There's clearly hostile subtext between Dre and Tone. Tone is the one calling Dre, specifically to check up on his activities and whereabouts.

>>Tone: Damn nigga you just hit a liq or som'thin one day you on hubb caps the next day u on twenty sixes

The dangerous undertone to Tone's statement is obvious, as he darkly comments on the sudden meteoric rise of Dre's wealth, as displayed by the new 26" rims he's just installed on his cadillac. Dre immediately downplays his recent windfall, saying it's merely "nuthn", then after a pregnant pause simply says that he has to remain focused - presumably against the incursions of prospective rival drug dealers, such as Tone himself.

Under the guise of friendship, Tone darkly echoes Dre's fears with a threatening "All da time" in response.

Disturbed by the exchange - or, perhaps disgusted by Tone's nonchalant passive-aggression - Dre immediately makes up the excuse that his phone requires charging, and hangs up.
