[edit] Dr. Dre's original version

"Bitches Ain't Shit" features West Coast hip hop, gangsta rap, and g-funk, much like the rest of Dr. Dre's highly influential album The Chronic. The song disses Dr. Dre's former N.W.A. band-mate Eazy-E (under his real name of "Eric Wright") and his manager Jerry Heller. It is part of the Ruthless/Death Row feud. The song features Daz Dillinger, Kurupt, Snoop Dogg, and Jewell.

The track wasn't listed on the first edition of The Chronic. The album was reproduced in 2001 with the track listed.
