Eddie Griffin spoke at length with DJ Vlad about working with Dr. Dre on Chronic 2001, which Eddie told us came together the night after he celebrated the producer's birthday. He explained that Dre got him drunk in the studio in attempt to recreate Eddie's mood from the previous night, which the comedian said was a success. The Undercover Brother actor told us that he was riled up and ready to go once Dre sent him in the booth, where he churned out the skit "Bar One," which first coined the popular term, "thirsty."

Eddie also spoke about his relationship with 2Pac during the conversation, and he agreed with DJ Vlad saying that none of the rappers today are as politically outspoken as the late "Dear Mama" rapper. The comedian then clarified his statement by adding that "nobody is daring [to speak out], it's not that they can't."
