Bitches Ain't Shit

"Bitches Ain't Shit" is a song by Dr. Dre from his 1992 album The Chronic.

Dr. Dre's original version

"Bitches Ain't Shit" features West Coast hip hop, gangsta rap, and g-funk, much like the rest of Dr. Dre's album The Chronic. The song reminisces about Dr. Dre's former N.W.A band-mate Eazy-E (under his real name of "Eric Wright") and his manager Jerry Heller. It is part of the Ruthless/Death Row feud. The song features Daz Dillinger, Kurupt, Snoop Dogg, and Jewell.

The track was not listed on the first edition of The Chronic. The album was re-released in 2001 with the track listed.
