I was 16 when this came out, bumping this in my car getting stupid high off 90s brick weed. You have no idea how hard this was hitting my soul. Truly enjoyed seeing some of these tracks get you feeling good instantly.
this set the standard for 2000's
Eminem wrote The Watcher for Dre. Jay Z wrote Still Dre for Dre and Snoop. Royce Da 5’9” wrote The Message for Dre.
@@SoulOfTheSouth Eminem also wrote "Forgot About Dre"
I genuinely can’t explain how seismic this album was when it was released. You’re so right about Hittman; he absolutely nailed every second on this masterpiece.
Yo Ahmad review mili vanil girl you know its true since you don't care about the authenticity of your music they lost everything because they were lapsing millionaire's
Man, i still remember that year vividly, and the parties we were having with this playing.
Hittman is on more songs than everyone
@@ChrisOtwal No, he’s not on more songs than everyone; he’s on more songs than any other individual.
this was playing at every house party n smoke out session for years never got old
And every car rolling past playing music
Still does
This is one of the dopest beats ever and wit nate Dogg on the hook is all you ever want or need
It's definitely dated 25 years later, yet somehow the beats still sound so crisp and unique. That's just how good dre is on the boards. One of the most important albums in hip hop history.
It’s CRAZY that Jay-Z wrote “Still D.R.E.” In less than 30 minutes!! Crazy!!!
Bs.. Jay a liar
@@jarule275 Snoop Dogg is the one that said that. Why u doubting Jay-Z, one of the greatest rappers of all time?
@caleb4828 dozens of rappers have called him out over the years, where there's smoke and all that. Dude is shady as 💩
@@jasonpierce2024 and dozens of rappers said he's one of the goats.
My favourite album of all time. Every time I listen to it, nostalgia kicks in of me growing up playing it on my Walkman wherever I went
Em wrote that line "Things just ain the same for gangstas"
the message…..produced by lord finesse and written by royce da 5’9 🔥
This album still holds up, always cool to see someone hear it for the first time. Actually a few great articles came out years later about the making of this album.
Dre was talking about MC Ren in What's the Difference,
Royce da 5'9 wrote the Message, and also wrote to what became Xxxplosive called "The way i be Pimpin"
Hittman was supposed to be the next aftermath artist after this but never came out, supposedly because he didn't have any commercial appeal and also 50 came along and all the aftermath resources went to that. You can hear what was going to be Hittmans first single at the end of the "Forgot about Dre" video, it's called "last dayz"
Hittman did end up putting a lot of that music out years later on a project called "Hittmanic Verses" it's dope
Ho's a Housewife was actually on 3 albums, this, Kurupt's 2nd album Streetz iz a Mutha (definitely deserves a review) and Kurupts disappointing first album Kuruption
Knoc'turnal wrote a lot of Dre's verses on this album, along w/ Em and Jay and Royce, check out Knoc's landing and Str8 Westcoast and Bad Intentions
Definitely need to also review Restless by Xzibit
Kuruption was disappointing in which way?
@@ChiefSiebs so many ways, the east coast disc had terrible features aside from Buckshot and Nore, and this is where you started to see Kurupt get real lazy with his raps. After Dogg Food and NY, NY he was considered one of the sharpest lyricists in the game. This album is a big drop off from where he was at with Dogg Food. The west coast cd is better but still left a lot to be desired. Thank God for Streetz is a Mutha after made everyone forget about kuruption
@@abdelmessihtI'm only 24 but love this album but knowing what's the difference is about ren is wild and I thought it was always about benzino ect and that time period. Would of never guessed Ren. But fuck that adds depth to it.
I agree with you...I bought the corruption CD...double CD to be exactly...not a single song I like ...still have them today
Just those Dre beats are something else man. Never been anyone like him.
Regardless how insane the rhymes and flows are, it's the instrumentals that make it a timeless classic more than anything else.
fact, even though i personally prefer the chronic 1, the beats on this album are genuinely ridiculous
Em wrote Forgot About Dre for Snoop and Dre but Dre loved Ems version so they used it. Young Em is a monster and if you think otherwize talk to ya momma.
