Songfacts®:

• "From The D 2 The LBC" finds Eminem and Snoop Dogg shouting out their respective home cities, Detroit, Michigan and Long Beach, California.
• During the intro and his verse, Eminem talks about laying down the track in Long Beach while Snoop smokes his trademark weed. Snoop's verse finds him flexing his business acumen before reflecting on how far both he and Eminem have come.
• On the chorus, Eminem references both home cities' area codes. He calls on the people of Los Angeles (213) to raise their blunts in celebration and those of Detroit (313) to fire their guns.
• "This probably should have happened a while ago," Em raps at the start of the song. The previous time the two were on a song together was when they appeared in tandem with Dr. Dre, Nate Dogg and Xzibit on "Bitch Please II" from Eminem's 2000 album The Marshall Mathers LP. They also performed along with Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar and Mary J. Blige as part of the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show. However, this is the first time Em and Snoop have released a song with no other artists.
• The team-up served as confirmation the two Dr. Dre protégés and longtime friends had squashed their 2020 beef. The animosity stemmed from a Snoop interview in July 2020 on The Breakfast Club, where he attributed much of Eminem's success to Dr. Dre and omitted him from his Top 10 list of the greatest rappers. Em responded by throwing some shade at the West Coast legend on his Music To Be Murdered By: Side B track "Zeus."
  
  Snoop later apologized, and in an October 2021 interview with The Breakfast Club, he explained that he got annoyed after Eminem declined his offer to appearing on an album.
• The two rappers wrote "From The D 2 The LBC" with Luis Resto and Cordell Broadus. Em has worked closely with Detroit musician Luis Resto since his third major-label album, The Eminem Show. Cordell Broadus is Snoop's son. His previous credits include Anderson Paak's 2018 team-up with Snoop, "Anywhere."
  
  Eminem is the sole producer of the track.
• Eminem and Snoop performed "From The D 2 The LBC" live for the first time on June 23, 2022 during ApeFest at New York's Pier 17.
• The James Larese-directed animated music video finds Em and Snoop transforming from human into Bored Ape-looking avatars.
