- The year is 1992. At the beginning of the year the classic movie ‘Juice’ was released to theaters. The then-Washington Redskins beat the Buffalo Bills in the Super Bowl. Riots broke out in Los Angeles, California. Bill Clinton was elected president for the first time. Just a month after Bill was elected for president Dr. Dre released his classic album that changed rap history. This would be ‘The Chronic’.

You should do a video about My Krazy Life album by rapper YG. Good video.
@@stinkyinthecity151 what’s funny is that I’ve actually considered that before. REALLY good album that I don’t think gets talked about enough
Can you cover “Fantastic Vol. 2” by Slum Village? Or Balance & Options by DJ Quik?
Or “Street Gospel” by Suga Free, that album only to 30 days. Nobody has ever came close to Suga Free’s style. Sonically it’s one of the greatest mixed albums of all time.
We need that Dogg Food album it was in the mix of the East vs West beef
The Lady of rage bruh! Her verse on G funk intro is crazy
Back in '92 I was 11 or 12. I listened to hip hop/rap, always had it on as background music. Then G Thang came on the radio, I put down my Nintendo controller and had a wtf?! Moment. That day music went from being background noise to something closer to a focal point. I started paying attention to music directly after hearing G Thang. I started saving up for tapes of all sorts of artists. The song set off a spark in my brain
You like 50 now😂
My wtf?! Moment was hearing “Hi my name is?” for the first time 😢 changed my life
That was my reaction when I first heard deep cover
I was 10 in 93 and used to sneak and take my dads cassette tapes the chronic all the NWA stuff Spice 1 MC eiht all that good stuff
I was 8 and yeh the Chronic beats grab you.
Y'all gotta give the D.O.C. props too he was the one who talked Dre into putting out the Chronic and he might have wrote the Album.
FACTS, he is the unsung hero when it comes to mainstream fans of this album. only hard-core hip-hop fans know that he wrote this album.
@@123theprodigy5 No Doubt❤️💯
Shut up
@@123theprodigy5 D.O.C was definitely a huge factor but he did not write the entire album
Facts he wrote alongside Ice Cube when he was in the group and most of the rhymes for NWA when he left. On The Chronic & Doggystyle he wrote like half or more of both albums❗️💯
Dre got a unreleased song on TH-cam called Smokin Weed for Hours. D.O.C wrote that for him but its basically him rapping about pre-NWA (Wreckin Cru), NWA, Cube departure, Eazy fallout, Snoop, Death Row
I heard that one it was dope. The original Next Episode from snoop first album on here too that mf go hard
Perhaps this video mentions this. But the chronic was the first rap album to be produced like a pop or rock album. It wasn't noisy or rough production. It sounded clean and perfectly pitched.
played with real instruments
As a teenaged Hip Hop fan at the time this was very noticeable to me. I remember listening to The Roach for the first time.
It’s not even a sample. It’s a group of musicians playing the instrumental to Mothership Connection. It was so clean and mixed perfectly.
@@thejeanpoulet5327technically, producers in the Bay Area such as Ant Banks and JT the Bigga Figga have incorporated live instrumentation since the mid 80s within the mobb music scene. I always felt Dre took the Bay’s sound and polished up his own way. I’m not tryina argue who’s better or who did what first. At the end of the day, it’s all WESTSIDE
3 Feet High & Rising?! ... I do agree though
@@pastenseThe Bay was the first to do everything. The first humans on Earth probably came from the Bay🤣😂
This Album Was Released On December 15 1992 By Death Row Records And Interscope Records And Priority Records It Peaked At Number Two On The Billboard Hot 100 Charts It Was A Huge Commercial Success Selling 346,000 Copies In Its First Week. Then It Sold Over Five Million Copies And Was Certified Quintuple Platinum On April 7 1993. It Won A Grammy For Best Album Of 1992 At The 1993 Grammy Awards. It Was Featured On Rolling Stones 500 Greatest Hip Hop Albums Of All Time List Being Ranked Number 13 In 2024. And On There 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time List Being Ranked Number 51 In 2023. It Got 5/5 Mics From The Source Magazine And Featured On There Top 100 Greatest Rap Albums Of The 90s List Being Ranked Number Three. It Was Featured On NME’S Top 100 Essential Recordings Of The 90s List Being Ranked Number 13 In 2015. It Was Featured On Multiple Lists For All The Good Reasons
💯
Man I remember tht Christmas of tht year it changed my life drastically started banging gd smoking weed heavily going to jail fighting shooting outs house parties early 90's was a survival mode in Houston texas...nawfside and I was just 15 16 years old...
