Tough and uncompromising, a sophisticated album with a game changing concept, The Chronic took the West Coast sound from a regional phenomena and made it global, selling more than six million copies. His enormous set was star-studded, as Dre performed alongside some of music's biggest stars, including Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J.

The Chronic' is Dr Dre's debut studio album, originally released December 15, 1992 through his own record label, Death Row Records. Dre's groundbreaking album "The Chronic" revolutionized hip-hop with its G-funk sound and gritty storytelling. Dre celebrates the 30th anniversary of his magnum opus, The Chronic by announcing the album will be re-released by its original distributor, Interscope Records which worked The Chronic in 1992 via its relationship with Death Row Records.

Dre celebrates the 30th anniversary of his magnum opus, The Chronic re-released by its original distributor, Interscope Records who worked The Chronic in 1992 via its relationship with Death Row Records. Interscope Records, founded in 1990, subverted the musical landscape by introducing culture shaping artists across the full spectrum of contemporary music. Recording sessions for the album took place in June 1992 at Death Row Studios in Los Angeles and at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood. I remember having this in my schooldays and coming home and playing back what is track 5 on vinyl 2.

He sounds utterly unaffected by anything, no matter how extreme, which sets the tone for the album's misogyny, homophobia, and violence. It was the centrepiece of the Death Row label’s output and brought great success upon its release in 1992. Here Dre established his patented G-funk sound: fat, blunted Parliament-Funkadelic beats, soulful backing vocals, and live instruments in the rolling basslines and whiny synths. To have this album at Interscope once again where we work with Dre and his amazing team at Aftermath day in and day out is incredibly gratifying for me personally and all of us at Interscope.Working alongside my longtime colleagues, Steve Berman and John Janick, to re-release the album and make it available to fans all over the world is a full circle moment for me,” said Dr. Some highlights include Dre's smooth production, iconic tracks like "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" and "Let Me Ride," Snoop Dogg's charismatic debut, the album's commentary on West Coast gang culture, and its impact on shaping the future of rap music.

The LP blazed a trail for G-funk, lighting the way for a flurry of West Coast hip-hop artists to follow, as well as going to number three on the Billboard 200 chart.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Das Album kann auf ganzer Albumlänge super unterhalten, wie die großartigen G-Funk Beats und die Texte.

I feel that people who say this started G-Funk didn't listen to Niggaz4Life by NWA, which had a lot of the beginings of this production style by Dre. Originally released in 1992, 'The Chronic' featured early appearances from Snoop Dogg and marked Dre’s first solo release after parting ways with N. The replacement arrived in the same chintzy mailer as my first copy, but much to my surprise, it was in NM condition when I opened it. We take our responsibility to Dre and his amazing body of work very seriously and we are honored to work closely with him on this re-release of one of the most important albums of all time.
