"'Been There, Done That'" is the second single by West Coast rapper and producer Dr. Dre from the compilation album 'Dr. Dre Presents the Aftermath'.

Background and reception



The song was produced by Dre himself and features co-production from Bud'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 the 'Death Row Greatest Hits' compilation titled "Who Been There, Who Done That". The song was referenced at the end of "Guilty Conscience" by Eminem, which was a collaboration with Dre. background vocalist Dorothy Coleman and Barbara Wilson.

Mosi Reeves from Rolling Stone said: Fans respected Dres call to renounce violence and focus on making money, but Been There, Done That didnt 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.