When the Album dropped I thought they had camera's on me, because they was rappin about how I was livin! It's still a banger!
I remember buying it at the fox hills mall and it stayed in my tape deck for years lol....
This is one of those rare occasions where TH-cam actually put something dope in my feed, great channel, great videos and great storytelling, keep up the great work bruh💯👊🏾
Certified classic, I was 11 turning 12. I'm 43 n still bump this masterpiece.
Dre Day is probably the most nostalgic song for me. Played it every morning, i really like your album viseos!!
Music video history breakdowns might be my next move!
Might be the best video you made bruv…smooth commentary, knowledgeable as fuck.
U ain't lyin
I was introduced to The Chronic when I was 13years old. I only discovered the song Bxtches Aint Shxt a month ago when I’m now 31 and it’s become my favourite on the album! Chorus x beat x Dre’s cadence x storytelling x humour x etc etc etc! That song is perfection
Not enough pages focus on the making of albums to the detail you put on these.Thank you for putting out all these great docs.You’re preserving hip hop history for the future!
I’m 46 years old and The Chronic was so massive when it came out. Everyone was playing it here in Phoenix. I use to go out to San Diego every summer because my parents had a beach house in Mission Beach and the 90’s were an amazing time. The best music era in all genres in my opinion
@31:40 By the way, Chris Taylor is also the Producer/Creator of the group Po’, Broke & Lonely - so that corroborates Bushwick Bill’s story
You one of my favorite hip hop TH-camrs. You cover all eras and a lot of the underrated gems.
To this very day tit can put this album on in the car and just cruise. Playing this album in the car makes you look cool no matter what you drive or what you're wearing
I mean if you’re gonna play it you gotta do it right tho
You gotta be rolling in a 6-4 with sixteen switches my guy
Still not finished watching this, I keep having to pause to rewind or look up songs referenced. 10/10 video brotha.
Where's the link to the nuthin but a g thang with the original sample? 22:40
Coming at you live and direct, all the way from that Northwest!
Classic. East Coast inspired the West Coast that inspired the East Coast, etc. Midwest, South... That's Hip Hop
One of my favorite albums of all time. The Chronic is peak Dr. Dre production, and this is one of the best produced albums ever.
Dr Dre was at his A game from the mid nineties and mid 2000s when it came to his beat selection and workmanship yeah.
no he wasnt. eazy e and tupac ruined him for some time. till after there deaths. he wasnt doing well from 95-98. till he came back with 2001.
@@matthewmann8969 From 86 to 96, yes. He fell off musically 96-98. The Aftermath first album was garbage. If we being fr Eminem brought him back in 99 then the Chronic 2001 brought him back too
Shout out to D.O.C for writing all the lyrics for this masterpiece!!!!
He didn’t write all the lyrics and has never claimed that, stop it.
I bought this album atleast 5 times. Left it in old cars I got rid of. Got scratched up etc lol. This album is that good.
Despite the east coast blatant bias back in the day they acknowledged this masterpiece along with the classic snoop entry Deep Cover
I bet y'all didn't know that the Deep Cover beat was originally for MC Ren. Imagine if MC Ren was on that beat. It would have been nasty. 🤔😲
In 1992 I was 11 years old...The first time I heard the song "Dre Day'" was the first time I heard another rapper getting dissed that bad and openly on national TV. The beat was crazy, I thought Dre was a savage and Snoop was making his name known in a big way! I thought Eazy was done...lol
Dope
You gotta do the Dogg Food album it was in the mix of the East vs West beef
How about a vidro on "We Come Strapped" by MC Eiht
Dope documentary! I recommend doing one on X-Raided Psycho Active! Crazy backstory and production on that one and predates the chronic by 6 months released June 92’
Stranded on Death Row is an amazing song. I always thought that should’ve been a single.
BEST TRACK along with high powered, b's ain't s**t, lyrical g***b***, little ghetto boy
Mad✊️🤛Love/RESPECT🫡 on Dre's SUCCESS but AEOM(Alll Eyez on Me) is Hip Hops GEM💯.#PACTHEGOAT
This album was & still is hard as hell!
Word
The Chronic is better than Chronic 2001 💥💥
I never cared for Chronic 2001
@@DTM2K25 💯
2001
Above the law are the originators of g-funk
You should cover either Illmatic or ready to die next, they both turned 30 this year.
