Wikipedia: "F**k wit Dre Day (And Everybody's Celebratin') (released as Dre Day) is a hip-hop single by Dr. Dre, with a guest appearance by Snoop Dogg, from the 1992 album The Chronic on Death Row Records. The song was released as a single in 1993.
The single failed to match the popularity of Dre's earlier hit, "Nuthin' but a "G" Thang", although it did reach number twelve on the U.S. chart in June 1993 and number fifty-eight (counting the twelve weeks spent) on the rap/hip-hop chart on that year's overall ranking. It also reached number eight on the Billboard Hot 100. The song features an interpolation of Funkadelic's "(Not Just) Knee Deep" as its baseline and features Jewell on vocals and RBX on chorus.
The song was a diss towards rappers Eazy-E, Dre's former accomplice, Tim Dog, an East Coast rapper who slighted the whole West Coast rap scene, and Luther (Luke) Campbell.
The premise of the video concerns a parody character of Eazy-E called "Sleazy-E", complete with a Jheri Curl hairstyle and wearing dark sunglasses (played by A.J. Johnson), getting a new contract from a man depicted as a fat, Jewish, money-grubbing record producer (played by a real life executive producer from Interscope Records, Steve Berman). The story features Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg walking around and gaining a following from others around them. There is an interlude in the middle of the video, where Sleazy-E introduces his two new grotesque protégés (played by Bushwick Bill and Warren G) to his new manager. Sleazy appears in a number of situations, including being shot, becoming homeless, being chased by armed men, and finally, on the Compton freeway with a sign: "Will Rap for Food"."
NSFW for language, of course.
