What up, Dr. Dre?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dr. Dre's song Lolo depict a scene where Dre is driving through the neighbourhood in his customised lowrider. He pulls up to a group of his friends admiring the car and they are impressed by the way it is decorated, with sparkling chrome and impressive hydraulics. The lyrics convey a sense of pride and admiration for the car and the lifestyle it represents.


The use of slang and profanity in this song is emblematic of the gangsta rap genre, of which Dr. Dre was a pioneer. The song celebrates a subculture of lowriders, where cars were often customised as a showcase of wealth and status. Dre's lyrics reflect his own experience growing up in the rough neighbourhood of Compton, California and the harsh realities of that environment. His music often explores themes of violence, crime, and drug use, as well as the pursuit of wealth and power.


Overall, Lolo is a song that glorifies the lowrider culture and the materialism that was prevalent in the gangsta rap scene of the 90s. It is a reminder of a particular era in American music history, where hip hop emerged as a voice for marginalized communities, and became an outlet for artists to express themselves creatively and politically.

One of the best beats in hip-hop history

Anthony Fergerson

The same could be said about most songs on this album. Legendary.
