The Chronic

Not a fan of the blatant and unrelenting mysogony of the record and rhymes, but undeniably one of the most important hip hop records of all time.

Dre, Snoop, calm and relaxed long beach beats and rhymes and the ever present synth tributes to P Funk

    This is what rap should be. The Chronic and Chronic 2001 are both monumental rap albums.

    Fuck this new clubbing music garbage.

    Hip Hop / Rap was ace back in the day.
    From the late 70's to the early 90's.
    Since then, it is dominated by bling bling chick banging morons, not about the message anymore.

    This is a fucking classic album, don't care who you are. I discovered it late, but I love it.

    I prefer modern rap by far. Run DMC, Tribe Called Quest, etc... they had their moments, but they're all to the best hip hop what Buddy Holly and Elvis were to the Beatles and Led Zeppelin. I respect what they did and their contributions and trailblazing, but they were stepping stones to help form the genre that later artists took to much greater heights. Artists like Snoop and Dre, Nas, Wu Tang, Common, Kanye...

    "The Chronic" is great, but "Doggystyle" is even better in my opinion. I'm not much of a rap fan, but I do enjoy some of the gangsta rap of the early 90s (Dr. Dre, Snoop Doggy Dogg, 2Pac, Ice Cube, The Notorious B.I.G., and Puff Daddy).

    I grew up listening to this album and still do from time to time now. It aged very nicely.
