let's take it back to 99'; your 1st reactions to dr. dre's 2001

[nose hair]

the 1 thing i remember bout this cd is buyin' both this and redman & method man's blackout! cd the same day
blackout! had come out a couple of months before but i remember me and my cousin paid half n half for both
i got this muthafukka from the old cd store willie's back in the day!
my cousin mom use to have this nice stereo system so the minute we got back on home we put that shyt on
i couldn't believe just how great the album sounded, everythin' bout it was so clean and crisp
precision is a must with a dr. dre record. the vocals, the beats, the production, just all crystal clear
"fukk you" and "bytch nikkas" were instant favorites. i played them 2 non stop, lol
it wasn't the chronic but it was a step back in the right direction of his aftermath compilation

what did you think about this album when it came out?

Can't recall my initial reaction to it but it's obviously a classic album. Look at that tracklist man who doesn't fukk with shyt like "The Next Episode" or "Still D.R.E." I listen to it to this day.

this album, The Chronic and No Way Out are the reasons I rap today.

[Jean Jacket]

Production value.

Sonically ahead of its time.

Still Dre still slaps.

nikka i went to the store with my boy from Watts. bought the album and invited the homies and a couple of hoes to party and listen to the album. nikkas was playing spades, dominoes, hoes was shaking what they mama gave them, we had nikkas pulling up in 63-64 impalas. i had fukk this hoe named Keisha too, she had a real ole ghetto booty.

That No Way Out is so fukking fiah I was real young but I knew it was classic.. 2001 though I play it like it's brand new at time.. Mel Man and Hitman had the best rhymes on this muthafukka

I was too busy bumping Kurupts The Streets Iz A Mutha




I love the song The Watcher though

 

[Mike Ock]

I used to really love the first half if this album back in the days. But now i'm 33. I kinda cringe at the subject matter for a majority of the album. Production was on point though.

Daz and Kurupt.. KURPUT and Daz nickels and pennies and pounds of hash.. Double up dough double my money.. Make it boil and flip get a grip aint nothing funny.. U can't survive off no conversation and words.. I miss being a young nikka with all this classic shyt at my disposal.. Another classic
