Brehs, I know this ain't an original thought but for real. I hadn't listened to this in a minute. Put it on tonight. Just a different energy than anything else before or since

I'm :flabbynsick:, a loving father, living comfy in the suburbs. But once that beat drop at 0:08 on the Intro, it's different. In my head I turn back into the most knuckleheaded teenaged version of myself combined Superman from the Hood. Driving down Slauson in a 64 with the mean mug :birdman:

Seen it on here recently, Dre a fraud. Can't rap, can't produce, don't write his rhymes. OK, so make another Chronic. Anybody :yeshrug:

Feel like Daz, Quik, and Warren G could've easily made another Chronic musically.

Dre just had more hype coming off of NWA and being signed to Death Row and he had Snoop as the perfect complimentary rapper.

Snoop, Dogg Pound and Warren G all dropped classics. Doggystyle probably a better album than Chronic in a vacuum, but it's an extension of the same vibe and Dre was all over it

Doggystyle and 2001 really the only ones that captured the same vibe, energy and matched the impact. So, what the common denominator?

The Chronic is like watching a hood flick on Tubi. Nothing else on, so might as well hit play on the Fire Stick and get my Menace on.

Just turn down the volume when you are on the intersection of Harlem with those first two tracks :huhldup:

None of them would've been able to do what Dre did with The Chronic.

Dre picked right back up where he left off on his previous albums, with taking samples and breaks and melding them together to sound like they were all from one original composition. Few producers in Hip Hop, with the exception of Q-Tip and probably Dilla, can take 5-6 different records and make a track that sounds like it's all one sample. If Warren, Quik and Daz could do something even remotely close to what Dre did with that album, they would've by now, 30+ years later.

Dude is the GOAT for a reason. When they asked Daz if he produced tracks on Doggystyle, he said, "That's all Dre. He's a genius, I couldn't do that sh*t". Daz was bringing in Dre to mix the Dogg Pound sh*t to make it sound on the level of Dre's work. Nobody can do what Dre does. We hear people claiming they can all day, but we still haven't seen anything that can f*ck with it.

Breh, these dudes want us to believe Dre a fraud when he was the main producer on every NWA album, The Chronic, Doggystyle, 2001 and had a heavy hand in Slim Shady LP, MMLP, Restless, GRODT and The Documentary, not to mention multiple one off megahit s and everything else

Can someone teach me to be that kind of hack? lmao

Truth.

They do it with every legend in Hip Hop. They watch these dudes pull off classic sh*t for 20-30 years, and then try to convince everyone that it's all fake, lol. Hip Hop seriously has the most envious and weird fanbases than any other genre. Dudes seem very uncomfortable with giving respect and credit where it's due, in this culture. When you become too successful, they start trying to discredit you. It's wild.

Only Daz made beats as hard as production on The Chronic.

I’ve never heard a *hard Warren G or Quik beat in my life.

*hard as is the chronic intro, high powered, lyrical gangbang, etc.
