.
Dr. Dre is always in the news for some bogus reason. He needs to release some music. What’s the essence of recording tons of tracks and not letting your fans hear them?
He’s talked about how he works before on an interview I think or is referenced doing so…they says he likes doing recording sessions for them (meaning him and the artists) without the intent to release the music because he feels that what pure artists do. If you’re a painter, you paint for the love of painting. That’s the high, the doing so, the process itself so-to-speak.
