Snoop Dogg has admitted that he actually loves “Real Muthaphuckkin G’s,” Eazy-E‘s venomous diss track towards him and Dr. Dre.
Appearing on The Bootleg Kev Podcast, Snoop confessed that he has a lot of admiration for the song and listens to it frequently.

“I got a radio station on LITT Live called Cadillac Music. Every day at about 1:30, 2:00, walk down the hall. Eazy-E, [Gangsta] Dresta and B.G. Knocc Out be playing, and that shit be knocking,” he said.
“And you’ll hear me singing it. ‘Muthafuck Dre, muthafuck Snoop, muthafuck Death Row!’ That n-gga Eazy-E was on my head [laughs]. That shit was so hard.”

When asked if he felt the same way about the song when it first dropped, Tha Doggfather replied: “Fuck no! Fuck them n-ggas! You don’t wanna give no n-gga credit when a n-gga dissing you, and we was on them n-ggas’ heads. We had ‘What Would U Do?,’ we had ‘Dre Day.’ We were busting them upside the head.
“But when they dropped that muthafucka, we felt that one. The other shit, we didn’t feel. But that muthafucka right there? Eazy-E was going in on a n-gga!”

Snoop also admitted that he was initially taken aback by Eazy-E, one of his Hip Hop heroes, attacking him on wax: “I was like, ‘Damn, I love Eazy. Why he going so hard on me?’ But then I had to think: look what you did to him, look what you said about him! I didn’t even get off to a good start with somebody that I really loved.”
The 55-year-old added that he took the beef “personal,” while Dr. Dre saw the it as “just business” and was cordial with his former N.W.A groupmate outside of the diss songs.
Snoop Dogg previously revealed that Dr. Dre gave him the first shot at recording over the beat that would become Eazy-E’s “Eazy Duz It” in 1988.
Speaking on the Checc’n ~ InPodcast, the rap legend said: “[Dre] came over one Thanksgiving and Warren G had me nervous because he was telling Dre, ‘Snoopy can rap.’ And I was like, ‘Man, shut the fuck up! I ain’t ready yet.’

“So Dre takes us to the back room and he starts playing that, ‘He once was a thug from around the way,’ before it had even come out. [Dre] turned to me and was like, ‘You rap?’ and I’m like, ‘Nah, I don’t rap!’ That was my moment and I froze up on cuz. I wasn’t ready.”
Snoop is fresh off the release of Missionary, his first album to be entirely produced by Dr. Dre since his iconic 1993 debut Doggystyle.
Despite a blockbuster rollout and star-studded supporting cast that includes Eminem, 50 Cent and Sting, the project is not poised to have a huge impact on the charts.
According to HITSDailyDouble, Missionary is on track to earn just 36,000 equivalent units in its first week.

With that figure, the long-awaited album will likely debut at just number 20 on the Billboard 200, making it one of Snoop’s lowest-selling efforts and by far Dre’s worst performing release.
