A sample: The song was produced by Dre with Mel-Man, with Camara Kambon and Scott Storch on keyboards, who created the famous piano riff.

In Popular Culture

* The song "Still D.R.E" was used by producer Antoine Fuqua in his 2001 movie, Training Day. It is featured in a scene in the first half hour of the film which involves characters Alonzo Harris (Denzel Washington) and his new narcotics recruit, Jake Hoyte (Ethan Hawke). The two characters get into Harris's undercover car, after Harris tells him that they'll spend most of the day in the office, Hoyte inquires if "the office" is back at division, to which Harris replies "You're in the office, baby." At this point, the song's familiar piano line makes a profound entrance as the Chevrolet Monte Carlo's hydraulics lift the front and back of the car. The track continues to play as they cruise down the LA streets [www.youtube.com/watch?v=InPoPRfqNWM] . Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre later make appearances as characters in the film.

* The song can be heard during one scene in Hour 6 of the Naval documentary, Carrier.

* The song is mentioned in of the sitcom Scrubs.

* The song is currently used in the TV ad for the British Newspaper, The Independent.
