The Chronic Explicit Lyrics

Description

The Chronic is the debut studio album by American hip hop recording artist Dr.
Dre. It was released on December 15, 1992, by 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 it’s cover is a homage to Zig-Zag rolling papers. It
was Dr. Dre’s first solo album after he had departed from hip hop group N.W.A
and it’s label Ruthless Records over a financial dispute. On The Chronic, he
included both subtle and direct insults at Ruthless and it’s 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
it’s release, The Chronic received generally positive reviews from music
critics and earned considerable commercial success. The album peaked at number
three on the Billboard 200 and had been certified triple platinum by the
Recording Industry Association of America with sales of over three million
copies in the United States, which led to Dr. Dre becoming one of the top ten
best-selling American performing artists of 1993. Dr. Dre’s production has
been noted for founding and popularizing the G-funk subgenre 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 one
of the most well-produced hip hop albums of all time. In 2003, the album was
ranked number 138 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 greatest albums
of all time.
