A Wisconsin artist is using Dr. Seuss’ beloved nursery rhymes to spit bars over Dr. Dre‘s timeless, classic beats, and the Internet is loving it. The man in question, Wes Tank, has gone viral online for his mashups of the two famous “Doctors.” You might not think it would (or should) work, but it turns out that Dr. Seuss’ simple yet creative wordplay flows seamlessly over the genius that are Dr. Dre’s beats. While the shared prefixes of these two artists would explain why Wes decided to put them together, it wasn’t something he had given much thought before he went for it.

“It was just kind of a coincidence, it happened before a show I was playing,” he told a local Wisconsin news station. “I found a copy of One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, and I happened to have a Dr. Dre beat on my phone. During the show I just impromptu decided to put them together. It was just kind of a spontaneous moment, and the crowd went crazy.”

While he may have started with this mashup of One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish and “Still D.R.E.”—which we’re officially dubbing, “Still S.E.U.S.S.”—he’s got other Dre/Seuss crossovers as well. One of his videos, which combines Fox in Sox with “What’s the Difference” and “Let Me Ride,” has over 2 million views on Youtube.

Wes decided to start pursuing this “passion project” at home as a result of the pandemic, since he had so much time on his hands. “I needed something to do,” he said, “and I had been meaning to do some of these Dr. Seuss books rapping them with Dr. Dre beats, and I decided what better time to do this than right now.” Check out more of Wes’ videos on his Youtube channel.

Though it’s highly unlikely Dr. Dre and Machine Gun Kelly ever link up to collaborate, what with the whole Eminem beef and all, that doesn’t mean the Gunner has any ill will toward the good Doctor. In fact, as any self-respecting hip-hop fan should, Machine Gun Kelly has nothing but respect for Dre’s epic catalog of classics. At least that’s what we’re choosing to infer following his latest quarantine lockdown jam session, which finds him queuing up some “Still Dre” for a quick warm-up.

Channeling the spirit of Cypress Hill with a pre-game hit from the bong, Gunner kicks things off with Scott Storch’s iconic piano riff,  a riff that helped close out the legendary producer’s recent beat battle with Mannie Fresh. Next up comes the drums, which he lays down while flashing a few moves picked up during his time playing Tommie Lee in The Dirt.

Unfortunately, the jam session is cut short, though its not exactly the most dynamic arrangement to begin with, not that it needs to be. Should he consider laying down a longer variant of his “Still Dre” cover, let’s not forget that damn near every jam session can always benefit from a little bass.

Wiz Khalifa has been slowly plotting as we all await new music from the Taylor Gang head honcho. It's not like he's been absent from the game completely these days. He's been teasing new music online including a banger that sampled Dr. Dre's "Still D.R.E." Now, as most of you have probably heard in the past, clearing samples is difficult, especially when it comes to major hits. However, it appears as though Dr. Dre has given Wiz Khalifa the greenlight in dropping "Still Wiz." 

Wiz Khalifa might be coming with some new music imminently. The rapper took to Twitter to reveal that Dr. Dre has cleared the "Still D.R.E" sample. "Dr Dre cleared Still Wiz," he wrote. "Y’all gettin that song real Soon." The rapper only unveiled a snippet of the song just a few weeks ago so it's surprising that it got cleared this week. When Wiz might prob off the single is unclear but hopefully, he comes with it A$AP.

Aside from cooking up heat in the studio, Wiz has been back in the gym working on his MMA. The rapper did suffer an injury last year that prevented him from performing and working out, unfortunately. He seems back in action now so we can only expect Wiz to be blessing us with more heat this year. Keep your eyes peeled. 

It takes a lot of guts to even attempt to rap over an instrumental as iconic and well-known as “Still D.R.E” but Wiz Khalifa is up for the challenge and, to be honest, he does a pretty good job of covering his bases. Not everybody would be able to comfortably flex their bars over Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg‘s legendary link-up. A good number of today’s hottest stars would be incapable of spitting anything that would impress the “old heads” and the younger generation alike. Standing somewhere in the middle of that generational divide, Wiz Khalifa may have been the perfect candidate for this challenge as he bumped the classic in his ears and teased his own version of the smash hit.

Exhibiting his trademark stoner laugh at the top of the record, Wiz Khalifa filmed a compilation video of himself listening to a preview of “Still Wiz,” his remix of one of the most consumed hip-hop records of all time. “I’m still Wiz/N***as got me in that mood/How they hating when they know that I’m that dude/I hear they hating ’cause they know I got the juice,” raps the Pittsburgh star confidently. He includes props in the video, sipping from a bottle of orange juice when he vocalizes his levels of swag in the hook.

With Wiz experiencing several years in the shadows, this could be pointing to a much-needed return to form for the superstar rapper. Depending on how he decides to release this — or if he ever drops it rather — this has the potential to be big. What do you think?