For years after this dropped you'd hear it everywhere you went. Every car had this bumping out and every house you went to either had this playing or the up in smoke tour on the TV. Straight Classic!
My audio engineering instructor, Mr Peter Novak, mixed the songs F*ck You and Xplosive for this album. He told me Dre had the most amazing work ethic and vision about exactly what impact he wanted this album to have. He said working on this was like being on a movie set. He taught me a lot that Dre taught him and i still keep this album in mind when mixing and my ish sounds too big for some rappers. 😂
Oh idk if it was mentioned but the rumor at the time was that Kurupt's verse was about Master P who was messing with Foxy Brown when she was engaged to Kurupt. 😅🤷🏾♂️
This album defined my childhood lol, i used to hide this cd from my moms and grandma (along with eminem, xzibit, and snoops doggystle), lots of time spent in with this cd in my discman haha
I remember hearing this album when I was like 10/11 years old 😂 this was pretty much my introduction into hip-hop/rap. This album still sounds as amazing as it did back then as does the OG chronic album which is why Dre is the GOAT imo.
I love the fact that Eminem wrote the first track, The Watcher, on Dr Dre's masterpiece. He was such a large part of his life at the time and he entrusted that track to Eminem to kick things off. You can tell it's written by Em, in terms of style and cadence, yet Dre spits it well as he always does when others write for him (very often). Always loved that intro to the album. Takes me back to when I picked the album up on release! Classic.
Sorry but Nas wrote the Watcher it’s hip hop history
@@EWheelsWarren G literally said on a podcast that eminem wrote The Watcher
@@EWheelsNah Eminem was the writer. You can tell just by the lyrics. The rhyme schemes and wordplay are very reminiscent of em’s writing style
@@EWheelsNas did not write that
@@EWheelsNas did not write that. You’re trying to re-write hiphop history. Eminem wrote the watcher. Go look it up before saying dumb shit online
Dr. Dre version came first, Erykah Badu used it afterwards. The album was so hot I heard a lot of of the instrumentals everywhere after it came out. Even Jay Z redid the watcher.
word Blu Cantrel used the Whats the Difference beat and avoided being a one hit wonder 😂
True, I was hearing The Next Episode beat everywhere before I knew what it was when I got older lol
Storch added the keys to a few tracks (Still DRE, Big Ego's), but Dre's main co-producer on this album was Mel-Man
🇿🇦🤷🏾♂️Well... I've been telling them you put it best 💔🤣🤣🤣🤣😭
Dr. Dre is the main producer but the critics miss the inside credits and complain about accreditation 🤔
Knocturnal feat Dr. Dre and Missy Elliot "The Knoc" peep that song its one of Dre's craziest beats and one of the most unique music videos of all time
Reliving my youth through this channel. Bless up youngin
Me too. I love it here!
Great reaction! Another classic album. If you want to review another Westcoast Death Row era classic, review “Dogg Pound - Dogg Food”. Dropped in 1995, Produced by Daz, Dr Dre and DJ Pooh. Kurupt was in his prime and absolutely SNAPPED! Peace..
And... The album I first heard Bigg Tray Deee on... Reality. And he snapped on it
I still rock this album till this day. Like you said, the way he lets his artist breathe on his album is awesome. Track 16 was amazing! I was living in LA when this album came out. It was a crazy summer!
Man, Hitman brought it on that album. I always wondered why he never got the push he deserved.
Got killed
@@brambo09wrong Hitman. He was from the RBL Posse. Hittman just been AWOL from the game
@@brambo09nah, he’s still alive
He was supposed to be the next big thing that Dr Dre was going to push, but it never happened and he left the label without releasing an album. It's an odd one, but there has to be more to it. Only they know.
Hittman was gonna blow up but I feel like Dre wanted to focus on Eminem. Dre wanted to get away from the gangsta rap vibe for a while. Eminem was a change of pace for Dre. The gangsta vibe of course came when 50 dropped. 50 brought a different vibe. Dre didn't want the same old shit he already did before.