Cypress Hill changed hip hop forever. But good job to the DOC and dogg pound for their creativity
Perfectionist Dre is definitely an artist 1st, gangsta 2nd
Interesting perspective
I was 11yrs old and my uncle, who was a Dj, lived next door to my bedroom and he blasted The Chronic all summer of ‘93. And it used to scare the sh!t outta me! lol It sparked the beginning of my gangsta-rap phase of my hip hop head life.
The mf year I was born❤
TELL ME IF I'M WRONG BUT THIS WAS THE HARDEST INTRO EVER!!!!!
To me, Nuthin But A G Thang is the greatest hip hop song of all time
Definitely top 10 , but " The Message " is the greatest rap track imo.
Absolutely
@@TheBammyTVShowthe dre or nas one
Your breakdowns are dope asf!
“Nuthin but a G thang” was one of the very few rap songs my Christian conservative mom enjoyed simply because how good it sounded (censored version of course). It just shows how transcendental the sound was at the time
What a wonderful summer it was in 1993. Here on the West Coast at least. The Wild West all over again! Different Atmosphere, Different Mind Set back then.
Actually doc helped snoop with the “1,2,3 to the 4/ snoop dogg and dr Dre is at the door”. Because snoop didn’t know how to count beats and bars
No he didn’t 😂😂😂😂
You Should Do One On The Ready To Die Album
Don’t forget “Psycho Active” by X Raided came out before The Chronic with the same sound also during that time!
Excellent video bro!, instant classic!
'ONE .. TWO .. THREE .. AND TO THE FO .. SNOOP DOGGY DOGG .. AND DR DRE .. IS AT THE DO' ..
"G Thang" Frestyle Remix was released on the GThang Maxi Single back in '93. I remember playing that single just about as much as the actual album. I liked the G Thang remix better than the OG back then. The freestyle was cool, too, but didn't feel like something I could slap in the car. Kurupt went HARD tho!
This story has been told at least 10 times. Good stuff...
ive been listening to dr dre since i was a kid eazy ice cube snoop all those guys i was born in 97
I was 8 n remember having The Chronic on tape when it came out
DA BEST HIP HOP ALBUM OF ALL TIME
I was 16 in '92...I knew I was hearing something great at the time...💯💯💯💪🏾
#WestCoast
#DeathRow
818 to 940 Death Row FOREVER!! FIRST
W Vid
Plus The songs from that album was on san Andreas which gave us that 90s feel
i been waiting this video so long
The wait is over!
The "Let Me Ride" extended remix is out of this world!
I love the roach. Rbx is so bodacious in the beginning and then the chronic creeps up on him 😂😅😂. Reminds me of my younger days smoking trees with old schools and running them away from the trees 😂😂😂
This was a good one, you should've done it earlier tho lol you should cover Life After Death, The Marshall Mathers LP, and either of the 3 Vol albums from Jay.
Better late than never 😭
The Dr's first classic💿
I heard the chronic in December 92
Me too, in the Bay.
@@afghantrucker FACTS. I still remember lol
What a time to be alive.
Love this channel
Dope video once again Clout
Just wanted to say i think Ren and Eazy probably fell out sometime after Kizz My Black Azz came out because Eazy was in Final Frontier music video but if you notice during It's On 187 Ren is nowhere to be seen i think they fell out around the time The Chronic had dropped likely because Ren didn't wanna diss Dre also because Ren said in an interview he was still hanging out w Dre while they were recording The Chronic that's why Snoop shouted him out but they were seen at CB4 Premiere together so likely it only lasted in 93 and they patched things up in 94 because Ren was at Summer Jam with Eazy that year and they recorded his last song Tha Muthaphukkin Real in December when Eazy got back from NY
Also The G Thang Remix was first Dr. Dre re-did the beat and made Bitches Ain't Shit October 1992 and it replaced One Eight Seven (Deep Cover Remix) that was meant for The Chronic
edit: Also Also there are alternative versions of Lil Ghetto Boy and Stranded On Death Row with more explicit lyrics there on YT and appeared on Promo Tapes and Snippet Samplers
Last thing also Chris The Glove did the keyboards on Stranded On Death Row he said it in one of his interviews and He helped mix Doggystyle also along with doing the Keyboards on Doggy Dogg World
I think he likely didn't get credit on Doggystyle because the album was rushed because The Next Episode is listed on the back and wasn't even on the album but in future releases no excuse Snoop need to fix all that shit and make sure people get future profits
I was smoking on chronic at picnics
Such a classic album love your channel man
Yo Clout! I like how you did that intro 🔥🔥🔥
The chronic commercials 🔥
Crazy to think of all the talent Warren G and Snoop brought to Dre for that album. Kurupt, Daz, Nate Dogg and RBX. The Long Beach influence was strong on that album.
