Hello is the first single from Ice Cube's sixth studio album War & Peace - Volume 2 (The Peace Disc). The song is an N.W.A reunion featuring former bandmates Dr. Dre & MC Ren. The lyrics to the infectious chorus are
"I started this gangsta shit. And this the muthafuckin' thanks I get?!"
This line was later quoted on Dr. Dre's song "The Watcher", from the album 2001.
Although the single wasn't a huge hit, in part because Dr. Dre's comeback album Chronic 2001 was dominating hip-hop radio, "Hello" is considered by some to be a classic.
The song can be found as a bonus track, along with "Chin Check," on N.W.A's re-released The N.W.A Legacy Vol. 2.
