"Been There, Done That" is a song byWest Coast rapper and producerDr. Dre, released on September 1, 1996 as the secondsingle from the compilation album,Dr. Dre Presents: The Aftermath.
The song was produced by Dre himself and features co-production fromBud'da. The lyrics were written by former Death Row Records labelmate,J-Flexx. After Dre's departure from the label, J-Flexx released a diss song on theDeath Row Greatest Hits compilation titled "Who Been There, Who Done That". The song was referenced at the end of "Guilty Conscience" byEminem, which was a collaboration with Dre. background vocalist Dorothy Coleman and Barbara Wilson.
Mosi Reeves from Rolling Stone said: “Fans respected Dre’s call to renounce violence and focus on making money, but “Been There, Done That” didn’t quite resonate with them like his earlier work.” and added: “Been There, Done That” is an early example of what would later be called “grown-man rap,” and as rap stars age and try to reconcile their maturity with their hellion public images, it deserves a special place in the Dre canon.”[3]
Dr. Dre performed the song live onSaturday Night Live on October 26, 1996.
