很難相信有友情能超越種族隔閡到如此地步，特別是在美國這種黑、白人對立的情況下。三K黨、白人至上主義在美國都不是玩笑，有人認為那已經是過去式，但在檯面下其實還是進行式，就像印度的種姓制度一樣，廢了是廢了，但大家就是來那一套。
想當初阿姆想打進rap這個以黑人為主的圈子裡，起步時肯定是沒人鳥他的。一如他在電影裡扮演的自己一樣，他掙扎、痛苦、而且找不到出路，如果只是繼續混噩下去，遲早也是向現實低頭，只得中斷音樂夢找份工作養自己，但感謝上天，Dr.dre發現了他，而且獨排眾議的將一個白人拉進了這個圈子裡，以自己的名聲幫他擔保。Dr.dre自從發掘了他之後，十幾年間只出過幾首歌，最後在2012出了一張告別作。試想你是一位日進斗金的大歌手，你會願意為一個默默無名的小卒睹上一把嗎？
Dr.dre敢，而且還將之視如己出，就算是在阿姆因攻擊麥克傑克森而被大家幹譙，意志消沉的那幾年間，你也不曾見他拋棄阿姆。如果不是他，我們不會有阿姆與蕾哈娜的合作曲可以聽，Till I collapse、When I gone這種省人深思的歌也不會出現在世上。挺兄弟挺到底，重情重義的漢子說的就是這種人。MV裡出現很多當初Dr.dre還在NWA時期的片段，片尾他所跪的墳墓就是當時的團員之一E.W.的墳。

註1 其實Dr.dre的Dr並不是代表醫生 但是個雙關語 一方面是說阿姆需要Dr.dre 一方面是說他需要個醫生來救救他
註2 因為黑人在這圈子裡比較吃香，所以不會有因意志消沉而吸食毒品的情況，這邊阿姆是在諷刺那群人不像他當初有過吸毒的消沉時期
註3 生涯初期dre給了阿姆很多靈感跟點子，幫他創作歌曲，而dre本來大可拿這些點子再去出個幾張專輯自己賺到爽，但他選擇拉年輕人一把。
註4 連體褲一般多為女性穿著，有興趣可以GOOGLE看看，這邊也可以算是Dre在笑阿姆當初穿得很娘。
註5 就像吸煙一樣，一但走進這圈子，就再也戒不掉了。
註6 Slim shady 指的是阿姆
