I know, I know, another Chronic thread.
But watching this Death Row Records Chronicles documentary on BET is like a trip down memory lane!
It's a lot of great Hip Hop albums, but that 1 is truly in a league of it's own, bruhs.
Just off impact alone, ain't nothing really and truly fukking with that album.
Album changed the whole scene of Hip Hop all over from coast to coast.
If u was around when it came out, u know how ground breaking the shyt was.

They could make another Chronic tomorrow.


Sometimes the only way to move forward is to go back.

It is really that simple, though.

You can duplicate that feeling; that idea...

They're will never be another chronic

Samples these days are damn near the whole album budget now

I have a theory most 90s rappers and producers can't really make hits without those samples

well a "hit" today is classified as songs that are played repeatedly. Not necessarily good songs because they come and go. they're played constatnly for 3 or 4 months and never heard from again. I can sit here and write a 10 page paper why things are like that but I aint go the time so I'll try to sum it up as quickly as possible with what I'm always saying. Labels sell artists today, not music. What you guys think is a "hit" , you have labels, magazines, and radio all working together to present something to the public as great. There are really only 6 record labels in music and to get a sample cleared you must clear it with the publishing owner and copyright owner. Being that damn near all of these labels own the masters to the songs that their artists are sometimes sampling there is no reason that fee shouldn't be waived but it's just a way to keep artists broke. An example is Nas clearing "human nature" for "it aint hard to tell" and how easy it was being that his label Columbia and Epic were under the same Sony umbrella. shyt is designed the way it is to b*stardize hip hop music because it was getting too powerful. It's really that simple.

Chronic used a lot of samples but it didn't do Public Enemy type shyt. Bomb Squad were using 15-20 samples per song on some joints. That's ridiculous.
