    Released in 1992, The Chronic was the first solo album from Dr. Dre after he formed Death Row Records w/ Suge Knight. It featured Dr. Dre producing the beats & music, as well as rapping on many tracks. The album also featured rappers Snoop Doggy Dogg(now Snoop Dogg), Dat Nigga Daz, Kurupt, RBX, Lady of Rage, Nate Dogg, & others. Dr. Dre was assisted w/ production on The Chronic from rapper/producer D.O.C., whose album (No One Can Do It Better) Dr. Dre had produced a few years earlier. The Chronic was Dr. Dre's first time to fully shine as a solo artist, although the album actually featured many artists on the Death Row Records label. The G-Funk sound was first introduced to the mainstream public through Dr. Dre's album: The Chronic. The Chronic featured popular tracks such as Nuthin But a G Thang, Let Me Ride, Fuck Wit Dre Day(And Everybody's Celebratin), Lil Ghetto Boy, & the "stoner" classic entitled The Roach. The Roach was generally received as the theme song to The Chronic album..

    This was the SHIT when it came out. I used to bump this EVERY day on my way to school. Big up To Dr. Dre & Death Row for starting a trend in hip-hop way back then.

Description

The Chronic is the solo debut album of American hip hop artist Dr. Dre, released December 15, 1992, on his own record label Death Row Records, and distributed by Priority Records. Recording sessions for the album took place in June 1992 at Death Row Studios in Los Angeles and at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood. The album is named after a slang term for high-grade marijuana, and its cover is an homage to Zig-Zag rolling papers. It was recorded by Dr. Dre following his departure from hip hop group N.W.A and its label Ruthless Records over a financial dispute, and consequently features both subtle and direct insults at Ruthless and its owner, former N.W.A-member Eazy-E. Although a solo album, it features many appearances by Snoop Dogg, who used the album as a launch pad for his own solo career.
Upon its release, The Chronic received positive reviews from most music critics and earned considerable sales success. The album peaked at number three on the Billboard 200 and has sold over three million copies,[1] which led to Dr. Dre becoming one of the top ten best-selling American performing artists of 1993.[2] Dr. Dre's production has been noted for founding and popularizing the G-funk sub-genre within gangsta rap. The Chronic has been widely regarded as one of the most important and influential albums of the 1990s and regarded by many fans and peers to be the most well-produced hip hop album of all time.[3][4][5] In 2003, the album was ranked number 137 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. -(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chronic) March 2011.