I smiled cheek to cheek this entire time. Great album, great reaction.
I love how on “Some LA Niggas” each person started their verse paying homage to a classic LA song
I didn't even notice that. I need to play it back.
Damn… this album is on a league on its own for me. I was 15 when this came out and was familiar with higher class rap albums like wu-tang forever, infamous, doggystyle etc. But the production on this album felt so tight and clean, it just hits different. love your reviews! Love from Amsterdam
Wtf you mean "higher class rap albums"...? Dre created and paved the way for higher class rap albums bozo. Foh
@@hostilesavage4299chill he’s just making an observation you goofy clown
Great Reaction to this Classic bro !!! This the only Dre Album Scott Storch played instruments on after 13 years of Dre producing on his own since 86. 💯
met hittman after a show, everybody chasing snoop and other stars. hit just walking casual away from the crowd. I recognized him and told him his flow is Top shelf. he was super cool.
So, what happened with Hitman and Aftermath back in the day? I know we were waiting for his album to come out..
Did eminem happen and hitman was like f this?
@Kaido_928 I remember watching an interview, him explaining. but I forget his explanation. I think Em exploding had something to do with Hit getting shelfed
bang bang has always been one of my favorites for a while still is. the whole album’s amazing.
Bro no cap you prolly should dive more into Devin the Dude catalog, that whole album The Dude is both comedy and the beats be cold at the same time.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to do Devin tha Dude- Broccoli and Cheese. Really you can do that whole album. DEVIN is highly underated.
EXTREMELY UNDERRATED
The Dude, Just Trying Ta Live and To Tha X-Treme are all classics, he made some great albums later on as well
@@HagedissFACTS !!!!
Devin is the most underrated rapper ever. He got to react to some Devin joints fr.
I had this album on repeat for at least 2 years after it dropped!
It’s crazy how Jay Z wrote Still Dre… the whole song. For an East Coast emcee, he definitely put a lotta west coast flava in those bars.
He wrote it so good that it sounds like Dre wrote it
Jay-Z always had love for the West Coast
Eminem also wrote the watcher the whole song even Dre's verse
I remember bumping to this album as a 10 year old in Nigeria. We don't joke west coast artists out here.
This is my number one Dr Dre album I don't care what nobody say
Facts 💯
Same, it’s the best one.
He only has 2 albums but he's the greatest
Devin the Dude from Texas... You'd do yourself justice if you checked out his catalog.
After this, it's only right you check out The Compton album that came out 2015 around the same time the NWA movie was released. That album is criminally underrated. Dre's musical progression on that Compton album, the mixing, the features - Kendrick, Anderson Paak(the star of the album). Yeah man, please check out Compton.
🔥 CLAAAAASIC !🔥 It's about time! Keep diggin in those crates youngin!
That watcher 2 on Jayz blueprint two is classic also.
This to me is Dre best album ever
Second classic album from Dre! This album is one of the best to drop in the late 90s hands down! The production was crazy and the guest verses were incredible.
Xzibit “Restless” is a pretty solid album released on Aftermath, worth checking out
I was in the 4th grade when this came out and I still jam out to this album like it’s brand new
When I first bought this album in 99 when I like 11-12 or something. I bumped this album to death. This was on constant spin for over a year+. Great memories. Especially 2000 summer.
Automatic like! Classic album Ahmad, Love from Cali
My dog 💯💪🏾
Bro this album was so cold i memorized the whole shit back then and still know it til this day. Classic album. Theres a reason dre dont drop albums much coz when he does they certified platinum.
I’m from Scotland, but in 2000 ish we went on family holiday to New York. 15 year old bought this album and proceeded to blast it from the limo window entire time. Parents not happy
this album holds up because it's so unique you really can't date it.
42:57 - Fun fact: Dr. Dre scored Bad Boys 2 and he played this instrumental when Marcus (Martin) told Mike (Will) that he couldn't get it up 😂😂😂😂😂
Let’s go! This is the soundtrack to my junior/senior year in HS
That beat on Xxplosive is ✨C R I S P Y✨
Badu and and this kinda came out af the same time. The album version of Bag Lady had the guitar melody, but nothing really else. Mama's Gun is an incredible album, worth a listen.
