welly
Pada awal bulan Februari kemaren, dirilislah sebuah single yang digadang-gadang berasal dari album terakhir seorang Dr. Dre. Single ini menampilkan Eminem dan Skylar Grey di dalamnya, dikasih judul 'I Need A Doctor', yang seolah menjadi penyambutan atas kembali berkaryanya sang dokter. Berhubung kali terakhir kemunculannya sebagai performer di awal dekade 2000-2009 kemarin. Selain menggabungkan tiga nama di atas, Alex Da Kid pun punya andil yang besar disini. Dia ikut dalam penulisan lagu dan proses produksinya.
Setiap mereka punya peranan masing-masing dalam menampilkan lagu ini. Durasi 4 menit 43 detik dibagi ke dalam bagian-bagian seperti hook oleh Skyler Gray, 2 verse pertama oleh Eminem, dan verse terakhir oleh Dr. Dre. Dan dari bahan baku demikian, banyak yang memuji kesempurnaan lagu ini. Pertama, atas kehadiran produser yang cerdas dan tangkas Alex Da Kid seperti jaminan mutu atas kualitas single ini. Kedua, vokal Skylar Grey yang benar-benar sedap didengar saat menyanyikan bagiannya. Juga keistimewaan yang dibawa dalam rap masing-masing Em dan Dre.
Klik link video di bawah untuk menyaksikan presentase visual atas lagu ini ini yang disutradari oleh Allen Hughes yang sejauh ini udah mencetak angka view lebih dari 15 juta di YouTube. Ini adalah prestasi yang menyenangkan dari seorang Dr.Dre, dimana dia lebih dari 11 tahun menggodok album studio ketiganya "Detox" yang diharapkan rilis pada 20 April mendatang. Tapi ini juga sekaligus pemanasan yang sangat berarti bagi seorang Skylar Grey, karena barengan Interscope dia juga akan merilis album. Album ini juga dikerjakan bareng produser kepercayaan, Alex Da Kid.
Apapun bahasannya, jatuh-jatuhnya akan pada pujian bertubi-tubi terhadap lagu ini. 'I Need A Doctor' bukanlah lagu hip-hop biasa, karena bisa jadi dalam liriknya kamu menemukan kesan tersendiri yang betul-betul mengena. Oleh karena itu, kita ajak untuk menyimak lagu keren ini bareng-bareng disini.

Lyrics:
[Chorus - Skylar Grey]
I'm about to lose my mind
You've been gone for so long
I'm running out of time
I need a doctor
Call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
To bring me back to life
[Eminem]
I told the World one day I would pay it back
Say it on tape, and lay it, record it
So that one day I could play it back
But I don't even know if I believe it when I'm saying that
Doubt's starting to creep in, everyday its just so grey and black
Hope, I just need a ray of that
Cause no one see's my vision when I play it for 'em
They just say its whack
They don't know what dope is
And I don't know if I was awake or asleep
When I wrote this,
All I know is you came to me when I was at my lowest
You picked me up, breathed new life in me
I owe my life to you
Before the life of me, I don't see why you don't see like I do
But it just dawned on me you lost a son,
Demons fightin' you, it's dark.
Let me turn on the lights and brighten me and enlighten you
I don't think you realize what you mean to me
Not the slightest clue
Cause me and you were like a crew
I was like your sidekick
You gon either wanna fight me when I get off this fucking mic
Or you gon hug me
But I'm out of options, there's nothing else I can do cause...
[Chorus - Skylar Grey]
I'm about to lose my mind
You've been gone for so long
I'm running out of time
I need a doctor
Call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
To bring me back to life
[Eminem]
It hurts when I see you struggle
You come to me with ideas
You say there just pieces so I'm puzzled
Cause the shit I hear is crazy
But your either getting lazy or you don't believe in you no more
Seems like your own opinions, not one you can form
Cant make a decision you keep questioning yourself
Second guessing and its almost like your begging for my help
Like I'm your leader
Your supposed to fucking be my mentor
I can endure no more,
I demand you remember who you are
It was YOU, who believed in me
When everyone was telling you don't sign me
Everyone at the fucking label, lets tell the truth
You risked your career for me
I know it as well as you
Nobody wanted to fuck with the white boy
Dre, I'm crying in this booth
You saved my life, now maybe its my turn to save yours
But I can never repay you, what you did for me is way more
But I ain't giving up faith and you ain't giving up on me
Get up Dre, I'm dying, I need you, come back for fuck's sake cause
[Chorus - Skylar Grey]
I'm about to lose my mind
You've been gone for so long
I'm running out of time
I need a doctor
Call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
To bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
(I need a doctor, doctor
to bring me back to life)
[Dr Dre]
It literally feels like a lifetime ago
But I still remember the shit like it was just yesterday, though
You walked in, yellow jump suit
Whole room, cracked jokes
Once you got inside the booth, told you, like smoke
Went through friends, some of them I put on
But they just left, they said they was riding to the death
But where the fuck are they now
Now that I need them, I don't see none of them
All I see is Slim
Fuck all you fair-weather friends
All I need is him
Fucking backstabbers
When the chips were down you just laughed at us
Now you bout to feel the fucking wrath of aftermath, faggots
You gon see us in our lab jackets and ask where the fuck we been?
You can kiss my indecisive ass crack,
Maggots and the crackers ass
Little crack a jack beat making whack math,
Backwards producers, I'm back bastards
One more CD and then I'm packing up my bags and as I'm leaving
I'll guarantee they scream 'Dre don't leave us like that man' cause...
[Chorus- Skylar Grey]
I'm about to lose my mind
You've been gone for so long
I'm running out of time
I need a doctor
Call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
To bring me back to life
