The Chronic (30th Anniversary Edition)

Legendary 7X Grammy and Emmy Award-winning artist / producer Dr. 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. 

With its stylish, sonically detailed production, Dr. Dre's 1992 solo debut, The Chronic, transformed the entire sound of West Coast rap. 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. What's impressive is that Dre crafts tighter singles than his inspiration, George Clinton - he's just as effortlessly funky, and he has a better feel for a hook, a knack that improbably landed gangsta rap on the pop charts. But none of The Chronic's legions of imitators were as rich in personality, and that's due in large part to Dre's monumental discovery, Snoop Doggy Dogg. Snoop livens up every track he touches, sometimes just by joining in the chorus.
