When Dr. Dre Called: Devin the Dude’s “2001” Story

The Phone Call He Didn’t Believe

Devin has told the story a few times: Dr. Dre reached out while building 2001. A Rap-A-Lot contact warned Devin that Dre would call his house—then the phone rang. Devin picked up, still skeptical it was really him. The voice on the other end? “Do what the f— you wanna do,” a nod Devin instantly recognized before joking back, “Yo Dre, kick in the bass!” HipHopDX+1

Inside the Session

When Devin arrived, Dre played through a stack of instrumentals (“like 107” by Devin’s count) on a DAT. Devin kept reacting to one number—12—which became “F*** You,” a standout cut on 2001. He wrote and tracked the hook there, in the room. HipHopDX

Why It Mattered

The moment bridged two power centers: West Coast precision and Houston’s conversational storytelling. Dre already knew Devin’s Odd Squad work—proof the respect was real and pre-existing. The cameo helped elevate Devin’s profile while keeping his laid-back, everyman voice intact. HipHopDX

Bonus Context: Houston Roots

Devin’s lane was shaped earlier with Odd Squad (Devin, Rob Quest, Jugg Mugg) and Houston’s chopped-and-screwed ecosystem, where DJ Screw even DJ’d the demo that helped Odd Squad get signed. That slow-rolled sensibility—space, patience, detail—made Devin a perfect fit for Dre’s surgical studio approach.

F.A.Q.

What is Coughee by Devin the Dude?

Coughee is Devin the Dude’s boutique collection of premium, coffee-inspired cannabis—crafted for the smoothest vibes and the highest quality experience.

What is THCA?

THCA (Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid) is the raw form of THC found in cannabis. When heated (like when you smoke or vape), it converts into delta 9 THC—the stuff that gets you lifted.

Is THCA legal?

Yep, as long as it comes from hemp and stays under 0.3% Delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis, it’s federally legal. But some states have their own rules, so check your local laws. We only ship to compliant states.

Will THCA get me high?

Once you light it up, it turns into THC and does its thing. So yeah, if you heat it, you’ll feel it.

How do I store my Coughee?

Keep it cool, dark, and sealed. Just like your favorite coffee beans, freshness matters.

Where can I buy Coughee?

Check out goodcoughee.com for drops, locations, and all the good stuff.

Can I travel with THCA flower?

Depends. State-to-state? Maybe. Airport security? Probably not. Play it safe and check local laws before you roll out.

Is Coughee packaging really compostable?

Yep! No waste, no worries. We partner with Seward Solutions to develop our eco-friendly, commercially compostable packaging—because only losers litter.

About Coughee – by Devin the Dude

ChatGPT said:

The Coughee Code: Real Roots, Real Culture

“Coughee” started as a code word and became a culture. Long before it was a cannabis label, it was a Houston state of mind—music, friendship, and a smoke-session language that Devin the Dude and his circle carried from studios to stages. Today, Coughee stands for that same ritual: unhurried, observant, funny, and real.

From Odd Squad to Coughee Brothaz

The story begins with Odd Squad—the trio of Devin the Dude, Rob Quest, and Jugg Mugg—who rose out of Houston’s ’90s rap scene with humor, soul, and weed-warm storytelling. As the era progressed, Odd Squad morphed into the Coughee Brothaz—a clique and extended family of artists, producers, and friends united by in-jokes, grooves, and the shared language of “Coughee.”

DJ Screw, the Demo, and Houston DNA

No Houston story is complete without DJ Screw, whose chopped-and-screwed approach rewired Southern hip-hop. Screw was the demo DJ for Odd Squad, embedding the crew in Houston’s deeper cultural current—slow tempo, rich storytelling, everyday life celebrated in sound.

“Coughee” as Euphemism → “Coughee” as Culture

Within the crew, “Coughee” became the discreet code for weed—how you signaled the session without saying too much. Over time it became more than slang: a vibe, a ritual, a way of being that shows up in conversations, hooks, and Devin’s laid-back cadence.

Devin and the Cloud Committee

Coughee wasn’t built as a big-business licensing deal—it was developed by people who live hip-hop and cannabis culture. Manny and Vinny co-founded Seward Solutions and The Cloud Committee together with Devin. The Cloud Committee was originally founded as a California Prop 215 medical collective; it has since evolved into a brand development house and is now a co-creator of Coughee with Devin. Seward Solutions develops the brand’s fully sustainable packaging.

What “Coughee” Means Today

“Coughee” is still a code word—but now it’s also a brand built on the same authenticity that made it legend. It’s an open invitation: light one, pour one, relax, and connect. And it’s a commitment to do it responsibly—with packaging and practices that respect the environment.

Because at the end of the day, Coughee isn’t just what you smoke—it’s how you live.

Wake up and smell the Coughee.

Because only losers litter.

At Coughee – by Devin the Dude, we care about what goes in your bag—and the bag itself. While most cannabis brands are stacking up plastic waste by the ton, we’re rolling a little different. Our goal is simple: top-shelf product, bottom-line impact.

That’s why every Coughee package—from our flower pouches to our preroll tubes—is made with commercially compostable materials. Not “kinda green.” Not “recyclable-ish.” Fully compostable.

The Plastic Problem in Cannabis

Let’s be real: the cannabis industry has a plastic problem. Between pop-tops, jars, shrink wrap, exit bags, and everything in between, millions of single-use containers hit landfills every month. And most of them claim to be recyclable—but aren’t, especially once they’re contaminated or mixed with foil and ink.

So we asked ourselves: If our products help you feel good, shouldn’t they be good for the planet too?

What Makes Our Packaging Different

Our bags and tubes are made with the help of Seward Solutions, a sustainability-minded company born out of South Minneapolis and co-founded by the same folks helping to build Coughee. Together, we’ve developed fully compostable solutions—down to the ink.

Here’s what that means:
✔ Bags are 100% commercially compostable (including the zipper, foil lining, and adhesive)
✔ Non-toxic, compostable ink used for all printing
✔ No petroleum plastics or greenwashing terms
✔ Pre-roll tubes are also 100% compostable—yes, even the cap

Our packaging breaks down in commercial composting environments, returning to the earth instead of piling up in it. And the best part? It still keeps your flower fresh, protected, and looking good.

Sustainability Shouldn’t Be an Afterthought

At Coughee, we believe in doing things the right way—even if it takes more work. Whether it’s crafting quality products or choosing better packaging, we’re not cutting corners or chasing trends. We’re building a brand that reflects our values—laid-back, community-rooted, and mindful of the future.

Because the only thing we want to leave behind is a good vibe.

TL;DR

  • Cannabis creates a ton of plastic waste

  • Coughee uses fully compostable bags and preroll tubes

  • Our packaging is made in partnership with Seward Solutions

  • We use plant-based, non-toxic materials—no greenwashing

  • It’s better for the planet, and still keeps your smoke fresh

Good weed deserves a good wrapper. Compost it, don’t trash it.
Only losers litter.