On "What's the Difference" Dr Dre was talking about MC Ren from NWA. They made up soon after the songs reported so that makes it kind of ironic because MC Ren is on the album
You missed it he's talking to The DOC that's why he mentions the window of the car and later on Eminem says you better show some respect whenever the DOC is brought
Glad you did this. Hope you go do more Eminem. The two albums I want you to react to are D12’s Devil’s Night and Eminem’s Relapse.
Be warned, they are not for the faint of heart.
In fact, I’ll even note a song on Relapse called. Eminem made it as a song that ‘you would feel physically sick to.’ Sometimes, I do feel mentally disturbed when I listen to it.
Devin the Dude has hella albums....always solid and always funny.
This vid was a straight vibe session and a flashback to my childhood even tho I was like 2 goin on 3 when this came out 🤣🤣🤣 But I definitely remember a gang of these songs bein all over the radio back then. Thank you for this bro 🔥🔥🔥
Love this album, u should watch the 'Up In Smoke' tour to see the experience of the fans around this time. I was like 13 when this album dropped, good times.
Sonically this is the bar 🔥🔥🔥 It was a movie for your ears. Even the transitions on this is elite 💯 especially from F You to Still D.R.E, sheesshhh
Another West Coast classic you should react to is Dogg Food by Tha Dogg Pound.
Dr Dre produced XXplosive and Bag Lady by Erykah Badu. It was a sample from Soul Mann and The Brothers from the '71 Shaft soundtrack
Royce Da 5'9" wrote the last track, The Message
I remember i hear it first in my friend car with some homies back in 2000, and we are on the way to brothel that night 😂. The rest is history.. my favourite hip hop album of all time above the rest
I remember watching Saturday Night Live when this album came out and Dre was the musical guest and they did Forgot About Dre and EVERYONE was marking out over that hook, trying to spit it flawless the next week at school. This album is legendary.
it's crazy how Dre made such a great album that sounds completely diff from the Chronic...don't nobody care about Dre not writing lol he's a producer that can rap..he gets a pass lol..still mad Snoop wasn't on the Xxplosive song lol...if you did it and I missed my bad but time to get back to some DMX and do that 2nd album Flesh of my flesh...
Please put the "all we got iz us" album by onyx on your list. Everyone please like this comment if you agree about how much if a masterpiece that album is... 2ndly, if you wanna hear godly bars that shaped big pun and em, listen to 1 of these 2 Kool G Rap albums... "Roots of Evil" or "Live and Let die." You will NOT be disappointed and you will see why he is better than Em, Jay and Pun. The lyrics, wordplay and pockets of flows are unmatchable. You will start swearing by him as I do as number 1 on the top 5 list.
Also the 'Shut em Down' album
Timeless album from front to back and awesome reaction. Also fun fact on the song light speed hit man's retreat like Megatron part was sampled on a heltah skeltah song called never ending but it was at the very end of the track. Hope you can review it sometime
Let Me Ride with the Parliament Funkadelic sample from Swing Down Sweet Chariot are so great. There are so many Parliament Funkadelic samples on both Doggystyle and The Chronic.
There Was 3 Major Radio Hits 1. Still D.R.E That Was Certified Quintuple Platinum In 2000 And Won A Grammy In 2000. 2. Forget About Dre That Was Certified Triple Platinum In 2000. 3. The Next Episode That Was Certified Platinum In 2000.
Aa far as Bag Lady, they pretry much came out around the same time. I always assumed Dre sold to her for her use. There was never any suggestion that anything shady was going on as far as I knew.
