I seem to be one of the only people that think "2001" is overrated. It may have started a minor West Coast renaissance and returned Dre to superstar status, but it really wasn't that good an album. It did have some very good songs (including "Still D.R.E.", "Forgot About Dre", "XXXplosive", "The Next Episode", and "What's The Difference"), but it was also too long and filled with lots of filler. The main problem, though, is that the rapping was far too cliched and uninteresting. "The Chronic" was great because it basically played out like a good 'hood movie and had lots of personality - "2001" felt like a blank exercise in gangsterism in comparison. Also, WTF was Dre thinking putting that no-talent clown Hittman on NINE songs? He almost ruined the album for me - I'm actually quite glad Dre ditched him for Xzibit after "2001" came out.
The OG Chronic hands down
I might say Chronic 01 is a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil overrated...meaning for people who think it's 10/10, I'd say it's 9.7-9.8.
