Who bought Chronic 2000 when it came out?
« on: April 06, 2008, 06:29:28 AM »
I remember going to the record store back in '99 and buying it, it had a few bangers on it "Og To Bg", "Late Night", "Roll Wit Us"

How could you not? When this album came out, it was an automatic classic.

What a ridiculous thing to say.

i bought it when it came out because i wanted to see what Death Row had to offer. there were some dope tracks on there. the Lady of Rage sound-a-likes track was pretty cool. OG2BG is a classic, Late Night and Who Do U Believe In? are dope too.

Indeed.

The album is a mixed bag containing a couple of gems (eg Late Night, Roll Wit Us), some good tracks (eg Easy Being A Soldier, Gotta Love Gangstas) and just plain awful album fillers. I've read a couple of times that Chronic 2000 went gold is that true?

I remember them advertising the "4 new Dre tracks" in the Source with a different white cover, would have been great to hear those

"OG to BG" was one of those Dre tracks originally, even during Daz verse he mentions Dre

I bought it the day it came out.. I really thought Death Row still had some juice left... turned out they didn't, and it was only going to get worse.

Only song I really liked on the album when it came out was "Like It Or Not" by Superfly.  The Pac song ofcourse was great but I had already heard it on some bootlegs.  I bumped some other tracks trying get myself to like them, but after a week or so I gave up on the album.

I remember I wanted to check out the Milkbone song because I was listening to Slim Shady LP everyday around that time, I wanted to hear another white rapper... he came out dissin Em and so I was really turned off by that track.
