The song being played on Smokey's car while Smokey and Craig were about to go to a store was performed by Dr. Dre, a former member of N.W.A. just like Ice Cube (Craig). It is also remembered that Dr. Dre, along with other N.W.A. members, were once dissed by Ice Cube through his rap "No Vaseline", though during the making of this movie, they had already settled their differences.
