Dec 15th, 1992 : The Chronic, Dr. Dre's first solo album, is released. The Chronic turns 20 tomorrow. "Before I got with Interscope, I recorded the entire album, artwork and everything and went into almost every label, and everybody was slamming doors on my, talking about, “This isn’t hip-hop; you’re using live instruments.” It had me second-guessing myself. I remember being on my balcony with Nate Dogg, listening to my record like, Is this shit good or not?" - Andre "Dr. Dre" Young, in a 2008 interview with Vibe "If [other tracks] didn't come out, Dre did it for a reason. A lot of that shit was spontaneous. But I did [another] song 15 times before I got it right. Had a toothache at the time and couldn't spit it out. He was, "Do it the next time, I don't like how it sounds. Do it again, you had too much energy." I'm like, this motherfucker is a precisionist." - Snoop LA Weekly: The Making of The Chronic Why The Chronic is the Greatest Album in Rap History "The first single, "Nuthin' But A G Thang"'s infectious sound is a combination of biting synths inspired by The Funky Worm", plus samples from Leon Haywood's "‪I Want'a Do Something Freaky With You‬" , "Uphill (Peace of Mind)" by Frederick Knight (or possibly the Kid Dynamite version), "West Coast Poplock" by Ronnie Hudson and the Street People, and Public Enemy's "B Side Wins Again". Did a truce between Crips and Bloods set the stage for "Nuthin' But a G Thang' as that summer's anthem? "Just as the early 1970s gang truce in the South Bronx, N.Y., helped create the conditions in which the proto-hip-hop party scene there could flourish, in Los Angeles, the post-riots, truce environment was also ripe for elation."

Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr., aka Snoop Dogg, is furthermore to be referred to as Snoop Lion, after having a spiritual awakening in Jamaica. His next album will be reggae, as rap is no longer challenging to him.

Take the Skizin Off.
