76. The Chronic - Dr. Dre (1993) 96/100. "Hey, did what's his name get at you yesterday?" The Chronic, the album that launched Snoop Dogg's career and, as I hinted on my Doggystyle review, (here - http://geekyclowns1001albums.blogspot.com/2011/01/33-doggystyle-snoop-doggy-dogg.html), one of my favorite hip-hop albums so it was an easy listen for the afternoon. All of the album is solid from beginning to end. Dre mellowed out hip-hop beats here (compared to N.W.A., Public Enemy, Beasties, etc. from the era) and made a lot of albums that follow in the 90's take on his style. He also used this as a soapbox to go after former N.W.A. band mate Eazy-E and Ruthless Records. Fuck Wit Dre Day, Let Me Ride, Rat-Tat-Tat-Tat, and High Powered are personal favorites but there are no bad tracks on here. Listened: 3/15/2011
Favorite Tracks: All of it
