The “Chronic” 2001: The Story Behind A Classic

By 1999 Dr. Dre was dealing with a great amount of doubt. It had been several years after he released his critically acclaimed debut album “The Chronic” and by 1996 Dre would leave Death Row and would start a record label that we know now today as Aftermath Entertainment. He would release a compilation album titled “Dr. Dre Presents: The Aftermath” in November of 1996 and have involvement in The Firm’s debut album. Both albums weren’t necessarily received the best and this cast a shadow of doubt over Dre. His second studio album “2001” would show his critics that he’s still got it.

21:36 Dr. Dre said Eminem wrote Forgot About Dre for him & Snoop Dogg originally and Eminem did the reference vocals for Snoop Dogg but Dr. Dre liked the way it sounded with Eminem on it, so they just kept it that way and Dr. Dre did his vocals and that was it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWHLkqqljt9kZ9E (At 2:54 mark) Also Eminem actually did write the whole song as on the 2001 album back cover, Eminem is credited for writing both of Dr. Dre’s verses and as you already mentioned Dr. Dre even said "Eminem actually wrote that. He came in and was like, ‘I got this song I wrote for you.’ The song is considered a response to the Death Row Records compilation album Suge Knight Represents Chronic 2000 Still Smokin', Death Row Records artists Tha Realest, Swoop G, Twist & Lil C Style responded with a song called F*** Dre where they diss Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, N.W.A & Nate Dogg on a modified beat of the Forgot About Dre song, the song is on the Death Row Records compilation album Too Gangsta For Radio that came out in September 2000

[@916nando]

Foo this album came out in 1999. He named it 2001 because Suge dropped the Chronic 2000 which was supposed to be the original name for this album but Suge messed that up. So Dre upped Suge one and dropped 2001.

[@The.ARCHIT3CT]

Iovine is straight cappin. According to Eminem (and Dre), Eminem gave a copy of the Slim Shady LP to a woman at the rap olympics, who eventually ended up getting a position at Interscope (by chance). SHE gave the record to Iovine, along with a bunch of other demos. Iovine forwarded the tapes to dre, and eventually Dre listened to it. He claims he never even realized Em was white until he showed up for that first recording session.

[@Tommycruz90]

[@Roy_Al_Blak202]

This video deserves an hour but I'm not mad at it 🔥

[@railxmig6266]

An unsorted batch of some info not mentioned in the video. There's a bunch of tracks that surfaced from his 1996 "Papa got a brand new bag" sessions including that smoking weed and OG Dre solo "California Love". Probably the album was supposed to have more Dre solo joints as "Been there, done that" and "Keep the heads ringing on" were also solo joints, which normally is very rare for Dre. OG "the next episode" was indeed a leftover from Snoop's "Doggystyle" album. It was most likely cut at the very end of the album's development as it's still printed on the tracklist on the album's first pressing with "G's up, H's down". Because of the nature and quality of the sound the OG version sound very haunting and i absolutely love it. I always thought "The Watcher", which is my favourite track off the album, was written by Nas. It's because i never really found Em to be "street" introspective (diff to general introspectiveness), which is something that Nas excels at. I believe the album took a hard turn around mid 1998 when Em, X & Storch were added to the team. Before that apparently the theme for the album was sort of a continuation of the creepy futuristic style Dre had under Sam Sneed in the mid 90's. Around 2 years ago a tape surfaced with a batch of demo joints including possibly the earliest track for the album called "Airwave Terrorists" and possibly the very first variant of the "What's the difference". It was back, when Melman, Hittman & Diezel were the main guys behind the album. All of "What's the difference" versions have a different Dre verse. Technically if you combined all of them you would achieve a Dre solo joint. There's an unrecognizeable amount of unreleased and never seen stuff off this album. Possibly the most known is "Malibu Dre", which was supposed to be the first single before "Still Dre" was finished. There's also a theory that some joints from Snoop's "No Limit Top Dogg" album were early leftovers from 2001 album. Snoop's album was released in mid 99, so a couple of months before 2001.

[@railxmig6266]

Last time i listened to "The Watcher" was quite some time ago and i wrote that part from memory. I decided to relisten to it and i admit i can hear Eminem all over the place. I always liked the tight yet bumpy stuff more so things like the aforementioned watcher, "Murda Ink" etc are more in my lane than Xplosive etc.

[@jigafox]

It came out as I was a freshman in college! Such an awesome time, and it was our soundtrack, so to speak. Side note, the MM LP had already came out that spring, and I’m embarrassed to admit this now, but since Em was a white rapper, I kind of dismissed him, and didn’t really listen to it or give him a chance. But then, when I heard Forgot about Dre, Em’s parts blew my socks off!! I was like, this is literally the best rapper I’ve ever heard! Been an Em fan ever since!

[@ibiggcvisuals]

I was 12 in sum kids home early smoking days n this was the soundtrack after nwa Dre returning with snoop and the whole death row movement was a big moment even here in London

6:09 The album is called The Chronic II: A New World Odor (Papa's Got A Brand New Funk) you forgot to say World lool

I think Nas wrote it.. Nas is also known to rhyme bars inside of bars Ny state of mind is a perfect example and on top of that Jay Z literally said get wrapped up in plastic when it happens that’s it ..in the takeover .. which was a Nas dis🤷🏿‍♂️

The title needs to be Corrected because DR.DRE named the album '2001" NOT CHRONIC 2001. JUST 2001. AHAHAHAHAH

[@b1gS0Wh4t]

This is the first album I ever owned. I was recording the radio on cassette before that. 12-13 yo. Definitely in my personal top 10 maybe even 5

[@marvinbennett8384]

That album was ok but after coming up on that first chronic it just wasn't the same. I think it was because it was my first time hearing Nate/daz/kurupt/rbx etc. That chronic 1 was sick , still in my top 5

[@petar3265]

24:00 name of beat and who made it?

[@vinsemi9734]

The Chronic 2001 and The Chronic is like night and day. As a guy who isn’t a fan of east coast rappers, I was like, how did Dre fall off? His last album was The Chronic.