The cleanest production to this day! The Chronic back in 92 was the classic then the return 2001 just took it to the next level. The master of masterpieces of an album, if pac had lived he would of loved flowing over a DRE beat
24:00 -Dre is talking about Suge...to answer your question 👌 great review playboy
Bro I'm crying laughing at how passionate you were about skipping that pause for porno skit. 😅😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅
Chronic 2001!! Little trivia. The Original title of the album was supposed to be Chronic 2000: No Seeds but Suge Knight who owned royalties on Dre's music since he left Death Row came out with a compilation album called Chronic 2000: Still Smokin' before Dre could drop his. So Dre had to put a weed leaf symbol 2001 as the title. Thats why on Lightspeed you hear it say "you are now listening to the sounds of Chronic 2000" and then dude comes on going "One!!" because it wasnt originally 2001 it was Chronic 2000. Even Eminem says in Forgot About Dre "from here on out its The Chronic 2" so its supposed to have Chronic in the title. Because of that I always consider the title Chronic 2001 when talking about it.
Great reaction man, one of my favourite albums of all time, Dr Dre’s production over all these amazing rappers, classic
Yes Sir!! That reaction is what I’m talking about. 🔥🔥🔥Hyped. The way I felt when I first heard this back in the day.
Cube has said openly he loved the hood, but that's not where he wants to raise his family. Nothing wrong with moving to a better neighborhood, he just called NWA out at the time for not owning it
the song message Rapper Eve used that sample for her song let me blow yo mind with gwen stefani
This album is the standard for production
Shoutout to Houston legend Devin the Dude who does the hook and a part on "Fuck You". He's one of the GOATs in my book, and has been knocking out classics with his super unique and smooth style since the early 90s.
Still kicking too. Can't recommend him enough, especially if you (but even if you don't) smoke weed.
Got the review in 👍🏾
Love the album especially Light Speed.
was in high school 2 years ago and it was kinda rough being one of the only "oldheads" there but albums like this made it worth it
It’s hard to explain how massive this album was at the time. Every single person was blasting it 24/7
2001 is a masterpiece.
you are a masterpiece 😍👌
“Everywhere That I Go Ain’t The Same as Before People I used to know Just Don’t Know Me No More”
On the "What's the difference" Dre's verse, I think he is talking about DJ Yella(from NWA) who was always talking about a reunion at that time...
Eminem wrote The Watcher for Dre. Jay Z wrote Still Dre for Dre and Snoop. Royce Da 5’9” wrote The Message for Dre and it was produced by legendary hip-hop producer from D.I.T.C crew Lord Finesse.
Hittman with the reference to Golden Child movie. “My dear sweet brother Numsie!” Lol hilarious
PEACE KING. PEACE TO THE FAMILY. WHAT A WAY TO END THE WEEK!💯🔥🔥🔥
If I can relieve any moment. It’s definitely when and where I heard this album for the 1st time. Me the homies and my then girlfriend was in High School playing 007 on the 64. Snowed in with junk food, blunts and liq 😂. We played this album multiple times that night.
You definitely should review Knoc-turn'al - "The Knoc" with Missy and Dre
This been in my rotation since it came out I was a 3rd grader! My Dad bought the album been in my rotation eversince 🔥🔥🔥🔥 top 10 Hip-Hop album of all time
I keep this album on rotation to this day along with the "A Day In The Life" Soundtrack album by Sticky Fingaz
My lil circle of friends rocked this shit back in 2001, white kids from England rolling to this album, we used to talk about it at school it sold big over here, xzibit is underrated af, good times think I was like 11 back when the world made sence and wasn't full of pussies 😂
Watch the up in smoke tour. You might be able to find it on CZcams. Best concert ive ever been to
Ice cube said it the best in the song from West side connection, Gangsta Nation. "It ain't a hit until Nate Dogg Spit"
Nobody ever cared about dre using writers because he always credited his writers. He never acted like he was writing anything he didn't write or like he was on some emcee sht.
Man life was so lit in south central when this came out...Crenshaw nights
"Scream retreat like Megatron!" 🔥🔥🔥
On the song F*** You, that's not Nate Dogg. That's Devin the Dude from Face Mob
Love this album. Crazy thing Eminem is even BETTER now. He is more technical and anyone who says other wise doesn't understand how to listen to lyrical rap!!!!!
I be telling people. They sleep 🤦🏾♂️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ahmad! It’s time to review Devin, “The Dude” album
