Still D.R.E. was released in 1999 as the lead single from Dr. Dre's album 2001, featuring Snoop Dogg, and its opening piano riff quickly became one of hip-hop's most recognisable sounds. Over the following decades the intro travelled far beyond radio, appearing in films, adverts and countless online edits where its slow build signals confidence and style. On TikTok and in meme culture it is now shorthand for a cool entrance or a return to form, which is why a twenty-second clip still feels instantly familiar even to listeners who do not know the full song.

This clip captures the opening piano riff of Still D.R.E., a sparse, instantly recognisable melody played over a slow, heavy hip-hop beat. The notes are clean and unhurried, building anticipation before the bass drops in, and that calm confidence is exactly why it lands so well in short videos.
