Dr Dre's Chronic 2001 turns 20 Tomorrow and...

[DaHNIC82]

It still sounds as sharp as ever.. This was the album that resurrected the West on a mainstream level. Then Eminem blowing up added more to the equation. I rememeber when I first seen Still DRE and was like yeah... Dre and Snoop back together



Then it followed up with one banger after another...Fukk You, The Watcher XXXPlosive with Kurupt going on a angry tangent because his heart was broke over Foxxxy, Light Speed, The Next Episode, Whats the Difference... The whole album was a fukking banger.

Detox was never gonna top this album

That THX intro.

And the rest as they say is history.

Not a smartphone on sight. Great performers, great energy, timeless hits, a crunk crowd. You'll never get this energy again

I remember buying 2001 and Streetz Iz A Mutha on the same day, good times

2001 is overrated

2001 is overrated

I might be the only nikka in the world that was underwhelmed when I first heard it. Some classic tracks but outside of LA nikkaz, I found most of the 2nd half unlistenable. The Chronic is still his masterwork with nikkaz4life being a strong second.

This was the hip hop album that properly walked us into the new millennium.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Such a great album with a sound that still holds up today, and better than so much of Dre's production since this came out.

I'm fitting to do a 'Streetz Iz A Mutha...' 20th anniversary thread tomorrow

 

[Cagny]

There isn’t any hip hop album that aged better than 2001

doggystyle the only one that comes close

 

[DonDadda]

Dre and Snoop were untouchable as a duo