And yes I know Kurupt isn’t from Long Beach. But everyone else is
I can't believe I never knew bout Let me ride remix preciate the info bro🤙🏿
The story actually starts with Dre stealing beats from people and promising them deals. He stole a lot of kick drums and high hats and basslines from people I personally know. This is facts. I still have the reel to reels that music was recorded on that was sent to Dre and he stole it.
Video request: Dogg Pound - Dogg Food and 2Pac 7th Day Theory Killuminati albums.
Hi bro what productoion program do you use for your videos? Great work!
Did my first bid to this album. Those were the MFn days
I peeped that St. Ides commercial beat😌🔥
Gotta correct you on one thing. Although Mr. Officer didn't make the Chronic album, it does get re-recorded by the Geto Boys because Big Mike was working with Death Row after he left the Convicts and replaced Willie D in the Geto Boys on the Till Death Do Us Part album.
Big ups, much respect
Death Row Records from 92-96 is my favorite all time record label. Not too mention the other great hip hop made during that time
No Disrespect to the Originators who created Hip- Hop My Truth be told Dr Dre& Snoop Dogg were the first Artist I ever listened to thanks to my Stepfather I Love Gangsta Rap way before Conscious Rap before Thug Rap in my opinion the West Coast makes the best Music I'm a 90's Baby Warren G , Nate Dogg , Dogg Pound just to name a few💯
Truthfully speaking, if it is true that rap music can damage a young mind then no other album in history has done more damage.
Mothers/aunts/ sisters/ nieces were its first victims.
I remember hearing junior high school girls reciting the lyrics and was like “yall can’t say that!”
I always felt guilty about loving this super dope album.
But everything changed after it came out.
Get a prison system growth chart and start from 1990. It goes through the roof!
Prisons need inmates.
How do you get an explosion of inmates?
Make crime popular!
How do you make crime popular ?
Movies? Depends.
Music? Oh hell yeah.
Do I blame this one album?
Kinda. Because it went multi platinum.
Whatever goes platinum causes labels to follow.
The private prison industry was in bed with record labels.
Why you think that is?
Today it’s normal.
That’s why cats are getting 50 years.
That’s why RICO is what most cats are getting.
It’s a hustle.
Tell me Drill hasn’t contributed to the prison system?
You gotta be in denial!
So yeah the Chronic broke the door down.
It’s the blueprint.
Great album then in 93 the gritty wu tang clan album came out and I forgot about the West
The chronic wouldn’t be the same without snoop
Can you do Me Against the World next? I feel like that album isn’t covered enough because of All Eyez on Me overshadowing it
I remember listening to this Mexican dude talking about how the Row surrounded Eazy E. He said they didn't know Eazy was with them. So while they surrounded Eazy, they inevitably got surrounded by the Mexicans. The Mexican dude said to one of the guys "Whats up?" The brotha said whats up ese? Mexican dude said "NAH WHATS UP FOO?"...Then they realized Eazy was with them and they got up outta there 😂😂.
This is my favorite album of all time 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You should Cover big l lifestyles ov da poor and dangerous
Dope channel man!
The chronic along with doggystyle forever changed mainstream rap. It was the first rap album I could remember flying off the shelves. Whoever thought a rap album from the west coast would forever change the genere.
you monkey ice cube album change the whole game
you monkey ice cube album change the whole game
if it's possible can u please try and do a story behind a classic video on the college dropout I really wanna see what kind of stories u could find
😂 you missed a diss on “Dre Day”… him and Snoop definitely dissed Ice Cube on the last verse..
“and we gone creep to South Central on a “street knowledge” mission as i step in the temple / spot’em got’em as i pulls out my strap, got the chrome to the side of his White Sox hat / you tryna “check” my homie, you best “check” yaself cause when you diss Dre, you diss yourself”
street knowledge = was Ice Cube’s record company and slogan back then in the early 90’s.. the temple = cause a lot of people thought Cube was muslim then also.. the iconic White Sox hat worn by Cube religiously then.. and the last reference was to Cube’s “Check Yaself” remix which was a hit back then.. second verse.. thats all imma say..
and cube destroyed them in guerrilla ain't gangsta on menace to society sound track plus the never said cube name
I have this on vinyl 💙🌴
School to Prison Pipeline Music ... SPPM Theme Music
Yo! Can I make a request. Would love to see an in depth look at Dom Kennedy!!!!!
Now easy gone ,Dre still here,Dre made easy 😂
it would be cool to make a video about whut the album
I got jumped when this album 💿 first came out 😂
