Dr. Dre 2001 [PA] by Dr. Dre

Pros: Dope first half.
Cons: Not as much the second half.

It's one of the great debates of our time -- which is better, Dr. Dre's The Chronic or 2001? OK, so not really. Any true-school hip-hop head's supposed to tell ya that Chronic's easily the better album. If we go by influence? ...

Pros: Pure Classic Album!!! Great Beats and Lyrics. Lots of legendary guest stars and tracks.
Cons: Weak Skits, TOO much Hittman, couple of weak lyrics

Prelude:

Who...

Pros: The BEATS!!! Some lyrical maturity. Some of the guests.
Cons: Wack Aftermath guests. Skits. A few too many weak second half tracks.

Things done change for Dr. Dre huh. This fabled Westcoast producer has seen virtually everything there is to see in the rap game, the highs, the lows, the wins, the losses. Given his immense track record, producing hits from artists as diverse as ...

Pros: Hardcore beats, Amazing Lyrics and Great Songs
Cons: NONE

After his last album "The Aftermath", Chronic 2001 is something you would never expect. It blew up the charts staying number 1 for a long time. Dre's first CD "Chronic" was good. It was gangsta and hardcore. Those are the two things...

Pros: Does feature some classics
Cons: Guest appearances, takes up too much space on the mic

N.W.A. have been one of my favorite groups of all time and have had a heavy influence on me. Not only were their lyrics g'd out but the production, courtesy of Dr. Dre, appealed to me. After breaking from the roots of N.W.A and Ruthless Records, I grew ...

Pros: Interesting beats and intelligent lyrics. A huge improvement over The Chronic.
Cons: Far too many guest appearances. Too many worthless skits. No appearance from Ice Cube.

So 8 years after the disappointing ‘The Chronic,’ we finally get its sequel ‘The Chronic 2001.’ The classic ‘The Chronic’ wasn’t.

Now I personally brought the original ‘Chronic’ thinking it was a classic hip...

Pros: Dr. Dre's Chronic 2001 proves to the most well produced rap album of all time
Cons: Unecessary skits, no guest appearances from Ice Cube or RBX, but still a classic anyway

Dr. Dre’s sequel to the “The Chronic” may not have been as groundbreaking as the original, but “2001 ...

Pros: Ground-breaking; Award-winning; Extremely successful;
Cons: Slave mentality; lack of responsibility;

Even my friends think I'm crazy. I like Dr Dre's music. I have ever since "The Chronic" came out when I was a 13-year-old Freshman in high school. So how did I go from knowing the words to a lot of his biggest hits to boycotting him? Here's why....

Pros: The first half of this one
Cons: The second half with the exception of a few

This is Dre's first album since '92 if you exclude "Dr. Dre Presents... The Aftermath", and all of his production work on the side. He brings along his friends from the past, as well as some unheard talent...

Here is a song by song...

Pros: Excellent Production, Nice Lyrics
Cons: A few too many guest appearances

Dr. Dre hasn't put out a solo album since 1992's smash hit "The Chronic", which introduced us to Daz, Kurupt, Lady of Rage, RBX, and really showed us the talents of a young cat named Calvin Broadus, aka Snoop Doggy Dogg. "The...

Pros: Alot of different artists are showcased, Beats are just plain Dre!
Cons: Sorry, but I think Snoop Dogg is way overused and he may have lost his touch.

I'd like to start off by saying that I'm a middle class white guy from Pa. that has been listening to Rap since Eric B and Rakim, Kwame, LL Cool J, and Public Enemy were young. I do not use drugs and never have and I have one of the biggest collections...

Pros: Dre is alive
Cons: Bad album

Personally, when I think of DRE I think of hardcore gangsta coming out of the big city ready to rattle some heads with his AK.
When I have listened to all his other music, it is really amazing to see how he has changed (in a bad way I mean).
...

Pros: Unparalleled production, very little filler
Cons: Woman bashing stings a lil sometimes

I staggered into the emergency room with my best friend on my shoulder. She had a 400-DEGREEZ fever and her mouth was dry. At first I thought it was a Y2K bug, but she’d been running the streets for most of ‘99 with these Ruff Rydin’...

Pros: very nice
Cons: a little sucky songs

This song, Forgot About Dre is like the best song in Hit Hop list.
I mean, I've never heard any kind of beats and sound of this song. It's soo nice and quick.. and listen to the lyric also, it's talking about all those people be hated on him and...

Pros: NONE
Cons: Explicit Lyrics

Like I said..."Like Whoa." I can really understand where DRE is coming from on this album, and when he was MTV the song he wrote about his brother, was actually touching if you listened to it on the album.

On DR. DRE 2001, rap's...
