No. It was Focus (the Atlanta-based record producer who first rose to fame when signed to Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment) who made it.
However, the song contains the following lyrics that have caused some confusion regarding the identity of its original producer:
I'm a dog, hound, Crestside clown

Gig so hard make my pants fall down

This beat pounds, cutty where'd you get it?

Oh you ain't know, Dr. Dre did it

This line is merely a joke; as many know, Dr. Dre did not produce the beat.
The line aims to reflect the overall theme of the song—being silly and humorous, and attempting to make the audience laugh.
Focus (born Bernard Edwards, Jr.) has produced tracks for several artists, including the late rapper Mac Dre.
When asked if it is frustrating, as a producer, to not receive proper recognition for his creations (in an interview with Dubcnn.com), Focus responded:
It kills me, man, no lie. I have so many tracks out that people thought Dre did that I got tired of correcting them. I figure, if people truly want to know, then they will read the credits. I produced Mac Dre's "Get Stupid," but in the song, Mac says Dre produced it. 'Conglomerate' was another one people attributed to Dre. Yes, it irks me, but it comes with running with a legend, I guess.
