This single from the LP repurposed the hypnotic groove from Dr. Dre’s “Still D.R.E.,” which had come out three years earlier.

How did the riff from “Still D.R.E.” end up in “Still Ray”? The repetition of the triad, I wanted to take that and turn this hard Dr. Dre song into a beautiful lullaby — to grab everybody’s ears and then go, All right, but I’m not really about to go into the gunfight.

The two West Coast titans performed “Still D.R.E.” and “California Love” before Dre quieted the roaring crowd by calling for a moment of silence.

After Lamar performed his verse from Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That,” he brought out Dr. Dre — his longtime mentor and collaborator — to perform his classic hits “Still D.R.E.” and “California Love.”

Towards the end of the show, which was streamed live on Amazon, Lamar brought out West Coast rap legend Dr Dre, acting as his hype-man on raucous versions of Still D.R.E. and California Love.
