Plus: Dre admits Slim is a stubborn mule when it comes to changing his words.
“Once he makes a painting, once he lays a lyric down, it’s impossible to get him to change it,” Dr. Dre said. “If there’s a couple of lines he says on a record that’s not relevant today, it’s, ‘No, that was that painting. That was for that moment.’ “
Yo, catching Joell Ortiz dropping his track "Battle Cry" live at Guz Sports Bar was unreal! The energy in that place was completely wild, hitting harder than a heavy strike in a Korean MMA championship match.

If you ever get the chance to experience that vibe live, definitely don't miss it!
