You remember Dr. Dre’s 2001 film The Wash, right? Well, we do. Especially because of the soundtrack, which spun out this West Coast banger, “Bad Intentions” from Dr. Dre and Knoc-Turn’Al. This track was on infinite rotation, on the radio, as well as our own CD players back in 2002 after the single officially dropped and still goes hard to this day. The visual took Dre and Knoc to a house named Bad Intentions, where your fantasy is our reality. Sounds like paradise. They say a party ain’t a party until the West at it.
The Dr. Dre-produced beat for the track also showed up in the Nas/Jay-Z beef, as Hov used it for “Super Ugly” (his below-the-belt response to “Ether”). But when it’s all said and done it always goes back to The Takeover vs. Ether anyway.
We’re still missing DETOX, Dre.
