The Next Episode is a single by Dr. Dre released in 2000 from his album 2001, which was released in 1999. It features Snoop Dogg, Kurupt and Nate Dogg. It was the third single from 2001 and peaked at number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100. It sold 146,570 copies between 2001 and 2002 in the UK according to Chartfacts.
This single's title harkens back to Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's classic smash hit "Nuthin' But a "G" Thang" from Dre's 1992 solo debut The Chronic in which Snoop Dogg instructs listeners at the end of the chorus, "So just chill, 'til the next episode," which in fact did not refer to this single but its predecessor, a leftover song from 1993 originally recorded for Doggystyle, but unincluded in its final version.[1]
The song's main sample interpolates David McCallum's "The Edge," borrowing from a brief segment at the beginning of the song, a phrase that is not repeated elsewhere in the song.
The song was sampled by R&B trio City High for their 2001 hit "What Would You Do."
It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 2001 for Dre and Snoop.
